Risto Miikkulainen [!! love that name !!] did some fun stuff having a GA-evolved neural net learn to play Othello. it learned the rules of the game, not just strategy (actually it learned them both simultaneously)...
But to use ID3 or GA/NN for this kind of problem, one uses a different tree or network for each game one teaches it.... there is no generalization of knowledge from one game to the next And of course, such algorithms are too crude to achieve real mastery of any of these games ben > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Joseph S Rubenfeld > Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 11:05 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [agi] AI is a trivial problem > > > This has been tried for chess with very limited success. > Quinlin, a PhD student of Donald Michie in England, > now I believe a professor in Sydney Australia > developed the ID3 algorithm and tested it on learning chess. > > ======================================== > > On Sat, 11 Jan 2003 22:34:01 -0500 "Ben Goertzel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > writes: > > > My personal litmus test is whether an AGI can learn and play > > high-level > > > chess, go, bridge, or other similar games without being coded > > specifically > > > for these games.
