Game developers aim to create board game software agents which are intelligent, adaptive and responsive. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development and simulation of an active target detector with GEM foil readout

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Elisabeth Rickert; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : At CERN, radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u can be pro- duced by a newly commissioned post-accelerator, HIE-ISOLDE, which expands the possibilities for nuclear reaction studies. To investigate the collision properties of the ion beam with a target, an active gas–target detector is under development by the Reactions Group at the Nuclear Physics Division in Lund. READ MORE

  4. 3. Deep reinforcement learning compared with Q-table learning applied to backgammon

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Peter Finnman; Max Winberg; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Reinforcement learning attempts to mimic how humans react to their surrounding environment by giving feedback to software agents based on the actions they take. To test the capabilities of these agents, researches have long regarded board games as a powerful tool. READ MORE

  5. 4. Aesthetic Details and Player Behavior : a study on how the colors of checkers in backgammon affect players’ choices of action

    Abstract : Board gaming has to a large degree, been studied based on historical sources. Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. READ MORE
