First of all, lecture notes must be in markdown format. It means you should have a .md file as output, not a Jupyter notebook!

Every sentence must be started with a capital case letter and obviously, there are some similar problems in next sections. Please revise them all.

| "# Rational agents and performance measure\n", | ||
| "a <b>rational</b> agent choose the set of action in order to maximize its performance. agents use a performance measure to evaluate the desirability of any given sequence. In other words, an agent will choose the action (or a sequence of them) that maximize the expected value of its performance measure." |

Some of your sentences look very similar to the reference book! It would be better if you try to express them in your own words.

| This kind of agent like goal-based agents has a goal. But they also have a Utility function they seek to reach their goal in a way that maximizes the utility function. For example, think about an automated car agent. They are many ways for this agent to get from point A to point B. But some of them are quicker, safer, cheaper. The utility function allows the agent to compare different states with each other and ask the question how happy am I in this state. | ||

In this part, it's better to write some sentences instead of just listing sub-topics. For example:

| We will use the term <b>percept</b> to refer to the agent's perceptual inputs at any given moment. | ||
| We can describe an agent's behavior by the agent function. | ||
| <b>Agent function</b> maps any given percepts sequence to an action. But how does the agent know what sequence it must choose? we will try to answer this question using a simple example. |

| #### Rationality vs perfection | ||
| Keep in mind that rationality is distinct from omniscience. An omniscient agent knows the actual outcome of its actions but in reality, an agent only knows the expected outcome of its action. For example, imagine your trying to cross the street and no cars are on the street Naturally, you will cross the street to reach your goal. now imagine as you are passing the street a meteorite falls on you. Can anyone blame you for being irrational and not expecting a meteorite to flatten you? |

| This kind of agent usually has 4 parts. the most important two are "the learning element", which is responsible for making improvements, and the "performance element", which is responsible for selecting external actions. The learning element uses feedback from a "critic" on how the agent is doing and determines how the performance element, or "actor", should be modified to do better in the future. |

| These agents try to do their best by both exploring the environment and using the gathered information to decide rationally. one of the advantages of Learning agents is that they can be deployed in an environment that they don't have a lot of prior knowledge on. they will gain this knowledge over time by exploring that environment. |
