Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese game of Go is of interest both as a problem in mathematical representation and as a game which generates a move tree with an extraordinarily high branching factor (100 to 300 branches per ply). The complexity of Go (and the difficulty of Go for human players) is thought to be considerably greater than that of chess. The constraints of being able to play a complete game and of being able to produce a move with a moderate amount of processing time were placed on the solution. The basic approach used was to find methods for isolating and exploring several sorts of relevant subsections of the global game tree. This process depended heavily on the ability to define and manipulate entitles of Go as recursive functions rather than as patterns of stones. A general machine-accessible theory of Go was developed to provide context for program evaluations. A program for playing Go is now available on the Stanford PDP-10 computer.

Download or read book Chips Challenging Champions written by J. Schaeffer and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2002-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest dreams of the fledgling field of artificial intelligence (AI) was to build computer programs that could play games as well as or better than the best human players. Despite early optimism in the field, the challenge proved to be surprisingly difficult. However, the 1990s saw amazing progress. Computers are now better than humans in checkers, Othello and Scrabble; are at least as good as the best humans in backgammon and chess; and are rapidly improving at hex, go, poker, and shogi. This book documents the progress made in computers playing games and puzzles. The book is the definitive source for material of high-performance game-playing programs.
Download or read book Computers Chess and Cognition written by T. Anthony Marsland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers, Chess, and Cognition presents an excellent up-to-date description of developments in computer chess, a rapidly advancing area in artificial intelligence research. This book is intended for an upper undergraduate and above level audience in the computer science (artificial intelligence) community. The chapters have been edited to present a uniform terminology and balanced writing style, to make the material understandable to a wider, less specialized audience. The book's primary strengths are the description of the workings of some major chess programs, an excellent review of tree searching methods, discussion of exciting new research ideas, a philosophical discussion of the relationship of computer game playing to artificial intelligence, and the treatment of computer Go as an important new research area. A complete index and extensive bibliography makes the book a valuable reference work. The book includes a special foreword by Ken Thompson, author of the UNIX operating system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern-Directed Inference Systems provides a description of the design and implementation of pattern-directed inference systems (PDIS) for various applications. The book also addresses the theoretical significance of PDIS for artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. The book is divided into eight sections. The introduction provides a brief overview of pattern-directed inference systems, including a historical perspective, a review of basic concepts, and a survey of work in this area. Subsequent chapters address topics on architecture and design, methods for accessing and controlling rule based systems, methods for obtaining adaptive behavior via rule-based systems and cognitive modeling. Constructing models of human information processing, natural language understanding and multilevel systems and complexity are described as well. The last section discusses the earlier chapters in the book and provides a unifying set of principles for the PDIS formalism. Computer scientists, psychologists, engineers, and researchers in artificial intelligence will find the book very informative.
