Description
Search Algorithms and Optimization techniques are the engines of most Artificial Intelligence techniques and Data Science. There is no doubt that Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing are the most well-regarded and widely used AI search techniques.

A lot of scientists and practitioners use search and optimization algorithms without understanding their internal structure. However, understanding the internal structure and mechanism of such AI problem-solving techniques will allow them to solve problems more efficiently. This also allows them to tune, tweak, and even design new algorithms for different projects.

This course is the easiest way to understand how Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing work in detail. An in-depth understanding of these two algorithms and mastering them puts you ahead of a lot of data scientists. You will potentially have a higher chance of joining a small pool of well-paid AI experts.

Why learn optimization algorithms as a Data Scientist?

Optimization is getting popular in all industries every single month with the main purpose of improving revenue and decreasing costs. Optimization algorithms are extremely practical AI techniques in different projects. You can use them to automate and optimize the process of solving challenging tasks.

What does anyone need to learn about optimization?

The first thing you need to learn is the mathematical models behind them. You cannot believe how easy and intuitive the mathematical models and equations are. This course starts with intuitive examples to take you through the most fundamental mathematical models of all both Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing. There is no equation in this course without an in-depth explanation and visual examples. If you hate math, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the videos to learn the math behind Neural Networks with minimum efforts.

It is also important to know what types of problems can be solved with AI optimization algorithms. This course shows different types of problems as well. There will be several examples to practice how to solve such problems as well.

What does this course cover?

As discussed above, this course starts straight up with an intuitive example to see what a Hill Climbing is as one of the most fundamental AI problem-solving approaches. After learning how easy and simple the inspiration and algorithms of Hill Climbing are, you will see how it performs in action live.

The second part of this course covers terminologies in the field of AI Optimization. In the third part, we will work with you on the process of designing Simulated Annealing using Hill Climbing. In the first three parts of this course, you master how the inspiration, theory, mathematical models, and algorithms of both Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing algorithms.

In the last part of the course, we will implement both algorithms and apply them to some problems including a wide range of test functions and Travelling Salesman Problems.

By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing and able to easily use them in your project. You can analyze, tune, and improve the performance of both techniques based on your project too.

Does this course suit you?

This course is an introduction to optimization and search in AI, so you need absolutely no prior knowledge in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or data science. However, you need to have a basic understanding of programming preferably in Matlab to easily follow the coding video. If you just want to learn the mathematical model and the problem-solving process using the two algorithms, you can then skip the coding videos.
