GOAL NODE [8 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Through goal processing, a node forms knowledge source instantiations(KSIs) that represent potential KS applications on specific hypotheses to satisfy certain goals.

Record 3 2017-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A search that requires taking repeated steps through the multidimensional space to the minimum.

CONT

Hill climbing is depth-first search with a heuristic measurement that orders choices as nodes are expanded. The numbers beside the nodes are straight-line distances to the goal node.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Variance de la recherche en profondeur, améliorée par une heuristique d'orientation vers les successeurs les plus prometteurs. Pour chaque nœud candidat, l'heuristique mesure la distance à parcourir. Dès qu'elle rencontre un maximum local, l'escalade risque de prendre pour optimale une solution qui ne l'est pas vraiment.

CONT

La stratégie d'escalade [...] combine la recherche en profondeur d'abord et une heuristique d'orientation. Le terme escalade souligne l'analogie avec un alpiniste qui cherche à atteindre le sommet de la montagne. Cette méthode peut conduire à une solution non optimale dans le cas où elle trouve un maximum local. Elle a donc tendance à confondre colline et montagne.

OBS

P.H. Winston l'illustre par la situation suivante : lors d'une excursion à la montagne, un dense brouillard vous surprend à mi-chemin. Sans carte, ni sentier visible, votre boussole et la volonté d'arriver au but seront vos seuls guides vers le sommet.

Record 4 2017-11-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Each goal in the initial hierarchy has a height. The lowest terminal nodes are at height 0. Their parents are at height 1, and so on up the tree. The height of the root node is the height of the tree, which we call H.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Mesure des niveaux d'un graphe ou d'une hiérarchie à partir des feuilles-nœuds terminaux jusqu'à la racine ou tête, c'est-à-dire dans un sens contraire à celui de la profondeur.

Record 5 1999-04-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

An approach in which, starting with the root node, the nodes in the search tree are generated and examined level by level (before proceeding deeper). This approach is guaranteed to find an optimal solution if it exists.

DEF

A search that expands a tree level by level. First, all root children are generated. If the goal node is not found among these, then level 2 is generated, and so on.

OBS

breadth-first search: term standardized by ISO and CSA.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Recherche poursuivie sur tous les successeurs d'un état avant qu'un de leurs successeurs ne soit développé.

OBS

recherche en largeur; recherche en largeur d'abord : termes normalisés par ISO/CEI et la CSA.

Record 6 1995-05-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

One solution is to generate the graph node by node. A complete reasoning path is generated until it either reaches the goal or hits a dead end. If it hits a dead end, the next path is generated, and so on.

CONT

It is necessary for the student to ask an exhaustive series of questions, if he is to discover all of the reasoning paths considered by the program.

CONT

When expert reasoning paths are not unique or a limited window into the student’s thinking prevents monitoring each step of a chain of reasoning, how is the tutor to apportion credit and blame for the student’s observable behavior among the different knowledge sources?

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

L'enchaînement des connaissances qui a permis de conclure.

OBS

Distinct de la trace de raisonnement.

Record 7 1994-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Display Technology
CONT

... a special goals window reminds the student about the current goal in solving the problem.

CONT

A ... Goals window reminds the student about the current goal in the problem-solving.

CONT

... a "goal window" was included in which a student was required to "post" the goal(s) she was working on before selecting operators.... An open box around a node indicates the goal currently being worked on, and a closed box... indicates that a goal has been satisfied.

CONT

... goal-posting improved problem-solving performance ... we should include a goal window in our problem-solving environments and ... this will facilitate student learning... ...how can the information provided by interactions with a goal window be used by an ITS [intelligent tutoring system] to carry on discussions about the student’s goals? ... The student’s progress through the plans is automatically marked in the goal window (the tick indicating achieved plans, the arrow pointing to the current goal).
