English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Almost any probabilistic search algorithm can be analyzed using landscapes where the algorithm walks along the landscape graph an edge at a time. This means that even [genetic algorithms(GA) ] can be seen as doing a local search.

Récemment, les techniques développées en planification de trajectoires, autour des algorithmes de recherche probabiliste, permettent de traiter des problèmes de grande dimension en perdant la propriété de complétude (complet en probabilité).

In computer science, graph traversal(also known as graph search) refers to the process of visiting(checking and/or updating) each vertex in a graph. Such traversals are classified by the order in which the vertices are visited.

OBS

Depth first search(DFS) and breadth first search(BFS) are the two main types of graph traversals.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Computer Programs and Programming
DEF

A graph traversal algorithm that explores nodes in the order of their distance from the roots, where distance is defined as the minimum path length from a root to the node.

OBS

It starts at the tree root(or some arbitrary node of a graph, sometimes referred to as a 'search key’), and explores all of the neighbor nodes at the present depth prior to moving on to the nodes at the next depth level.

CONT

L'algorithme de parcours en largeur permet de calculer les distances de tous les nœuds depuis un nœud source dans un graphe non pondéré (orienté ou non orienté). Il peut aussi servir à déterminer si un graphe non orienté est connexe.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

There is an example of a tree : root A; branches AB, AC, AD; children B, C, D; branches BE, BF, CG, CH, HI; leaves E, F, G, H, I; C is a parent of G and H; G and H are the children of C; C is an ancestor of I; I is a descendant of C. This tree has 4 levels : level o(root) ;level 4(B, C, D) ;level 2(E, F, G, H) and level 3(I). As mentioned, most problems do not permit the entire tree/or graph) to be generated at one time; hence, different search strategies have been developed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Dans un graphe, arbre ou arborescence, tout sommet qui n'est pas une feuille, y compris la racine, et qui a des descendants à deux niveaux d'épaisseur au moins.

CONT

Ces arbres peuvent être considérés comme un exemple simplifié de réseaux sémantiques [...] des réseaux dont le type d'arc est limité à des relations hiérarchiques utilisées par des procédures de contrôle comme mécanismes d'héritage ou transmission de propriétés d'un nœud ancêtre (plus général) vers son ou ses nœuds progéniture (plus spécialisés).

CONT

The A[ star]: algorithm is a best-first search method. It means that the algorithm simultaneously contains several paths which may all be candidates for the shortest path. At any time, it selects the most promising node(best-first) at a time for expansion, and incorporates the successor nodes into the search graph. The criterion for evaluation is the length of the path from start to the node plus the estimate of the remaining distance(cost). The theory says that if the remaining estimate is an underestimate, the first solution will be optimal.

OBS

A[star] search algorithm; A[star] algorithm: The word "star" and the square brackets that surround it replace the symbol representing a star, also known as an "asterisk," because it cannot be reproduced due to technical constraints.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

L'algorithme A[étoile] est un algorithme de recherche [du] meilleur chemin de type meilleur d'abord. L'idée est de parcourir le graphe G depuis le sommet source jusqu'au sommet cible en se déplaçant dans les «meilleurs» sommets, [c'est-à-dire] ceux ayant le plus petit coût global : coût du chemin depuis la source + coût estimé jusqu'à la cible.

OBS

algorithme de recherche A[étoile]; algorithme A[étoile] : Le mot «étoile» et les crochets qui l'entourent remplacent le symbole représentant une étoile, aussi appelé «astérisque», parce qu'il est impossible de le reproduire en raison de contraintes techniques.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

If the tutoring system is to guide the student in solving problems, the expert module must also generate sensible solution paths so that intermediate steps can be compared. Perhaps most important, it must be able to generate multiple possible solutions paths, rather than just a single one required for CAI models of expertise.

CONT

... by analysing the shape of the search space and simple syntactic properties of the nodes of the graph..., it is possible to determine potentially useful features of the space, such as when students tend to abandon a solution path,... whether the search is in any way systematic, and so on.

CONT

This program compromises neatly between the options of trying to ensure that the student follows a recommended pre-stored solution path for each problem, and of allowing him to follow whatever path he wishes.

CONT

The effect of this [immediate] feedback procedure is to prevent floundering by keeping students on a correct solution path.

OBS

Contrast with solution trace.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

All of the possible states that could be evaluated during a search. The search space often is represented as an inverted tree, called a search tree.

CONT

The shape of the search space determines whether forward or backward chaining is more efficient.

CONT

An ill-formed problem has an unbounded search space and thus presents an infinity of "first moves".

CONT

... by analysing the shape of the search space and simple syntactic properties of the nodes of the graph..., it is possible to determine potential useful features of the space, such as when students tend to abandon a solution path, where they tend to back up, which nodes seem to be a source of difficulty... Consequently, it may be possible for an [Intelligent Tutoring System] to give strategic advice to a student, from the evidence of structural properties of the search space.
