This document discusses different types of agents and environments for artificial intelligence. It defines an agent as anything that perceives its environment and acts upon it. Agents can be human, robotic, or other entities. Environments are characterized by percepts, actions, and a performance measure for evaluating an agent's success. Rational agents aim to maximize their performance based on percept sequences and built-in knowledge. More advanced agent types include model-based reflex agents that maintain internal models, goal-based agents that act based on goals, and utility-based agents that optimize for utility functions. Learning agents can improve over time using feedback from a critic component.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

2. 2
Agents
An agent is anything that can be viewed as
perceiving its environment through sensors and
acting upon that environment through actuators
Human agent:
Sensors: eyes, ears, and other organs
Actuators: hands, legs, mouth, and other body parts
Robotic agent:
Sensors: cameras and infrared range finders
Actuators: various motors
3. 3
Agents
The agent function maps from percept histories to
actions:
[f: P* A]
Percept history is also known as percept sequence.
6. 6
Rational agents
An agent should strive to "do the right thing", based on
what it can perceive and
the actions it can perform
The right action is the one that will cause the agent to be most
successful
Performance measure: An objective criterion for success of an
agent's behavior
E.g., performance measure of a vacuum-cleaner agent could be
amount of dirt cleaned up,
amount of time taken,
amount of electricity consumed,
amount of noise generated, etc.
7. 7
Rational agents
Rational Agent:
Given:
Possible percept sequence,
The evidence provided by the percept sequence and
Whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.
Aim: For each possible percept sequence a rational
agent should select an action
Subject to: maximize its performance measure.
8. 8
Rational and Omniscience Agent
Omniscience agent knows the actual outcome of its
actions, and can act accordingly.
Omniscience agent is impossible.
Aim: For each possible percept sequence a rational
agent should select an action
In summary, rational at any time depends on 4
things
The performance measure (degree of success)
Percept sequence (perception history)
Knowledge about the environment
The performed actions
9. 9
Ideal Rational agents
For each possible percept sequence, an ideal
rational agent should do whatever action is
expected to maximize its performance
measure, on the basis of the evidence
provided by the percept sequence and
whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.
10. 10
Mapping (Percept seq to actions )
A rule transfer percept sequences to action.
Very long list.
Mapping describe agents then ideal mapping
describe ideal agents
Square root problem (Program and mapping
table e.g).
11. 11
Autonomy
Agent actions are completely based on the
built-in knowledge (mapping table) then the
agent called lacks autonomy. (e.g. clock)
Behavior can be based on both
Its own experience
Built-in-knowledge
Truly autonomous intelligent agent should be
avoid unsuccessful result (e.g. dung beetle).
12. 12
Rational agents
Rationality is distinct from omniscience (all-
knowing with infinite knowledge)
Agents can perform actions in order to modify
future percepts so as to obtain useful
information (information gathering,
exploration)
An agent is autonomous if its behavior is
determined by its own experience (with ability
to learn and adapt)
13. 13
PEAS
Task environment – are essentially the ‘problems’ to
which rational agents are ‘solutions’.
Task environment specified by PEAS:
Performance measure
Environment
Actuators
Sensors
Must first specify the setting for intelligent agent
design
16. 16
PEAS : Example 3
Agent: Part-picking robot
Performance measure: Percentage of parts in
correct bins
Environment: Conveyor belt with parts, bins
Actuators: Jointed arm and hand
Sensors: Camera, joint angle sensors
17. 17
PEAS : Example 4
Agent: Interactive English tutor
Performance measure: Maximize student's
score on test
Environment: Set of students
Actuators: Screen display (exercises,
suggestions, corrections)
Sensors: Keyboard
18. 18
Environment types
Fully observable (vs. partially observable): An agent's sensors
give it access to the complete state of the environment at each
point in time.
Deterministic (vs. stochastic): The next state of the environment
is completely determined by the current state and the action
executed by the agent. (If the environment is deterministic except
for the actions of other agents, then the environment is strategic)
Episodic (vs. sequential): The agent's experience is divided into
atomic "episodes" (each episode consists of the agent perceiving
and then performing a single action), and the choice of action in
each episode depends only on the episode itself.
19. 19
Environment types
Static (vs. dynamic): The environment is unchanged
while an agent is deliberating.
The environment is semi dynamic if the environment itself
does not change with the passage of time but the agent's
performance score does.
Discrete (vs. continuous): A limited number of
distinct, clearly defined percepts and actions.
Single agent (vs. multiagent): An agent operating by
itself in an environment.
20. 20
Environment types
Chess with Chess without Taxi driving
a clock a clock
Fully observable Yes Yes No
Deterministic Strategic Strategic No
Episodic No No No
Static Semi Yes No
Discrete Yes Yes No
Single agent No No No
The environment type largely determines the agent design
The real world is (of course) partially observable, stochastic, sequential,
dynamic, continuous, multi-agent
21. 21
Agents and Environments
The agent function maps from percept histories to actions:
[f: P* A]
The agent program runs on the physical architecture to produce f
agent = architecture + program
22. 22
Agent functions and programs
An agent is completely specified by the agent
function mapping percept sequences to
actions
An agent function (or a small equivalence
class) is rational
Aim: find a way to implement the rational
agent function concisely
23. 23
Table-lookup agent
Drawbacks:
Huge table
Take a long time to build the table
No autonomy
Even with learning, need a long time to learn the table entries
24. 24
Agent types
Four basic types in order of increasing
generality:
Simple reflex agents
Model-based reflex agents
Goal-based agents
Utility-based agents
25. 25
Simple reflex agents
These agents select actions on the basis of current
percept, ignoring the rest of the percept history.
Agent program for a vacuum-cleaner agent
27. 27
Simple reflex agents
This types of agents are very simple to implement.
They work properly if the correct decision can be made on the
basis of current percept only i.e. if the environment is fully
observable.
Example of vacuum cleaning agent with a dirt sensor only
28. 28
Model-based reflex agents
To handle partial observability it is effective to keep track of the
world it can’t see now.
i.e. an agent should maintain an internal state representing a
model of the world. The state changes through percepts and
actions.
Example:
Changing state by percept: An overtaking car will generally be
closer to behind than it was a moment ago.
Changing state by action: If the car moves to the right lane there is
a gap in the place before.
31. 31
Goal-based agents
The state of environment is not always sufficient to decide
what to do.
Example: At a road junction, the taxi can turn left, turn right,
or go straight. The percept and internal state says it’s a
junction but which way to go depend on the goal (what way
is the passenger’s destination).
33. 33
Utility-based agents
Goals sometimes are not enough to generate high quality
behavior.
For example, out of many possible routes a taxi can follow,
some are quicker, safer, more reliable and cheaper than
others.
The degree of happiness while achieving a goal is
represented by utility.
A utility function maps a state (or a sequence of states) onto
a real number which describes the degree of happiness.
35. 35
Learning agents
A learning agent has a performance element that
decides which actions to take,
and a learning element that can change the performance
element to be more efficient as the agents learns.
A critic component is used to evaluate how well the agent
is doing and provide feedback to the learning component,
and a problem generator that can deviate from the usual
routine and explore new possibilities.
