Solve design, planning, and control problems using modern AI techniques.
Optimization problems are everywhere in daily life. What’s the fastest route from one place to another? How do you calculate the optimal price for a product? How should you plant crops, allocate resources, and schedule surgeries?
Optimization Algorithms introduces the AI algorithms that can solve these complex and poorly-structured problems.
In
Optimization Algorithms: AI techniques for design, planning, and control problems you will learn:
- The core concepts of search and optimization
- Deterministic and stochastic optimization techniques
- Graph search algorithms
