چکیده

This paper introduces MIDI-Connect4, a program that composes music from the unfolding of a board game called Connect4. The system uses evolutionary computation to evolve from scratch a neural network that plays the Connect4 game. Music is produced when a user plays the game against the system. The system generates music by associating the moves of each player with musical forms.

Player co-modelling in a strategy board game: discovering how to play fast

In this paper we experiment with a 2-player strategy board game where playing models are evolved using reinforcement learning and neural networks. The models are evolved to speed up automatic game development based on human involvement at varying levels of sophistication and density when compared to fully autonomous playing. The experimental results suggest a clear and measurable association be...

GOjen: tdGo Temporal Difference Learning of Go Playing Artificial Neural Networks

The original project description has been: An existing Java application handling and visualizing Go games between human and computer players (including trained and evolved ANNs) should be improved and extended with Go playing ANNs trained by temporal difference learning. This extension should serve as a basis for comparisons of td learning with conventional ANN training and evolutionary methods...

Evolving neural networks to play checkers without relying on expert knowledge

An experiment was conducted where neural networks compete for survival in an evolving population based on their ability to play checkers. More specifically, multilayer feedforward neural networks were used to evaluate alternative board positions and games were played using a minimax search strategy. At each generation, the extant neural networks were paired in competitions and selection was use...

Evolutionary swarm neural network game engine for Capture Go

Evaluation of the current board position is critical in computer game engines. In sufficiently complex games, such a task is too difficult for a traditional brute force search to accomplish, even when combined with expert knowledge bases. This motivates the investigation of alternatives. This paper investigates the combination of neural networks, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and evolution...

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...
