Beam Search: Fundamentals and Applications
About this ebook
In the field of computer science, beam search refers to a heuristic search technique that investigates a graph by extending the node that appears to have the greatest potential among a restricted group. The memory requirements of best-first search can be reduced with the use of an optimization called beam search. The best-first search is a type of graph search that arranges all of the partial solutions (states) in some order determined by a heuristic. However, in beam search, only a certain number of the best partial solutions are maintained as candidates. This number is specified in advance. This means that the algorithm is greedy.
