The figure shows a map with several locations on a grid where each tile is 1x1 in size. The locations
are at grid points and are connected by two way edges (roads), where each edge has a cost that is
the same in both directions. Observe that the edge costs are not necessarily proportional to the
coordinate based distance estimates.
The start node is S and the goal node is G, the MoveGen function returns neighbours in
alphabetical order. Use Manhattan distance as the heuristic function.
Tie-breaker: when several nodes have the same best cost, use alphabetical order to break ties.
Emulate A*, wA* and Branch-and-Bound on the given map, then answer the given subquestions .

AUTOMATED PLANNING
The domain description of a blocks-world with a single one-armed robot is provided below.
Note: this is the same domain description used in the weekly assignments.
Subgoal ordering rule: treat the start state, goal description, preconditions and the effects as lists
that are accessed from left to right. When the elements in a list are pushed one by one onto a
stack, the last element in the list will be at the top of the stack. It has the effect of reversing the list.
Tie-breaker for block placement: when there are multiple locations for placing a block, first
choose a location that satisfies a goal at hand, or else, choose a location that will lead to a plan, or
else, place it on the table.
Tie-breaker for action selection: when actions are chosen non-deterministically, choose actions
that lead to a plan, even a suboptimal plan is fine. Throwaway the actions that may lead to loops.
A planning problem is given below, find a plan using the operators and predicates defined in the
blocks-world domain.
Based on the above data,answer the given subquestions.

Case: Southwestern Project: Communication Turmoil
Jack asked, “How is the Southwestern project coming along?” Ms. Lee said, “I need to talk to you
about that.” “I don’t want to hear any excuses, just get this project done,” Jack yelled to Wei Lee.
Ms. Lee said, “Fine. I quit. Do it yourself.” Ms. Lee is the senior project manager and is in charge of
completing a customized training program for the firm’s largest client. Jack was hired from the
outside just two months ago as vice president of training. Ms. Lee believes that her credentials are
more appropriate and impressive than are Jack’s. Ms. Lee expected the job. She has no
alternatives lined up. Jack has already earned a reputation for being harsh in a place where people
formerly enjoyed working. The particular project in question includes extensive material/course
manual preparation as well as classroom sessions. Before the interruption, Ms. Lee was
attempting to communicate to Jack that the client had requested a significant variation from what
was originally contracted. The good news that Ms. Lee had to share was that the client had agreed
to double the fee.

Consider a credit card company analyzing its customer base to assess the risk of default on credit
card payments. The company wants to use the WoE technique to transform the "Income Level"
feature, which is a categorical variable with values "Low," "Medium," and "High," based on the
observed relationship with the target variable (default or non-default). After analyzing historical
data, the company finds that the WoE values for each income level are as follows:
● WoE for "Low" income level = -0.75

● WoE for "Medium" income level = 0.15
● WoE for "High" income level = -0.90
What does the negative WoE value for the "High" income level suggest in the context of credit risk
modeling?

Suppose a bank is analyzing the credit risk of a group of borrowers over a period of four quarters
(Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4). The bank uses the "roll forward rate" to assess the probability of default for
these borrowers during this time. The following table shows the number of borrowers in different
credit risk categories:
What does the roll forward rate indicate about the credit risk migration of borrowers from Q1 to
Q4?
Options :
6406531966724. Borrowers with high credit risk in Q1 significantly improved their credit risk
status by Q4.
6406531966725. The credit risk status of borrowers remained stable with no significant changes
over the quarters.
6406531966726. Borrowers with low credit risk in Q1 are likely to have a higher probability of
default by Q4.

Statement 1: For every graph G and every maximum flow on G, there always exists an edge such
that increasing the capacity on that edge will increase the maximum flow that’s possible in the
graph.
Statement 2: Suppose the maximum (s, t)-flow of some graph has value f. Now we increase the
capacity of every edge by 1. Then the maximum (s, t)-flow in this modified graph will have value at
most f + 1.
