Interestingly, programmers have reacted to this law of diminishing returns to faster processing by reintroducing heuristics into the computer's algorithm. Grandmaster Joel Benjamin spent a year "training" Deep Blue for its match with Kasparov. What did Benjamin do? He helped the programmers refine Deep Blue's evaluation function to incorporate human "feeling" about how good a position is and he helped Deep Blue zone in on the kinds of moves a human grandmaster would intuitively leap to analyze. Of course, Deep Blue relies primarily on brute force, and it is still very much an open question what the optimal...
...Deep Blue's victory and what it portends for the sorry fate of modern man. The work of our hands has conquered us, they will say; our own successes will yet come back to haunt and destroy us. Human genius will be eulogized as nothing more than a complicated algorithm that was waiting to be decoded...
...cheat detector program, which was written a few years ago by graduate student Trevor L. Blackwell, uses a well-known pattern-matching procedure called the Rabin-Karp algorithm to generate the similarity scores, according to Shelat...
Harvard students who are counting on Datamatch's algorithm to bring them true love may be pleasantly surprised by the outcomes...
This year's version of Datamatch is a collaboration between the Council and HCS. The Council wrote the questions for the Datamatch, while HCS created a Datamatch web site and provided the algorithm for determining the matches, Shah said...
