Suppose you have run k-means using k=2 and k=5. You find that the cost function J is much higher for k=5 than k=2. What can you conclude? O a. In the run with k=5, k-means got stuck in a bad local minimum. You should try re-running k-means with multiple random initializations. O b. The ideal number of clusters is k=2. O c. In the run with k=2, k-means got lucky. You should try re-running k-means with k=2 and different random initializations until it performs no better than with k=5. O d. This is mathematically impossible. There must be a bug in the code.

We mentioned that if we want to prove P ≠ NP, we only need to pick up any one NPC problem and prove that polynomial-time algorithm does not exist for the problem. If you want to prove P ≠ NP, select one NPC problem based on your preference and describe your idea of why polynomial-time algorithm does not exist for the problem. It does not have to be a formal proof, a description of your idea would be fine.
Consider the doctor-patient problem. There is a Doctor's clinic which has one Doctor, one patient chair, and n chairs for waiting for patients if there are any to sit on the chair. If there is no patient, then the Doctor sleeps in his own chair. When a patient arrives, he has to wake up the Doctor. If there are many patients and the Doctor is treating a patient, then the remaining patients either wait if there are empty chairs in the waiting room or they leave if no chairs are empty. Write a solution (Algorithm / Pseudocode) using semaphores.
We wish to build the simplest possible automaton for L = {xcx: x is in (a+b)*}. Note there are two copies of x separated by a special center symbol 'c', e.g., "baacbaa". What is the simplest automaton for deciding L? A. We can decide L using only an NFA. B. We can decide L using a deterministic PDA. C. We need at least a nondeterministic PDA for deciding L. D. We need at least a Turing machine for deciding L.
We know that if the heuristic function in A* is good enough, then A* can always find a shortest weighted path between two vertices, and is generally much faster than Dijkstra. Assume we are using a graph where a good heuristic function is well defined for A*, such that A* can always find the same shortest paths as Dijkstra. Briefly explain when you should choose Dijkstra over A* in this case.
All businesses want to keep their customers happy. To do that, many companies assign a certain amount of time to each customer to optimize the business. The alternative would be to hire more employees, which would lead to higher costs. This problem requires you to simulate how authorities optimize the number of cashiers at the entrance of a toll bridge to make sure drivers are satisfied. Make the following assumptions: There is one cashier per line. The line works as a queue with no cars cutting the line or leaving it. One car arrives at the entrance every 10 seconds. It takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) to process the payment, starting from the moment a cashier is available. Assume there is no pause between cars. Written in java, Your Tasks: Design class CarInLine, with the following specifications: The class has two instance variables: arrivalTime and DepartureTime, stored as integers. Define a constructor that accepts an integer as an argument representing the arrival time, in…
3. Suppose that we want to know which agents are connected by a walk of length two in a given network. That is, want to know the set of ordered pairs (i, j) such that there exists a walk of length 2 between any i and j. Define n as the number of nodes and m as the number of links. (a) One way to do this is to input the adjacency matrix A, calculate A², then output all pairs (i, j) for which A(i) > 0. Defining scalar multiplication and addition as "basic operations," up to a constant c, how many "basic operations" are required to calculate A², in terms of n and m? (Hint: First think about how many operations are required to calculate each entry of A², then multiply by the number of entries.) (b) Suppose that we want to know the number of agents who are connected by a walk of length k in a given network, where k≥ 1. Up to a constant, how many basic operations are required to calculate Ak, in terms of n and m? (c) (Harder) We showed in class (Lecture 4) that a simple adaptation of…
