Q

What is searching?

A

realization as a process from execution

31
Q

What is a state space?

A

a mathematical expression that defines all the possible states a problem can have

32
Q

What are examples of search algorithms?

A

DFS, BFS, Dijkstra algorithm, Heuristic algorithms, A* algorithm, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm

33
Q

What is DFS?

A

depth first search, visit first node, move left/down, etc, of no more vertices, go back up and go right

34
Q

What is a BFS?

A

breadth-first search, visit in order from left to right, then go down a level etc, until there are no more levels to search

35
Q

What is the Dijkstra search technique?

A

a search technique that finds the shortest path in a weighted graph, where edges have different weights

36
Q

What is the A* search technique?

A

extension of the Dijkstra search that uses heuristics to guide the search

37
Q

What kind of graphs is BFS used for?

A

unweighted graphs

38
Q

What kind of graphs is Dijkstra used for?

A

weighted graphs

39
Q

What kind of graphs is A* used for?

A

weighted graphs with a heuristic function

40
Q

What is a heuristic?

A

problem-solving by trial and error by rules that are loosely defined

41
Q

True or false: Heuristic problem solving finds the optimal or perfect solution?

42
Q

When are heuristic search techniques used?

A

situations in which finding and exact solution is impossible

43
Q

What does uniformed search mean?

A

a search that searches only in a certain order without using prior information

44
Q

What are some examples of uniformed searches?

A

DFS and BFS

45
Q

What is an algorithm?

A

systematically specifying steps to solve a problem (describes detailed features of a method for solving a problem)

46
Q

What are some expression methods of algorithms?

A

flowcharts, pseudocode, and code

47
Q

What is another definition for heuristic algorithms?

A

an inexact algorithm based on intuition

48
Q

What are the positives and negatives of heuristic algorithms?

A

positives: quick and practical, can be used for situations where the exact answer cannot be found
negatives: no guarantee of logical or optimal method, not good for when exact answer is needed

49
Q

What are some examples of using algorithms in everyday life?

Q

What is an example of a heuristic algorithm?

A

51
Q

What is annealing?

A

a heat treatment process that improves the physical/chemical properties of a material by repeated heating above re-crystallization and cooling down several times

Q

What is simulated annealing?

A

an approximation algorithm used for global optimization

59
Q

What is an example of a rule-based system?

Q

What is a type of computer advisory system?

A

an expert system

61
Q

What are the core elements of an Expert system?

A

knowledge base, inference engine, UI

62

What does the inference engine do?

A

makes inferences using the knowledge base

A

through the UI

64
Q

Why is the expert system getting a lot of attention?

can provide solutions to problems that are too complex for traditional algorithms and there have been difficulties in discovering new algorithms after A*

64
Q

Which fields are expert systems very useful for?

A

medicine, finance, and engineering

65
Q

What is the difference between a rule-based system and expert system?

A

expert systems use a knowledge base of human expertise and rule-based systems use a set of rules defined by any user
