3. AGENT

4. AGENT
 Agents are systems or software programs capable
of autonomous, purposeful and reasoning directed
towards one or more goals.
 They are also called assistants, brokers, bots,
droids, intelligent agents, and software agents.

5. AGENT

6. AUTONOMOUS ROBOT

7. AUTONOMOUS ROBOT
 Robot free from external control or influence and
able to control itself independently.

8. AUTONOMOUS ROBOT

9. BLACKBOARD

10. BLACKBOARD
 It is the memory inside computer, which is used for
communication between the cooperating expert
systems.

11. PERCEPTS

12. PERCEPTS
 It is the format in which the agent obtains
information about the environment.

13. ENVIRONMENT

14. ENVIRONMENT
 It is the part of real or computational world inhabited
by the agent.

15. ENVIRONMENT
Percepts
OR inputs

16. FORWARD CHAINING
 Strategy of working forward for conclusion/solution of a
problem.

18. BACKWARD CHAINING
 Strategy of working backward for Reason/Cause of
a problem.

20. HEURISTICS

21. HEURISTICS
 It is the knowledge based on Trial-and-error,
evaluations, and experimentation.

22. HEURISTICS

23. KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING

24. KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
 Acquiring knowledge from human experts and other
resources.

25. KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
 Acquiring knowledge from human experts and other
resources.

26. KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING

27. PRUNING

28. PRUNING
 Overriding unnecessary and irrelevant
considerations in AI systems.
 Pruning is an algorithm used to reduce the number
of nodes that have to be evaluated to reach the
optimal solution.
 Pruning works by blocking the evaluation of nodes
whose leaf nodes would give worse results
compared to the one that was previously examined.

29. PRUNING

30. RULE

31. RULE
 It is a format of representing knowledge base in
Expert System.
 It is in the form of IF-THEN-ELSE.

32. RULE

33. SHELL
 A shell is a software that helps in designing
inference engine, knowledge base, and user
interface of an expert system.

36. TASK
 It is the goal the agent tries to accomplish.

37. TURING TEST

38. TURING TEST
 A test developed by Allan Turing to test the
intelligence of a machine as compared to human
intelligence.

39. TURING TEST
 A test developed by Allan Turing to test the
intelligence of a machine as compared to human
intelligence.
