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 lesson covers one of the commonly used optimization algorithms in AI – the Hill Climbing Algorithm. This lesson 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.
