Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1E
Suppose that the performance measure is concerned with just the first T time steps of the environment and ignores everything thereafter. Show that a rational agent’s action may depend not just on the state of the environment but also on the time step it has reached.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Performance measure
- It tests the student’s understanding of environment, rational actions, and performance measures.
- Any sequential environment in which rewards may take time to arrive will work.
- This is because it can be arranged for the reward to be over the horizon.
- The environment state can include a clock and the action will depend on the clock as well as on the non-clock part of the state.

the knowledge-based agent is not an arbitrary program for calculating actions. It is amenable to a description at the knowledge level, where we need specify only what the agent knows and what it goains are, in order to fix its behavior. Give an Example:
Consider an agent for a vacuum cleaner environment in which the geography of the environment (extent, boundaries, and obstacles) is unknown as is the initial dirt configuration. The agent can go up and down as well as left and right. Can a simple reflex agent be perfectly rational for this environment? Explain in a few sentences using an example scenario
Identify an Industrial application where intelligent control is necessary and implement Fuzzy based approach or neural network based approach in solving the issue.
Develop the mathematical model and algorithm for the industrial application using MATLAB or any other open source software and run the simulation and get the output verified.
Report the output with different training tolerance, different activation function and report the output of the simulation.
Interpret the output of the designed algorithm with respect to change in training parameters.

The activation function and the linear function, which is represented by the equation z = Wx + b, are both calculated by neurons.

Before using the result in an activation function, neurons perform a calculation to get the mean of all of their features.arrow_forward
