Exploring Backtracking and Heuristics

Backtracking in computational methods, what is?

• All possible solutions simultaneously trying, a method of solving problems is.

• Incrementally building towards a solution, a process is. Abandon partial success when the solution can't be completed, you must. Going back to a previous successful match, you do.

• Optimise algorithms by reducing the number of calculations, a technique used is.

• Visualising data to identify patterns, a method is.

Benefit from backtracking, which type of problems can?

• Arithmetic problems

• Logic problems, especially those involving paths or route finding

• Statistical problems

• Problems involving large datasets

An example of a problem, solved using backtracking, what is?

• Calculating the average of a dataset

• Solving a maze

• Predicting stock market trends

• Sorting a list of numbers

Not a standard computation skill, which of the following is?

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Heuristics

• Visualisation

The primary goal of data mining, what is?

• Create new data, to

• Extract useful information from large datasets, to

• Visualise data in a graphical format, to

• Encrypt data for security purposes, to

In computational methods, a heuristic, what is?

• A guaranteed method to find the optimal solution

• A technique to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution

• A method to ensure data integrity

• A process of visualising data
