In this paper, we propose algorithms to extract explicit concepts from general games and these concepts are useful to understand semantics of games using General Game Playing as a research domain. General Game Playing is a research domain to invent game players which are able to play general games without any human intervention. There are many approaches to General Game Playing, for example, UC...

In this paper we examine the application of temporal difference methods in learning a linear state value function approximation in a game of give-away checkers. Empirical results show that the TD(λ) algorithm can be successfully used to improve playing policy quality in this domain. Training games with strong and random opponents were considered. Results show that learning only on negative game...

Popular abstract-The article proposes that the theories of grounded cognition and embodiment can be utilized in explaining the role-playing experience. Embodied cognition theories assume that cognition is not only a feature of the brain, but the body as a whole and it is interaction with the environment it operates in. Grounded cognition...

1. The point of game tree search is to insulate oneself from errors in the evaluation function. The standard approach is to grow a full width tree as deep as time allows, and then value the tree as if the leaf evaluations were exact. This has been eeective in many games because of the computational eeciency of the alpha-beta algorithm. Our approach is to form a Bayesian model of our uncertainty...
