#1
Front (Question)

Problem solving framework for computation

Back (Answer)

initial state. Goal state. Operators. Constraints. Create structure and defined search space

#2
Front (Question)

Possible methods for problem solving

Back (Answer)

brute force search. Using heuristics

#3
Front (Question)

Brute force search

Back (Answer)

Simplest method but number of possibilities grows exponentially with combinatorial explosion so impractical

#4
Front (Question)

Example heuristics

Back (Answer)

chess pattern recognition (demonstrated experts remember boards better with patterns). nearest neighbour for travelling salesman. Sloppy but fast

#5
Front (Question)

How AI uses heuristics

Back (Answer)

AlphaGo uses neural nets to look at current state. select which moves worth considering through rules. only explore promising paths

#6
Front (Question)

Example to show humans use heuristics

Back (Answer)

train parcel problem. Humans less likely to consider making sacrifices since this path not usually promising

#7
Front (Question)

Examples of problems requiring question restructuring

Back (Answer)

3D not 2D tree planting problem. Radiotherapy problem with multiple rays

#8
Front (Question)

Example combinatorial explosion

Back (Answer)

Chess with 30^60 possible moves
