Episode 8: Informed Search Strategies | Greedy Best-First & A* Explained

In this episode, we explore Informed Search Strategies in Artificial Intelligence, focusing on Greedy Best-First Search, the A* Algorithm, admissibility, consistency, pruning, and memory-bounded variants like IDA* and RBFS. This is part of our AI lecture series based on NPTEL’s “Artificial Intelligence: Concepts and Techniques” by Prof. V. Susheela Devi. ✨ What you’ll learn in this video: What is informed search? Greedy best-first search with examples The famous A* algorithm: why it’s powerful Admissible and consistent heuristics Pruning in A* Memory-bounded heuristic searches: IDA* and…
