What two components make up the common AI design pattern described for scoring functions?

Question: In one to three sentences, name and briefly describe the two components of the AI design pattern involving scoring functions.

Sample answer: The pattern consists of (1) an approximate scoring function, Score_x(.), that estimates how good a candidate output is for a given input, and (2) an approximate maximization algorithm that searches for the output maximizing that score.

Key points:

  • Approximate scoring function estimates output quality
  • Approximate maximization algorithm searches for the best-scoring output

Rubric: Full credit for naming both the scoring function and the maximization/search algorithm and briefly describing each role.
