AIND Term 1: Week 6

Classroom

  • Watch the lesson on Simulated Annealing
    • This lesson introduces techniques for local search & gradient-free optimization (which are gaining renewed popularity in Deep Learning)
  • Complete the Simulated Annealing notebook (Optional)

Reading

  • read AIMA Chapter 4.1-4.3; skim AIMA Chapter 4.4-4.5
  • Add Derivative Free Optimization to your bookshelf for later reading. It's not required for this course, but it adds additional context to the utility of beam search, simulated annealing, evolutionary algorithms by discussing the broader topic of derivative free optimization.
