The symphonic suite Scheherazade (1888) attracts attention not only because of the beauty or oriental exoticism Rimsky-Korsakov’s music. This programmatic musical narrative about a female narrator sparks imagination itself. Moreover, subject matter this extraordinary work is primarily power creative fantasy and equally ability fiction to shape both human character reality All more surprising su...

We demonstrate combat scenarios between two NPCs in the Neverwinter Nights (NWN) game in which an NPC uses a new learning algorithm ALeRT (Action-dependent Learning Rates with Trends) and the other NPC uses a static strategy (NWN default and optimal) or a dynamic strategy (dynamic scripting). We implemented the ALeRT algorithm in NWScript, a scripting language used by NWN, with the goal to impr...

Our goal is to provide learning mechanisms to game agents so they are capable of adapting to new behaviors based on the actions of other agents. We introduce a new on-line reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm, ALeRT-AM, that includes an agent-modeling mechanism. We implemented this algorithm in BioWare Corp.’s role-playing game, Neverwinter Nights to evaluate its effectiveness in a real game. ...

In this paper we exploit the possibilities offered by MPEG-4, through XMT-A and XMT-O, by implementing an Impress extension that translates an electronic presentation to XMT-O, so to be finally compiled for MPEG-4 conversion. We have implemented this conversion tool and in this paper we describe our implementation and analyze its results. Key-Words: Data Compression, MPEG, Impress.

Abstract The following is an edited transcript of the opening plenary session Institute for World Literature in July 2020 – held online as a result Covid-19. In this conversation with IWL ’s director and associate director, Orhan Pamuk discusses his understanding world literature place it, ongoing work on novel Nights Plague , then nearing completion.
