12 Questions
What is the main characteristic of a heuristic search?
It uses logic in decision making
What is the goal of heuristic algorithms?
To find an approximate solution in a reasonable amount of time
What does the term 'problem dependent' mean in the context of heuristic search?
It implies that the approach varies based on the specific problem
What does a heuristic search offer with respect to computation time?
No guarantee of efficiency
What is the primary characteristic of metaheuristics?
Techniques for exploration and exploitation of a wider search space
Which of the following is NOT a famous metaheuristic technique?
Breadth-First Search
What distinguishes metaheuristics from heuristics?
Problem-independent techniques
When can you use metaheuristics after employing a heuristic technique?
To find better solutions in a wider search space
What is the purpose of proposing an initial solution in the context of search techniques?
To kickstart the search process with a starting point
In the context of search techniques, what does updating criteria involve?
Reevaluating the search direction based on new information
What does it mean for elements of search techniques to be 'stochastic'?
They involve randomness and probability
How do population-based elements differ from single point elements in search techniques?
Population-based elements consider multiple solutions simultaneously
