Heuristic
A principle or aid, adapted to solving problems of some given type. Colloquially, a heuristic is a "rule of thumb". In Go, many proverbs serve as heuristics. Heuristics should not be considered hard and fast rules, just as we are advised "Don't follow proverbs blindly". This term is much used in Artificial Intelligence software programming to mean guidelines used when an exact solution is unavailable. This is a copy of the living page "Heuristic" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
