Computer Go Fundamentals and Applications

Computer The subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) known as "Go" is focused on the development of a computer program that is able to play the ancient board game "Go." The study of this topic can be broken down into two distinct time periods. Prior to the year 2015, the programs of the era were not very strong. The best artificial intelligences generated in the 1980s and 1990s were only able to be defeated by novice players, while the best AIs produced in the early 2000s were at best of an intermediate level. Even with a handicap of more than ten stones in their advantage, experts are still able to win against sophisticated computer programs. Because there were too many branching options to examine, many of the algorithms, such as alpha-beta minimax, that worked well as artificial intelligences for checkers and chess failed miserably when applied to the 19×19 board used in go. It was impossible to create a human professional quality program with the techniques and hardware available at the time. Some scholars working in the field of artificial intelligence hypothesized that the issue could not be resolved without the development of human-like AI.

Computer Games As Landscape Art


Free Download Computer Games As Landscape Art
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031376331 | 293 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 64 MB
This book proposes that computer games are the paradigmatic form of contemporary landscape and offers a synthesis of art history, geography, game studies and play. Like paint on canvas, the game engine is taken as the underlying medium, and using the Valve Source Engine as the primary case study, it analyses landscapes according to the technical, economic and cultural features this medium affords. It presents the single-player first-person shooter (Half-Life 2) as a Promethean safari, examines how the economics of gambling and product placement shaped the eSports landscapes of Counter-Strike and reveals how sandboxes such as Garry’s Mod visualise the radical landscape of Web 2.0. This book explores how our relationship to the environment is changing, how we express this through computer games and how we can move beyond examining artistic influences on games to examining how historical connections flow through games and the history of landscape images.

Analog and Hybrid Computer Programming (de Gruyter Textbook)


Free Download Analog and Hybrid Computer Programming (de Gruyter Textbook) by Bernd Ulmann
English | May 22, 2023 | ISBN: 3110787598 | 335 pages | MOBI | 19 Mb
As classic digital computers are about to reach their physical and architectural boundaries, interest in unconventional approaches to computing, such as quantum and analog computers, is rapidly increasing. For a wide variety of practical applications, analog computers can outperform classic digital computers in terms of both raw computational speed and energy efficiency. This makes them ideally suited a co-processors to digital computers, thus forming hybrid computers.

Image processing is a ubiquitous technology these days, used in just about every feature of smartphone cameras, in video games, social media apps, graphics software, and much more. Computer vision is the field of science that makes it possible for computers to not just capture images, but to process, analyze, and understand digital images. In this course, Eduardo CorpeƱo shows you how to use Python to write image processing operations of your own from scratch, to get a deeper understanding of the under-the-hood operations of image processing and popular tools like OpenCV. Eduardo shows you how to tap into the details of the algorithms behind image processing so you can understand what’s going on inside and make better use of these tools in the future. He also provides programming challenges so you can create your own implementations and compare your work with his solutions.
