There was a guy named Kasparov who thought the same thing about chess playing computers. Yeah but, there were people, real live humans, reprogramming those specially designed computers after each match. Kasparov didn't get beaten by a computer he got beaten by a league of mathematicians. What the programmers did was use previous match data to bolster areas where Deep Blue made "iffy" decisions - similar to the way chess masters go over previous engagements they were involved in and their opponents to determine tendencies on their own part and their opponents. What ****ed Kasparov off was that Deep Blue got creative in one match which caused him to cry foul because he didn't think that a computer could come up with a winning counter to one of his probes. There is an absoutely fascinating book on the Kasparov/Deep Blue chess matches by Monty Newborn titled "Computer chess comes of age - Kasparov vs Deep Blue". *I don't know if it's still in print, but your library should be able to get it. *If not, I have it and would be glad to lend it to you. It didn't get "creative". *If you put all the same data back into the same computer it would give you the same result. *Everytime. *And you could follow the decision tree that lead to that result if you were so inclined. That the program results were unanticipated doesn't make them "creative".- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Exactly! Zeros and ones, baby! |
