Satisficing Search - Yousef's Notes
Satisficing Search

Satisficing Search

  • Solutions that are suboptimal but “good enough”
  • Weighted A* Search
    • f(n) = g(n) + W x h(n) , W > 1
    • W is usecase-dependent
  • Behaves partly like Greedy Best-First Search, but will still consider other paths
  • Solution will be up to W times worse than the optimal (e.g. for roads is common to use 1.3, thus solutions can be 30% worse)
