algorithms with no pseudocode

[omar-3]

There are many algorithms in the book haven't a written pseudocode (stochastic hill climbing - local beam and its variants - ... ) . It would be beneficial, if they are to be implemented I guess ... should someone implementing them follow their understanding and surely add adequate tests and so on IF there are no "reliable" papers on these algorithms?

I believe it would be great to have these algorithms, yeah. But the implementations should be bare-bones and quite simple, no complex algorithms. And there should be a note in the implementation that the code has no corresponding pseudocode. Maybe add the source.

So, sure, this would be an interesting project.

I would like to contribute to this project in the python module if it were to be initiated.

Hi @saraansh1999, welcome!

If you want to get started with this, I suggest you can simply find an algorithm from the book with no pseudocode and implement it here :)

I would like to work on this.

This is an open-ended umbrella (implement book algorithms that lack pseudocode() entries — stochastic hill climbing, local beam search, variants, …). To make it actionable it should be split into one concrete good-first-issue per algorithm with a clear spec. Leaving open as a tracking issue; individual algorithm additions can reference it.
