13. The process of removing detail from a given state representation is called ______
A. Extraction
B. Abstraction
C. Information Retrieval
D. Mining of data
View Answer
Ans : B
Explanation: The process of removing detail from a representation is called abstraction.
14. Which of the following search algorithm searches forward from initial state and backward from goal state till both meet to identify a common state?
A. Uniform Cost Search
B. Iterative Deepening Depth-First Search
C. Bidirectional Search
D. None of the Above
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: Bidirectional Search searches forward from initial state and backward from goal state till both meet to identify a common state.
15. When is breadth-first search is optimal?
A. When there is less number of nodes
B. When all step costs are equal
C. When all step costs are unequal
D. All of the above
View Answer
Ans : B
Explanation: Because it always expands the shallowest unexpanded node.
16. uniform-cost search expands the node n with the __________
A. Lowest path cost
B. Heuristic cost
C. Highest path cost
D. Average path cost
View Answer
Ans : A
Explanation: Uniform-cost search expands the node n with the lowest path cost. Note that if all step costs are equal, this is identical to breadth-first search.
17. What is the heuristic function of greedy best-first search?
A. f(n) != h(n)
B. f(n) < h(n)
C. f(n) = h(n)
D. f(n) > h(n)
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: f(n) = h(n) is the heuristic function of greedy best-first searc
18. A* algorithm is based on __________
A. Breadth-First-Search
B. Depth-First-Search
C. Uniform Cost Search
D. Best-First-Search
View Answer
Ans : D
Explanation: Best-first-search is giving the idea of optimization and quick choose of path, and all these characteristic lies in A* algorithm.
19. When will Hill-Climbing algorithm terminate?
A. Stopping criterion met
B. Global Min/Max is achieved
C. No neighbor has higher value
D. All of the above
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: When no neighbor is having higher value, algorithm terminates fetching local min/max.
20. Is optimality and completeness exist in bidirectional search algorithm?
A. Yes, Yes
