Document Summary
Thinking any mental activity or processing of information. Processing of information including learning, remembering, perceiving, feeling, believing, and deciding. Artificial intelligence the study and design of computer systems created to mimic human cognitive abilities. Three general cases we can consider: very familiar problem algorithm, very little relevant knowledge hill climbing, some relevant knowledge means end analysis. An algorithm for problem-solving is a formula. Cherry pie know what to do, step-by-step problem solving sequence. You will fall back on strategies that are very general-purpose, and will be more or less applicable to any situation. Look ahead and selecting an alternative that you judge will bring you closer to your goal. Ineffective might not be able to see other options that would lead you to the goal faster. Compare the current state to the goal state. If there is no difference between them, the problem is solved.
