It says from: Ingo Lindam I interpret this as you stating that letting it learn the search is a joke because it can't even trust its own evaluation yet, therefore it is already a too big of a challenge to do.... ...but then the rest of the lines is not parsable by me. Yes what exactly? You jump from 'result' to 'current position' in an unexplainable way. How is this possible? Which formula gives you from the result of a game the 'current' position where evaluation has to be modified for? I'm missing a major step there which no AI dude so far managed to convert into 0 and 1, or in short a concrete working algorithm within say 10^10 calculations. >Ofcourse the machine >could also adapt the evaluation on the basis of some features of the searchtree, >as the chances for the opoonent to make mistakes or the number of features >occure in parts of the search tree don't fit to the abilities of the opponet, >... This dangerous step i'll skip as we never got here in the first place by normal logics as no one managed to write an actual working ConcludeWhereIsProblemFromGameResult() function :) >I just would claim the machine not to change everything in evaluation just on >basis of the search tree. Now this statement made sense the first time i read it, but i know many will disagree. Most will say that the search tree is a result from the evaluation and they are right. It's only evaluation that matters in the end. Searching is a pretty simple thing compared to evaluation. The shape of the search tree T using a search method M is only influenced by evaluation E applied to it. There fore it is: M(E) = T >If the machine calculates to long within search space >it might occur that it throws away everything it ever learned about chess >before, claiming "now I got the real view onto chess and chess strategies, I >stop trusting all the old masters from now on, I don't trust my trainer anymore, >I don't trust my programmer anymore, it's me that has the only right and >ultimative view onto chess, don't stop me now... I am just reinventing chess..." The first line made sense to me, but then i lose you. It would make more sense when the 'posted by' was Rolf... I would therefore swear you went out whole evening and came back at 7 AM or something home then at 8:38 you posted this statement :) >Such appearance of chess machine insane might be a very interesting experience >of computer conscience (?)... but I would prefer happening it under control and >not in a tournament... Although, it might make computer chess a record breaking >TV attraction... It is really interesting how from some crap statements of Uri you can finish in the last sentence with 'record breaking'. In any way i would award you doctor title in AI for free, because within a few lines you exactly write down what i would expect from someone who wishes to get doctor in AI to write down in his thesis ;) >Internette Gruesse, >Ingo
