PART B — (5 × 13 = 65 marks)

  1. 11.
    (a)

    Explain iterative deepening search algorithm with an example.

  2. Or
  3. (b)

    Discuss in detail about hill climbing algorithm by using 8-queens problem.

  4. 12.
    (a)

    Demonstrate the use of Bayes' rule with an example in a doctor finding the probability P (disease / symptoms) before and after the decease becomes epidemic.

  5. Or
  6. (b)

    Briefly explain about how the sustainability of enumeration algorithm can be improved.

  7. 13.

PART C — (1 × 15 = 15 marks)

  1. 16.
    (a)

    Consider the statement "Stocks rallied on Monday, with major indexes gaining 1% as optimism persisted over the first quarter earnings season". Taken from a news article. Design a naive Bayes model to classify the statement into appropriate category.

  2. Or
  3. (b)

    Construct a training dataset. By using it, demonstrate the AdaBoost algorithm that makes an ensemble classifier.
