Application Of Retrograde Analysis To Fighting Games, Kristen Yu
Application Of Retrograde Analysis To Fighting Games, Kristen Yu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the advent of the fighting game AI competition, there has been recent interest in two-player fighting games. Monte-Carlo Tree-Search approaches currently dominate the competition, but it is unclear if this is the best approach for all fighting games. In this thesis we study the design of two-player fighting games and the consequences of the game design on the types of AI that should be used for playing the game, as well as formally define the state space that fighting games are based on. Additionally, we also characterize how AI can solve the game given a simultaneous action game model, …
Rnn-Based Generation Of Polyphonic Music And Jazz Improvisation, Andrew Hannum
Rnn-Based Generation Of Polyphonic Music And Jazz Improvisation, Andrew Hannum
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper presents techniques developed for algorithmic composition of both polyphonic music, and of simulated jazz improvisation, using multiple novel data sources and the character-based recurrent neural network architecture char-rnn. In addition, techniques and tooling are presented aimed at using the results of the algorithmic composition to create exercises for musical pedagogy.
