In problem solving, a trial and error approach involving successive evaluations at each step made in the process of reaching the final result. In contrast, an algorithm represents a consistent approach in arriving at an optimal result.  3, record 1, English, - heuristic%20approach

We have replaced bottom-up matching with an approach based on analogical mapping. Such an approach uses a set of heuristics to delimit what is to be "imported" from a base to a target domain at a given time. One such heuristic involves mapping previously formed abstractions, such as those embodying causal and planning rules.  3, record 2, English, - analogical%20mapping

Apprentissage par analogie. L'objectif est de privilégier les caractéristiques qui ont le plus d'utilité et de chance d'être préservées ou transposables d'une analogie à l'autre. Les travaux de Gentner ont mis en évidence que les mises en correspondance de systèmes de relations sont nettement plus puissantes à cet égard.  1, record 2, French, - mise%20en%20correspondance%20analogique

Another approach to computerizing this game uses heuristic techniques to optimize each play. To do this, we must define a win matrix W, which contains all the winning positions and conditional win matrices containing only two columns of the win matrix.  1, record 3, English, - win%20matrix

Methods that use vision to locate a workpiece and the sites on it suitable for gripping have been reported by Birk, Kelley, and Wilson. The proposed three approaches, each of which utilizes two distinct phases called the instruction phase and the execution phase.... An approach called "heuristic acquisition" uses rules based on a priori knowledge of the workpiece and its hold sites. Here, the instruction phase consists of testing different heuristics for acquiring a part, such as "look for the hole that is large enough to insert a finger into" or "find a flat surface large enough to accommodate the cup on a SAVG". During execution, the image of the workpiece is examined to satisfy the heuristics for that part, and the robot proceeds. Since a heuristic does not guarantee that there is a solution, safety mechanisms such as contact sensors must be included to protect both the robot and the part from damage.  1, record 4, English, - heuristic%20acquisition
