The Society of Shogi - A research agenda
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I will present my ideas about how to implement Marvin Minsky’s Society of Mind theory in a game-playing domain, specifically shogi (Japanese chess). The following concepts play an important role in Minsky’s theory: Agents, K-lines, nemes and nomes, frames, difference-engines, censors and suppressors, A-brains and B-brains, connection lines, types of learning and mental managers. In this paper, ideas are presented about how to link these concepts to concepts in shogi. To make a Society of Shogi, three important agencies must be implemented: a recognition agency, a lookahead agency and a learning agency. Ideas for implementing these three types of agencies are also presented.

Chess, Shogi, Go, Natural Developments in Game Research
In game programming research there are four interesting and related domains: chess, xiang qi (Chinese chess), shogi (Japanese chess) and go. In this article we will compare chess with shogi, both comparing the rules and the computational aspects of both games. We will see that chess and shogi are very similar, but that there are some important di erences that complicate game programming for sho...
متن کاملComputer shogi
This paper describes the current state of the art in computer shogi. Shogi (Japanese chess) promises to be a good vehicle for future research into game-playing programs that are based on tree-searching paradigms. This paper shows where chess and shogi are similar, and details the important areas that make shogi programming of particular interest. A crucial difference is the game-tree complexity...
متن کاملA Survey of Tsume-Shogi Programs Using Variable-Depth Search
Recently, a number of programs have been developed that successfully apply variable-depth search to find solutions for mating problems in Japanese chess, called tsume shogi. Publications on this research domain have been written mainly in Japanese. To present the findings of this research to a wider audience, we compare six different tsume programs. To find the solutions of difficult tsume-shog...
متن کاملChanges in Cognitive Processes upon Learning Mini-Shogi
In this research, we investigated cognitive processes while playing Mini-Shogi through fMRI and cognitive experiments. Mini-Shogi is a Japanese chess-like game that uses a small board. In our cognitive experiment, the group of stronger Mini-Shogi players the stronger group’s total thinking time shortened and their total number of eye movements decreased. However, our investigation of search dep...
متن کاملPattern Recognition for Candidate Generation in the Game of Shogi
Chess has been an important research area in Arti cial Intelligence for decades. It seems that the strongest programs will soon play better than the best experts, so it is time to look at other game domains as possible test domains for AI research. We feel that shogi is well suited for this, because it is similar to chess, yet signi cantly different. In this paper we give the main differences b...
