An evaluation function, also known as heuristic evaluation function or static evaluation function by game-playing programs to estimate the value or goodness of a position in the minimax algorithm. The evaluation function is typically designed to be fast and accuracy is not a concern (therefore heuristic); the function looks only at the current position and does not explore possible moves (therefore static).
One popular strategy for constructing evaluation functions is as a weighted sum of various factors that are thought to influence the value of a position. For instance, an evaluation function for chess might take the form
c1 * material + c2 * mobility + c3 * king safety + c4 * center control + ...
The Evaluation Group is responsible for the independent evaluationfunction of UNIDO in support to lesson learning and accountability.
Evaluation is an assessment, as systematic and impartial as possible of a project, a programme or a theme.
Independent evaluation provides evidence-based information that is credible, reliable and useful, enabling the timely incorporation of findings, recommendations and lessons learned into the decision-making processes at corporate, programme and project level.
Evaluations are a key management tool used to support the decision-making, accountability and learning in the secretariat of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
The evaluationfunction enables the International Federation to measure the outcomes and impact of its programmes and operations, learn from experience, take informed decisions, and account for its actions, thereby improving its capacity to fulfill the mission to improve the lives of vulnerable people.
