    Artificial Intelligence - HEURISTIC FUNCTIONS

    Uploaded by

    Abhishek Lahoti
    A heuristic function is used to guide search algorithms toward solutions. It estimates how desirable a given problem state is and helps determine which path to explore first when multiple options are available. Well-designed heuristic functions provide reasonably good estimates of whether a path is promising. There is a tradeoff between the computational cost of evaluating a heuristic versus the savings in search it provides. Domain-specific heuristics can be incorporated into rule-based search procedures either in the rules themselves or as a separate evaluation function.

    A Heuristic technique helps in solving problems, even though there is no guarantee that it
    will never lead in the wrong direction. There are heuristics of every general applicability as
    well as domain specific. The strategies are general purpose heuristics. In order to use
    them in a specific domain they are coupler with some domain specific heuristics. There
    are two major ways in which domain - specific, heuristic information can be incorporated
    into rule-based search procedure.

    - As a heuristic function that evaluates individual problem states and determines how
    desired they

    are.

    A heuristic function is a function that maps from problem state description to measures
    desirability, usually represented as number weights. The value of a heuristic function at a
    given node in the search process gives a good estimate of that node being on the desired
    path to solution. Well designed heuristic functions can provides a fairly good estimate of
    whether a path is good or not. ( " The sum of the distances traveled so far" is a simple
    heuristic function in the traveling salesman problem) . the purpose of a heuristic function
    is to guide the search process in the most profitable directions, by suggesting which path
    to follow first when more than one path is available. However in many problems, the cost
    of computing the value of a heuristic function would be more than the effort saved in the
    Artificial Intelligence is the Ruler of
    search process. Hence generally there is a trade-off between the cost of evaluating a

    heuristic function and the savings in search that the function provides.
