🎓 What I Learned

📊 AI Algorithms & Search Techniques

In the algorithm-implementation section, I implemented and analyzed various search and decision-making algorithms:

• Uninformed Search Algorithms:

  • Breadth-First Search (BFS) for complete, optimal path finding
  • Depth-First Search (DFS) for memory-efficient exploration
  • Depth-Limited Search (DLS) for controlled depth exploration
  • Iterative Deepening Search (IDS) combining BFS optimality with DFS efficiency
  • Bidirectional Search for faster path finding by meeting in the middle

• Informed Search Algorithms:

  • Best-First Search using heuristic evaluation
  • A* Search balancing path cost and heuristic estimation
  • Beam Search for memory-constrained heuristic search
  • Hill Climbing for local optimization problems

• Adversarial Search:

  • Minimax Algorithm for perfect play in zero-sum games
  • Alpha-Beta Pruning for efficient minimax computation

• AND/OR Graphs:

  • AO* Algorithm for solving problems with multiple solution paths

🎮 AI in Games

The ai-games section showcases practical applications of AI algorithms in interactive games:

• Chess: Implementation of Minimax with Alpha-Beta Pruning for strategic decision making
