| 1 | The algorithm may arrive at the wrong one , and miss the true goal with maximum worth . |
| 2 | Then the algorithm may opt for a particular child C on the basis of the gradient of f at N , but the gradient is misleading and in fact f ( C ) is much less then f(N) . |
| 3 | Even if an algorithm embodied knowledge that perhaps the training set should be transformed to polar coordinates , still the algorithm would have to search a 2-dimensional continuum of possible centres . |
| 4 | Thus , the algorithm would backtrack to one of the apparently cheaper paths and extend that one . |
| 5 | Even if the estimated cost of a branch costing .1 was .0999999 , the algorithm would backtrack , exploring the search space breadth-first . |
| 6 | The cost of the path would increase to as a word from this region was incorporated , and the algorithm would backtrack to one of the apparently better extensions where the cost was . |
| 7 | When all paths have the same cost associated with them , equal cost will be synonymous with equal depth and the algorithm will perform breadth-first . |
| 8 | When we wish to retrieve a synonym , the algorithm will give an ‘ incorrect ’ address . |
| 9 | Provided the correct path does in fact score markedly better than other paths , the algorithm will return the correct solution without exploring the entire search tree . |
| 10 | In some cases the algorithm will spread the addresses evenly over the allocated storage area , and in the ideal case will have an equal probability of generating any address within that area ; in other cases the existing key order can be used to improve the efficiency of record storage . |
| 11 | Under these conditions , however good the heuristic estimate , the algorithm will keep abandoning paths that fail to live up to their initial promise in favour of untried paths that are promising a little more than they will deliver ( Pearl 1984 ) . |
| 12 | Whenever the cost of such a path increases , the algorithm will backtrack to a better looking node . |
| 13 | Equal cost will start to look like equal depth ( i.e. breadth-first search ) and the algorithm will explore a broad band of hypotheses . |
| 14 | If there are too many hypotheses with the same or very similar scores , and the cost of the path increases with its length then the algorithm will explore the search space on a broad front , regardless of the accuracy of the estimate . |
| 15 | If the algorithm can detect a short path to a goal , and always choose the N from OPEN which is on this path , then it will be efficient . |
| 16 | We will call this backwards pruning because , at the point where more than one path has the same successor , the algorithm can look back the way it has come , and mark or retain only the highest scoring path . |
| 17 | These algorithms are most suited to tasks with small branching ratios and reversible operators , and with simple states so that the algorithm can remember several states at a time . |
| 18 | Time enough and soon enough to greet them in the morning 's light when the men would have said their prayers and the womenfolk would have been to Mass and a stranger with a fiddle might be a welcome diversion from the day 's chores . |
| 19 | Generally , the tag will contain information about the item such as … |
| 20 | The promoters hope the tag will cut queues . |
| 21 | It did n't seem likely that the porter would turn out to be co-operative . |
| 22 | Charles moved back so that the porter could put down a tray with tea things on it . |
| 23 | The activities would demand collaborative work , role allocation and sharing . |
| 24 | With South African Rugby in the dock the Council for the Defence would point to the record of the Springboks . |
| 25 | Unfortunately , the prosecution failed to disclose that the complainant had a spent conviction for theft , and it was held that , had the conviction been duly disclosed , the defence would have applied for and would undoubtedly have been granted leave to cross-examine the complainant about it . |
| 26 | The defence would have this effect where first , the plaintiff 's action is directly connected with the joint illegal enterprise and not merely incidental to it . |
| 27 | Crown counsel said the defence would question the admissibility of statements allegedly made to police but it was the prosecution case that the attack had been carried out on behalf of the IRA . |
| 28 | If it comes to be feared that the defence might make procedural capital from such inconsistencies , which is out of all proportion to their factual significance , a tendency might develop to iron out inconsistencies regarded as minor or marginal , thus weakening the re-investigation process . |
| 29 | Contrast this with the position in jurisdictions where there are three or more degrees of homicide : pleas of guilty to first- and second-degree murders would be less frequent , since there would be the possibility of argument in court ( if no bargain was struck beforehand between prosecution and defence ) , and the defence might succeed in persuading the jury to reduce the degree of the killing . |
| 30 | According to the evidence at the trial , only Zaidie bore witness to the defendant 's telephoned confession , but the defence might have promoted a viable theory of conspiracy if they had been able to show that Matadial had also testified to a confession , then resiled from it in her deposition , taken the offensive again in her addendum and finally opted for a female voice in her evidence . |
