چکیده

Video games continue to grow in importance as a platform for Artificial Intelligence (AI) research since they offer a rich virtual environment without the noise present in the real world. In this paper, a simulated ship combat game is used as an environment for evolving neural network controlled ship combat strategies. Domain knowledge is used as input to the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) through scripts that run in parallel and feed their decisions to the ANNs. The ANNs then interpret these scripts and decide what strategy to perform. The results are compared to ANNs that have no such knowledge and tested to see how well the ANNs generalise. 12

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks

Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...

A Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network

Abstract   Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...

Neuroevolution for RTS Micro

This paper uses neuroevolution of augmenting topologies to evolve control tactics for groups of units in realtime strategy games. In such games, players build economies to generate armies composed of multiple types of units with different attack and movement characteristics to combat each other. This paper evolves neural networks to control movement and attack commands, also called micro, for a...

An artificial intelligence model based on LS-SVM for third-party logistics provider ‎selection

The use of third-party logistics (3PL) providers is regarded as new strategy in logistics management. The relationships by considering 3PL are sometimes more complicated than any classical logistics supplier relationships. These relationships have taken into account as a well-known way to highlight organizations' flexibilities to regard rapidly uncertain market conditions, follow core competenc...
