What is a belief state?

  • A.The agent's estimate of what other agents believe
  • B.The internal state a model based reflex agent maintains
  • C.A probability distribution over the possible current states
  • D.The set of facts the agent currently holds to be true

Answer: C

A belief state assigns a probability to each state the agent might be in, and is updated by Bayes' rule as percepts arrive and by the transition model as actions are taken. In a logical setting the corresponding notion is a set of possible worlds. Nested beliefs about other agents and deterministic internal state are related but distinct. Carrying a distribution rather than a point estimate is what allows the agent to act sensibly when it is genuinely unsure.
