n this question, we will ask whether an information cascade can occur if each individual sees only the action of his immediate neighbor rather than the actions of all those who have chosen previously. Let's keep the same setup as in the Information Cascades model discussed in the class, except than when individual i chooses he observes only his own signal and the action of individual - 1. 1. Briefly explain why the decision problems faced by individuals 1 and 2 are unchanged by this modification to the information network. 2. Individual 3 observes the action of individual 2, but not the action of individual 1. What can 3 infer about 2's signal from 2's action? 3. Can 3 infer anything about 1's signal from 2's action? Briefly explain. 4. What should 3 do if he observes a high signal and he knows that 2 Accepted? What if 3's signal was low and 2 Accepted? 5. Do you think that a cascade can form in this world? Briefly explain why or why not (a formal proof is not necessary).

The Head Chef learns the level of motivation and satisfaction of his chefs. The chef's motivation and satisfaction can be represented as a whole. The Great Chef wants to know the smallest value of a single satisfaction value and the source value of the various N values. Satisfaction rates and incentives may apply to the same chef or different chefs. With the provision of two identical members, the same first members show the amount of motivation and the same second members reflect the level of satisfaction of the chefs. We can find a set of statistics (add one part to the first list and one to the second). For each question (defined by the whole number qi (i = 1 to Q), Q means the number of questions), find the qi th element in the mathematical set (in the unadulterated order) using Python language.

There are many sensors on a wind turbine, based on each sensor's reading many alerts are generated as (start, end). For easier monitoring, our customer is asking to raise alerts on the turbine level instead of on each sensor. If any sensor is having an alert, there should be an alert for the entire wind turbine. Suppose the alerts created with two sensors readings are [(0,3),(5,10),(1,4),(10,15)], then the turbine level alert should be [(0,4),(5,15)]. Return the alerts sorted by the start timestamp. If there is no alert from the sensor level, return an empty array []. Code needs to be in Python?
For problem 2, you should provide two answers for each of the search strategies: the states expanded and the solution. Problem 2 Alice the agent wants to go skiing right after AI class is over. She starts in the lecture hall (the "Start" state below) and wants to make it to Alta (the "Goal" state) as soon as possible. There are several possible paths she can take denoted in the graph below ( refer to image ): The available actions at each state are denoted by arrows with a path cost label above each arrow. For each of the following graph search strategies, figure out the order in which states are expanded as well as the path returned by graph search. When choosing an arbitrary order of state expansions (to break ties), use alphabetical ordering. Remember that in graph search, states are expanded only once. Depth-first search Breadth-first search Uniform cost search A* search
1) design an artificial neural network with two inputs (X1 and X2). She won't have the bias. This network will have a hidden layer with two neurons (N1 and N2), plus an output layer, with one neuron (N3). The output of the network is called Y. Make the weights (W's) of each neuron explicit in the network, as well as the interconnections between all parts of the ANN.
Suppose we have two industrial control systems S1 and S2 that are workingconcurrently. We need to forbid some sequence of actions from taking placebetween the two systems. One such action is allowing S1 and S2 to be onat the same time. Consider the alphabet:Σ = {On(S1), On(S2), Off(S1), Off(S2)}A sequence of actions is a word over Σ∗.i. Convert the property on sequences given above into a language, andthen define an NFA that accepts it.ii. A second property is that S2 must power off after S1, but S2 mustpower on before S1. Define a language which captures this property(and this property only), and then define a NFA that accepts it.
