Optimization Using Artificial Intelligence: Hill Climbing Algorithm

Optimization is a crucial topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Getting an expected result using AI is a challenging task. However, getting an optimized result is more complicated. This course covers one of the commonly used optimization algorithms in AI – the Hill Climbing Algorithm. Optimization Using Artificial Intelligence: Hill Climbing Algorithm course will help you understand the problem space. Then convert it into a state-space landscape so that you can think mathematically model the problem space. Finally, it will guide you throughout the implementation process.

Prerequisite / Requirement:

This is an advanced-level course, and thus it requires the following prerequisites:

1. Basic understanding of object-oriented programming language,
2. Familiarity with Python programming language,
3. Knowledge of AI Search algorithms,
4. Knowledge of Linear Algebra.

Course Benefits: 

After completing this course, you will have substantial knowledge of the working principle of the Hill-Climbing algorithm. You will also be able to apply it in optimizing real-world solutions. Apart from the theoretical concept, this lesson will help you build confidence to model real-world problems using object-oriented programming. Also, you will be able to apply the idea of AI in optimizing solutions. In a nutshell, after completing this lesson, you will have the following:

1. Understanding the concept of the Hill-Climbing algorithm,
2. Ability to convert a problem space into the state-space landscape,
3. Understanding the domain of object and cost function,
4. Specifying optimization goal based on the function nature, 
5. Finally, the ability to think in code and implement the concept using object-oriented programming.
