Best-first-search
- The best-first-search algorithm is a search algorithm used to search a particular node of a graph.
- This search algorithm explores the graph like, it chooses a most promising node according to some specific rules.
- The best-first-search algorithm refer specifically to a search with a heuristic. This search tries to predict how close the end of a path is to a solution, so that paths that are considered closer to a solution are extended first.
- The specific type of search is called pure heuristic search or greedy best-first search.
A* search algorithm:
- The A* search algorithm is a search algorithm used to search a particular node of a graph.
- A* algorithm is a variant of the best-first algorithm based on the use of heuristic methods to achieve optimality and completeness.
- The algorithm A* is an example of a best-first search algorithm.
- If a search algorithm has the property of optimality, it means that the best possible solution is guaranteed to be found. Here, the user wants the shortest path to the final state.
Uniform cost search:
- The uniform cost search algorithm is used to traverse weighted tree or graph.
- The ultimate aim of the uniform cost search is that to find the goal node that has the lowest cumulative cost.
- The uniform cost search expands nodes based on the root node’s path cost.
- The algorithm is used to solve the graph, tree where the cost is in demand.

The heuristic path algorithm is a best-first search in which the objective function is f(n)= 3w*g(n) + (2w+1) * h(n), 0≤w<3.
For what values of w is this algorithm guaranteed to be optimal?
Computer Science
A way to avoid overfitting in Deep Neural Networks is to add an additional term R to the loss function L (for example L can be the cross entropy loss) as follows: L(w) + λR(w). (1) You know that one choice for R is the L2 norm, i.e. R(w) = ||w||2 2 . One friend of yours from the School of Maths told you however that there’s no need to use squares (i.e. powers of two) and that you can achieve the same effect by using absolute values, i.e. the L1 norm: R(w) = ||w||1. Would you agree with him? i.e. is the use of the L2 norm equivalent to using the L1 norm for regularization purposes? Justify your answer

- Consider two algorithms for the same problem: • Algorithm A, which runs in O(n) and produces a correct answer with probability 0.7, and a wrong answer with probability 0.3. • Algorithm B, which runs in O(n log n) and produces a correct answer with probability 0.99, and a wrong answer with probability 0.01.

For this problem you have two algorithms to solve it. For each algorithm, some problem instances of P run in polynomial time and others run in exponential time (there are lots of heuristic-based algorithms for real N P-complete problems with this behavior). You can’t tell beforehand for any given problem instance whether it will run in polynomial or exponential time on either algorithm. However, you do know that for every problem instance, at least one of the two algorithms will solve it in polynomial time. (a) What should you do?

It can also be used for parameter selection if we make sure to use the training set only. To select parameter A of algorithm A(X) over an enumerated range d E [A1,..., A] using dataset D, we do the following: 1. Split the data D into 10 disjoint folds. 2. For each value of A e (A1,..., Ar]: (a) For i = 1 to 10 Train A(A) on all folds but ith fold Test on ith fold and record the error on fold i (b) Compute the average performance of A on the 10 folds. 3. Pick the value of A with the best average performance Now, in the above, D only includes the training data and the parameter A is chosen without the knowledge of the test data. We then re-train on the entire train set D using the chosen A and evaluate the result on the test set.arrow_forward
