Exploring The Effect Of Different Numbers Of Convolutional Filters And Training Loops On The Performance Of Alphazero, Jared Prince
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In this work, the algorithm used by AlphaZero is adapted for dots and boxes, a two-player game. This algorithm is explored using different numbers of convolutional filters and training loops, in order to better understand the effect these parameters have on the learning of the player. Different board sizes are also tested to compare these parameters in relation to game complexity. AlphaZero originated as a Go player using an algorithm which combines Monte Carlo tree search and convolutional neural networks. This novel approach, integrating a reinforcement learning method previously applied to Go (MCTS) with a supervised learning method (neural networks) …

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Because Western Kentucky University does not maintain a back-up system for its departments, the Computer Science Department has implemented its own. Using Bacula software on a Unix server, files from faculty desktop computers and servers are backed up to a tape drive on a daily basis. The server is protected from outside threats with a carefully configured firewall script. This paper explains how both the firewall and the back-up software were implemented and how successful that implementation has been.
