Evolution of Heuristics for Give-Away Checkers

The efficacy of two evolutionary approaches to the problem of generation of heuristical linear and non-linear evaluation functions in the game of give-away checkers is tested in the paper. Experimental results show that both tested methods lead to heuristics of reasonable quality and evolutionary algorithms can be successfully applied to heuristic generation in case not enough expert knowledge ...

Don’t Give Yourself Away: Cooperation Revisited

In the future, sensor-equipped environments will be able to detect, interpret and anticipate our intentions and feelings. While on one hand this allows more natural interaction between humans and human activity supporting intelligent environments, on the other hand it allows these environments to collect more information about the user than he or she finds desirable for a satisfactory interacti...

Temporal Difference Approach to Playing Give-Away Checkers

In this paper we examine the application of temporal difference methods in learning a linear state value function approximation in a game of give-away checkers. Empirical results show that the TD(λ) algorithm can be successfully used to improve playing policy quality in this domain. Training games with strong and random opponents were considered. Results show that learning only on negative game...

“The Slave-Girl Will Give Birth to Her Master” as Understood via “Temple Symbolism”

The so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) used the hadith mentioning that “the slave-girl will give birth to her master” to justify its renewal of sexual slavery. This hadith is talking about signs before the end of the world, so it could be interpreted by the same Temple theology technique that has been used in the biblical book of Revelation, which is also about the end of the world. “...
