Here’s this week’s homework:

• Read Section 3 of: Matthew Stone, 2003. Agents in the real world: Computational models in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.

• Use the Scheme code for decision models to make a decision model of your own. Play with it using the interpreters interact, execute, utility, and solve. Email me the code for your decision model and describe your explorations.

Sorry I was confused today about when class ends and didn’t go over an extended language for modeling decision processes that separates nature’s choice of the value of a random variable and the agent’s discovery of that value. If you’re interested, you can see Scheme and Haskell implementations of this extended language and the Monty Hall problem.
