Intelligence as Problem Solving
- Intelligence is the capacity to solve a wide variety of problems.
- Problem-solving involves transforming an initial state into a goal state by applying operations while following path constraints.
Combinatorial Explosion
- Analyzing problem spaces reveals combinatorial explosion: the vast number of possible pathways to a solution.
- This makes it impossible to search the entire problem space for many problems.
Relevance Realization
- Humans excel at relevance realization, zeroing in on relevant information within a problem space.
- This ability allows us to avoid combinatorial explosion by searching only a small subsection of the space.
