AIM: Assignments on State space formulation and PEAS representation for various AI
applications.
THEORY:
State Space Formulation for Ai Application- Chat-bot and virtual assistants.
State: The state of the chatbot/virtual assistant can be represented by various factors, such as:
1. The user's current question or request
2. The chatbot's current response or suggestion
3. The user's previous interactions with the chatbot
4. The chatbot's current level of understanding and knowledge

Actions: The actions available to the chatbot/virtual assistant can include:

1. Providing a pre-determined response or suggestion based on the user's question or
request
2. Asking the user for more information or clarification
3. Offering a list of options or choices for the user to select from
4. Transferring the user to a human representative for further assistance

Transition Function: The transition function determines how the state of the chatbot/virtual
assistant changes based on the user's actions and responses. For example:
1. If the user selects an option from a list provided by the chatbot, the chatbot's state may
change to reflect the user's choice.
2. If the user provides additional information or clarification, the chatbot's state may
change to reflect the new information.

Goal State: The goal state for the chatbot/virtual assistant can be defined in various ways,
depending on the specific application. For example:
1. The goal state may be for the chatbot to successfully provide the user with the
information or assistance they need.
2. The goal state may be for the chatbot to efficiently route the user to a human
representative if needed.
3. The goal state may be for the chatbot to continuously improve its understanding and
knowledge over time to better serve the user.
Peas Description In AI:
PEAS is an acronym that stands for Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, and
Sensors. It is a framework used in artificial intelligence to design intelligent agents.
Performance measure: This defines the objective or goal of the agent. It is a function that
maps a state of the environment to a real number that represents how well the agent is doing in
achieving its objective. The performance measure is used to evaluate the success of an agent's
actions and guide its decision-making process.
Environment: This refers to the external context in which the agent operates. It includes all
aspects of the world that are relevant to the agent's task, such as physical objects, other agents,
rules and regulations, and other environmental factors. The environment is characterized by its
current state, which can be observed by the agent through its sensors.
Actuators: These are the physical devices or mechanisms that an agent uses to interact with
the environment. Examples of actuators include robotic arms, motors, and speakers.

Sensors: These are the devices that allow an agent to perceive or sense the state of the
environment.Sensors can include cameras, microphones, temperature sensors, and other types
of sensors.
The PEAS framework is useful in designing and evaluating intelligent agents because it
provides a structured way to define the agent's objectives, the context in which it operates, the
actions it can take, and the information it can use to make decisions.
By considering these factors, designers can create more effective agents that are better suited
to their intended tasks.

PEAS Description For Ai Application-Based Chat Bots and Virtual Assistants:

Performance Measure:

• Ability to provide user with information/assistance.

• Timeliness and accuracy.
• Percentage of successful interactions.
• Average response time.
• User satisfaction ratings.

Environment:

• Digital platform or channel of interaction.

• External sources of information or data.

Actuators:

• Digital tools/technologies to provide assistance.

• Text responses, voice prompts, clickable options.
• APIs or other technologies to access external data sources.
sensors:

• Inputs to understand user's needs and respond appropriately

• User input through text or voice
• Data from external sources such as user history, location, and preferences
• Natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to interpret user input.

CONCLUSION: State space formulation and PEAS representation for Chatbots and virtual
assistants is successfully implemented.
