Lecture 12

Question 1

Since most games involve having two participants (be they “players” or “enemies” within the game’s context), what can be done when there are less users of a program than participants?

Answer 1

Clearly, part of the program itself must fulfill the role of participant.

Question 2

The definition of AI –the capability of a machine/software to imitate intelligent human behaviors.

Answer 2

General Intelligence (e.g., deduction, reasoning, problem solving, natural language processing)
Expert Systems (e.g., diagnosis systems)
Perception (e.g., computer vision)
Social Intelligence (e.g., affective computing)

Question 3

AI vs Machine Learning

Answer 3

Artificial intelligence –Creating an algorithm based directly on our own thought processes regarding a problem.
Machine learning – uses mathematical modeling + statistics to (hopefully) enable the computer to learn from data and draw its own conclusions.
