The document discusses search techniques in artificial intelligence. It defines search as finding a sequence of actions to achieve a goal state. Common problems that use search include problem solving, natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Search involves defining a search space with states, operators to transition between states, an initial state, and a goal test. Popular uninformed search techniques like breadth-first search and depth-first search are explained. The document also introduces informed search techniques like uniform cost search that use cost information to guide the search towards optimal solutions.
