Heuristic (/hjʉˈrɪstɨk/;
Greek:
"Εὑρίσκω", "find" or "discover") refers to
experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery that
finds a solution which is not guaranteed to be optimal, but good enough for a
given set of goals. Where the exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic
methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution via
mental shortcuts to ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of
this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess,
an intuitive judgment, stereotyping, or common
sense. More precisely, heuristics
are strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information
to control problem solving in human beings and machines.
