Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a graph search with both admissible and inconsistent heuristics. How would you approach optimizing the search, and what might be the challenges?
💡 Hint: Think about the balance between accuracy and efficiency.
Design an experiment to compare hill climbing and simulated annealing on a given optimization problem. What metrics will you use to evaluate their performance?
💡 Hint: Consider how each method's strategy affects these metrics.
