A friend suggested that I do programming in C++ instead of JAVA as for optimization, C++ is better than JAVA. Since he has been in the arena for quite sometime, why not follow an expert's advice huh. At least it would save me some time later, had I encounter problem with JAVA in the future. Moreover, my supervisor is well verse in C++ and he has been doing lots of programming in C++. I can surely count on him later.
As for reading, I'm currently on a thick 1080 pages of book on 'Artificial Intelligence a Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. I think it's a good book as it has been referenced in most of the papers that I read. I'm still on the topic of uninformed Search. What is uninformed search? As the name suggests, there is no information about the states beyond that provided in the problem definition (no information from the current state to the goal) Other name for it - blind search. In malay, 'cari buta tuli la ni'... Some methods for uninformed search include breadth-first search, depth-first search, depth-limited search and so on. Usually, uniformed search takes longer time to find especially if the data is so big. Well, I don't know how far it's true as I have not tested it yet. I have yet to find algorithm for Simulated Annealing which is an informed search. I found a java applet that is looking into the Travelling Salesman Problem. Informed search is supposed to be a smart search as it has some knowledge about the goal. Opps, can understand or not on what I'm talking about? Well, this is part of a life of a researcher. As I dig and dig, I found something new. Dig and dig, reminds me of the Utah miners. Don't know whether they are already dead or not, but 3 of the rescue workers are confirmed dead already while trying to rescue them! What a pity...
