In your own words describe the 'knapsack problem'. Further, compare and contrast the use of brute force and a dynamic programming algorithm to solve this problem in terms of the advantage and disadvantages of each. An analysis of the asymptotic complexity of each is required as part of this assignment. Please include your references as this would be checked.

The principles of PDDL are being applied to an imaginary setting that goes by the moniker JUNGLE. There are three predicates in this universe, and each one may take a maximum of four arguments. There are also five constants. It is important to restrict the amount of states that may exist on the JUNGLE planet. It is necessary to provide justification.

State the Difference between the Machine Dependent and In-Dependent Optimization, bydiscussing the Rules that are adopt for the Replacement. And also discuss the Operator StrengthReduction.
3. Based on number of conflicts, error handling and detection, and number of states, argue CLR(1) is the most powerful Bottom Up Parser (BUP). For each criteria, give proper reasoning.
Exercise 2. Here is a classic geometric problem, in the same application domain as the Center Selection problem: Given n points with Cartesian coordinates (₁, 3) in the plane, and positive weights w, find one(!) point (x, y) that minimizes the weighted sum of the Euclidean distances to the given points. For formal clarity: We want to minimize n Σwi i-1 n •√(x- i-1 (x − x)² + (y - y₁)². This problem is at least not very easy to solve exactly. In the following we therefore propose a rough but rather quick and simple approximation algorithm: Instead of the Euclidean distance, take the Manhattan distance and minimize 1 w₁(x − x₂|+|y-yil). 2.1. Explain how the point that minimizes the weigthed sum of Manhattan distances can be found in polynonial time. That is: Sketch an algorithm, argue why it is correct, and explain your time bound. Try to keep the time bound as low as possible. 2.2. Show that this algorithm has an approximation ratio √2. More specifi- cally: The point found by the…

For problem sets that are given over purely nominal feature sets, classification methods based on vector spaces are not always the best solution. I'm curious as to how strongly you agree or disagree with this statement. If you were doing ML classification on nominal data, which approach would you use? Provide detailed explanations for your answers to the two questions posed.
By contrasting it with the longest-common-subsequence problem, create a dynamic programming approach for the bigger-is-smarter elephant problem. To accomplish this, the LCS issue must be expanded to include letter weights.
Why do we prefer using dynamic programming in certain scenarios? To support your assertion, provide evidence.
Consider the effect that the proliferation of personal computers and the Internet have had on the design of computer systems to put this into perspective. Make sure that your claims are supported with proof, if that is at all feasible.
Please explain Why do computer scientists typically rely on ’worse-case’ analysis? Group of answer choices a. It allows us to be more conservative and when using the upper-bounds in terms of time complexity. This is a 'safer' way for us to determine if the performance is fast enough. b. No other analysis exist or have been invented yet. c. Most of the famous computer scientists use worse-case analysis, so every one just copies what they have done previously.
