  2. 15 puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle

    Named after the number of tiles in the frame, the 15 puzzle may also be called a "16 puzzle", alluding to its total tile capacity. Similar names are used for different sized variants of the 15 puzzle, such as the 8 puzzle, which has 8 tiles in a 3×3 frame. The n puzzle is a classical problem for modeling algorithms involving heuristics.

  3. Min-conflicts algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts_algorithm

    The randomness helps min-conflicts avoid local minima created by the greedy algorithm's initial assignment. In fact, Constraint Satisfaction Problems that respond best to a min-conflicts solution do well where a greedy algorithm almost solves the problem. Map coloring problems do poorly with Greedy Algorithm as well as Min-Conflicts. Sub areas ...

  4. Heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

    Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier (2011) state that sub-sets of strategy include heuristics, regression analysis, and Bayesian inference. [14]A heuristic is a strategy that ignores part of the information, with the goal of making decisions more quickly, frugally, and/or accurately than more complex methods (Gigerenzer and Gaissmaier [2011], p. 454; see also Todd et al. [2012], p. 7).

  5. Matheuristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matheuristics

    Matheuristics [1] [2] are problem agnostic optimization algorithms that make use of mathematical programming (MP) techniques in order to obtain heuristic solutions. Problem-dependent elements are included only within the lower-level mathematic programming, local search or constructive components.

  6. MU puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MU_puzzle

    The MU puzzle is a puzzle stated by Douglas Hofstadter and found in Gödel, Escher, Bach involving a simple formal system called "MIU". Hofstadter's motivation is to contrast reasoning within a formal system (i.e., deriving theorems) against reasoning about the formal system itself.

  7. Hyper-heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-heuristic

    A hyper-heuristic is a heuristic search method that seeks to automate, often by the incorporation of machine learning techniques, the process of selecting, combining, generating or adapting several simpler heuristics (or components of such heuristics) to efficiently solve computational search problems. One of the motivations for studying hyper ...

  8. Heuristic (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(psychology)

    Educated guess heuristic: When an individual responds to a decision using relevant information they have stored relating to the problem. [49] Effort heuristic: The worth of an object is determined by the amount of effort put into the production of the object. Objects that took longer to produce are more valuable while the objects that took less ...

  9. Constraint satisfaction problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Constraint_satisfaction_problem

    The classic model of Constraint Satisfaction Problem defines a model of static, inflexible constraints. This rigid model is a shortcoming that makes it difficult to represent problems easily. [33] Several modifications of the basic CSP definition have been proposed to adapt the model to a wide variety of problems.
