SCXT 350
Exam #1 Review
Disclaimer: I have attempted to be comprehensive in the following,
but important items may have been omitted by mistake. If you see such
an omission, please let me know, but you are responsible for all of
the lecture material to date.
The second hour exam will be held on Friday, Oct 20. It will
cover
- The Marr paper
- Course notes (see part02.ppt and part03.ppt)
Be able to
- Give a description of Marr's three levels of explanation for
an information processing system, and apply this approach to
symple systems by way of examples.
- Be able to describe the various approaches to knowledge
representation taken in this course. You should be able to define
terms, give descriptions, and draw sketches. I might, for example,
give you some facts and ask you to sketch how these facts might be
represented in the various schemes we have studied.
- Be able to give definitions of state, operator, preconditions,
and postconditions, and to say how they might apply to some
particular problem. Be able to describe depth-first and
breadth-first search, give a definition of heuristics (and give an
example), and describe means-ends analysis and production systems
(to be discussed in class on Friday, Oct. 13).
There may be more, but I think that's it. If you have any questions,
please ask.
