KPK Endgame Databases: A Response from the Source

Partial Information Endgame Databases

Endgame databases have previously been built based on complete analysis of endgame positions. In the domain of Checkers, where endgame databases consisting of 39 trillion positions have already been built, it would be beneficial to be able to build select portions of even larger databases, without fully computing portions of the database that will almost never be needed. We present a new win-lo...

New results for Domineering from combinatorial game theory endgame databases

We have constructed endgame databases for all single-component positions up to 15 squares for Domineering. These databases have been filled with exact Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) values in canonical form. We give an overview of several interesting types and frequencies of CGT values occurring in the databases. The most important findings are as follows. First, as an extension of Conway’s [8...

Constructing Pin Endgame Databases for the Backgammon Variant Plakoto

Palamedes is an ongoing project for building expert playing bots that can play backgammon variants. Until recently the position evaluation relied only on self-trained neural networks. This paper describes the first attempt to augment Palamedes by constructing databases for certain endgame positions for the backgammon variant of Plakoto. The result is 5 databases containing 12,480,720 records in...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
