The evolutionary turn in game theory
In a conference bar a few years ago, I was talking with an economist who specializes in applications of game theory. I mentioned that I was interested in the conceptual problems associated with the assumption that players have common knowledge of their rationality. H is reaction was surprise that anyone still thought seriously about that issue at all. With something like the embarrassment with ...
متن کاملBeyond Cultural History? The Material Turn, Praxiography, and Body History
The body came to be taken seriously as a topic of cultural history during the “corporeal” or “bodily” turn in the 1980s and 1990s. Soon, however, critique was raised against these studies’ conceptualization of the body as discursively shaped and socially disciplined: individual bodily agency and feeling were felt to be absent in the idea of the material body. This article critically analyzes ne...
متن کاملAnalogical Learning in a Turn-Based Strategy Game
A key problem in playing strategy games is learning how to allocate resources effectively. This can be a difficult task for machine learning when the connections between actions and goal outputs are indirect and complex. We show how a combination of structural analogy, experimentation, and qualitative modeling can be used to improve performance in optimizing food production in a strategy game. ...
متن کاملVisualizing Strategy in a Turn-Based Strategy Game
In this paper we describe several visualization techniques for depicting strategy in a turn-based video game called Advance Wars. We propose one main method, influence mapping, and describe its implementation. Influence mapping allows a player to view the battlefield from a bird’s eye view and to instantly extrapolate key strategic conclusions from this visualization. This technique enables nov...
متن کاملBoosting Material Modeling Using Game Tree Search
Composition optimization of material is common and costly problem. To avoid redundant measurements, it is effective to expect unknown result by considering previous results. However, the expectation is frequently wrong due to unexpected characteristics inside real materials and it causes local optimum trap. This study presents game tree search can escape from local optimum by limiting the spati...
