Constructive heuristics - Probabilistic approach and adaptive search

5 important questions on Constructive heuristics - Probabilistic approach and adaptive search

What is probabilistic dispatching?

The priority of a variable determines its probability to be selected.

What is the regret factor?

The regret factor is the absolute difference between the priority of a job and the worst priority of all jobs.

The bigger the factor the more regret you have.

In adaptive search what is C and how do you calculate?

The normalizing constant
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

In adaptive search what is the bias factor, include an important observation in your explanation.

A given constant. The higher alpha the higher the weight of the regret factor.

alpha = 0 | Random sampling
alpha = inf | Deterministic selection

Use adaptive search probabilistic dispatching to give priority to the following

When alpha = 2 C = 34

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
