This is the first part of'A Brief History of Game AI Up to AlphaGo'. Part 2 is here and part 3 is here. In this part, we shall cover the birth of AI and the very first game-playing AI programs to run on digital computers. On March 9th of 2016, a historic milestone for AI was reached when the Google-engineered program AlphaGo defeated the world-class Go champion Lee Sedol. Go is a two-player strategy board game like Chess, but the larger number of possible moves and difficulty of evaluation make Go the harder problem for AI.

This is the second part of'A Brief History of Game AI Up to AlphaGo'. Part 1 is here and part 3 is here. In this part, we shall cover just about four decades of progress, from the first victories of computers against people at Checkers and Chess all the way up to DeepBlue's victory against humanity's then-best living Chess player. By the late 1950s, the industrious engineers at IBM were far from the only ones working on AI -- excitement for the new field filled research groups in universities from the US to the Soviet Union. One such group was made up of Allen Newell and Herbert Simon (both attendants of the Dartmouth Conference) from Carnegie Mellon University, and Cliff Shaw from RAND Corporation. They collaborated on Chess AI from 1955 to 1958, culminating in "Chess Playing Programs and the Problem of Complexity"1 which both summarized existing Chess AI research and contributed new ideas that they tested with the NSS (Newell, Shaw, and Simon) Chess program. Just as Shannon noted that master players use intuition to think selectively about moves, Newell, Shaw and Simon considered heuristics to be an important aspect of human Chess-playing.

Facebook has unveiled DeepText, a deep learning-based text comprehension engine that uses neural networks to understand the context of posts in over 20 languages. DeepText uses several deep learning neural network architectures, as well as its artificial intelligence (AI) backbone FBLearner Flow and the Torch open source machine learning library, to perform word-level and character-based learning. The system can understand slang and make sense of potentially ambiguous phrases. For example, if a Facebook user posts the phrase'I like apple' DeepText can work out whether it refers to the fruit or Apple. Facebook had to go beyond normal neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques with DeepText, as the extensive pre-processing logic built on top of intricate software engineering and language knowledge is ineffective at picking up variations in languages and spelling when people post on the same topic.

In this capstone project, you will leverage what you've learned throughout the Nanodegree program to solve a problem of your choice by applying machine learning algorithms and techniques. You will first define the problem you want to solve and investigate potential solutions and performance metrics. Next, you will analyze the problem through visualizations and data exploration to have a better understanding of what algorithms and features are appropriate for solving it. You will then implement your algorithms and metrics of choice, documenting the preprocessing, refinement, and postprocessing steps along the way. Afterwards, you will collect results about the performance of the models used, visualize significant quantities, and validate/justify these values.

Machine learning means computer algorithms for learning how to do things. There aren't many machine learning technologies that may learn in this kind of environment apart from hardware-based neural network learning systems. Machine learning algorithms get a much better possibility of being widely adopted if they're implemented in some easy-to-use code. In addition, the book will offer useful material for machine learning researchers searching for interesting application difficulties. It also needs to open the door to numerous new sorts of devices and technologies.

As a High School student Carlton had been withdrawn and quiet, unsocial and uninvolved. One of his teachers had been convinced that he was using drugs because he was so pale and tired. In reality, he had been up late into the night, designing, building and refining his electrically independent computer. He drew his own blood for it, leading to symptoms of anemia. His prototype was, in retrospect, an archaic fossil as soon as it was operational, but he won a National competition with it.

In my last blog, I spoke about the magnitude of damage P2P fraud can cause to the organization and the need to address the problem with a different mindset with a more data driven approach. While traditional approaches help in uncovering some gaps, they suffer from some inherent shortcomings as discussed in one of our earlier posts . Some of these shortcomings are high false positives, inability to uncover newer anomalies and recognize patterns in large datasets, not learning from feedback. We have seen significant upside potential through use of data analytics and machine learning in fraud detection.

In my last blog, I spoke about the magnitude of damage P2P fraud can cause to the organization and the need to address the problem with a different mindset with a more data driven approach. As is conceivable, some of these could be due to human errors and others with an intent to deceive. While traditional approaches help in uncovering some gaps, they suffer from some inherent shortcomings as discussed in one of our earlier posts . Some of these shortcomings are high false positives, inability to uncover newer anomalies and recognize patterns in large datasets, not learning from feedback.
