What is the difference between brute force search and heuristic search?
Brute force is a systematic approach. Heuristics use educated guesses, rules of thumb and common sense.
What are the purpose of an algorithm?
As described in the link, an algorithm (the word is based on the name of the Arabic scholar who developed the concept) is a finite list of steps that can be taken in order to solve a specific problem or to produce a certain result. It is important to note that an algorithm does not put you into an infinite loop. There is a path to a final conclusion. It was first developed as a set of procedures for doing arithmetic calculations. Algorithms can be pictured with familiar symbols (see link) like boxes, diamond shapes, circles, etc. connected by arrows showing various points of decision making, and what conclusions can be drawn if you end up at a given point (presuming you followed the 'flow' correctly, and answered the questions accurately-- and also presuming that the algorithm is rigorous.) Of course, the concept is easily applicable to all kinds of engineering and theoretical areas. Algorithms are 'heuristic', meaning that they are seen as basically unjustified, and incapable of justification in and of themselves. This is really a basic and very powerful idea. Heuristics are completely flexible, and they can grow and change as the various conclusions and outcomes are examined. nice answer
What method did Rita use?
heuristics
What are advantages and disadvantages of heuristics?
not sure what is the answer to the question?
In problem solving the term rule of thumb refers to?
heuristics
What are some heuristics examples?
fixing a broken heart raising children
What are some pro's and con's of using heuristics?
A pro of using heuristics is that it helps build people's confidence in their problem-solving abilities. A con is that people sometimes resort to stereotyping as part of their decision-making process.
Define heuristics in three words?
"Rule Of Thumb" "Common Sense Guess"
What is the most likely result of the use of heuristics rather than algorithms?
Get you a quicker answer.
Do animals have heuristics?
I think it depends on the kind of "animal" but for most my reply would be, NUP.
What strategies allow us to solve problems and make judgments efficiently are called?
heuristics
What is a computing process by which programs attempt to improve their performance by learning from their previous experience?
heuristics
What is difference between heuristics and metaheuristics?
The word heuristic is derived form the Greek word "heuriskein", which is related to the concept of finding something. Metaheuristics on the other hand is simply the combination of the word heuristics with the prefix meta, which means advance level of heuristic.
What problem solving strategies dont guaruntee solutions but make efficient use of time?
Heuristics
