Part A

125 marks
a

Discuss in detail about simulated annealing search.

5 marks

Answer

Simulated annealing is a stochastic local search algorithm that combines hill climbing with a random walk to escape local optima. It mimics the metallurgical process of annealing, where a material is heated and then slowly cooled to reach a low-energy crystalline state.

The algorithm evaluates a neighbor state and accepts it if it improves the objective function. If the move is worse, it is accepted with a probability

p = eΔE/T
, where
ΔE
is the change in energy (quality) and
T
is the current temperature. As the temperature
T
gradually decreases over time, the probability of accepting worse moves diminishes, eventually causing the algorithm to settle into a global optimum.

b

Explain the concept of optimal decision in games.

5 marks

Answer

An optimal decision in a game is one that maximizes the agent's utility, assuming the opponent is also playing optimally to minimize that same utility. In zero-sum games, this is achieved using the Minimax algorithm.

The algorithm explores the game tree to compute the minimax value of each state. For a state

s
, the value is the maximum utility the agent can guarantee, given the opponent's best counter-play. By recursively evaluating nodes, the agent selects the move that leads to the state with the highest minimax value, ensuring the best possible outcome regardless of the opponent's strategy.

Construct a Bayesian Network and define the necessary CPTs for the given scenario. We have a bag of three biased coins a,b and c with probabilities of coming up heads of 20%, 60% and 80% respectively. One coin is drawn randomly from the bag (with equal likelihood of drawing each of the three coins) and then the coin is flipped three times to generate the outcomes X1, X2 and X3.
