Chess2vec: Learning Vector Representations for Chess
Chess2vec: Learning Vector Representations for Chess Berk Kapicioglu Ramiz Iqbal∗ Tarik Koc OccamzRazor MD Anderson Cancer Center OccamzRazor [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Louis Nicolas Andre Katharina Sophia Volz OccamzRazor OccamzRazor [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We conduct the first study of its kind to generate and evaluate vector representations for chess pieces. In particular, we uncover the latent structure of chess pieces and moves, as well as predict chess moves from chess positions. We share preliminary results which anticipate our ongoing work on a neural network architecture that learns these embeddings directly from supervised feedback. 1 Introduction In the last couple of years, advances in machine learning have yielded dramatic improvements in tasks as diverse as visual object classification [9], automatic speech recognition [7], machine translation [18], and natural language processing (NLP) [12]. A common thread among all these tasks is, as diverse as they may seem, they all involve processing input data, such as image, audio, and text, that have not traditionally been amenable to feature engineering. Modern machine learning methods that enabled these breakthroughs did so partly because they shifted the burden away from feature engineering, which is difficult for humans and requires domain expertise, towards designing models that automatically infer feature representations that are relevant for downstream tasks [1]. In this paper, we are interested in learning and studying feature representations of chess positions and pieces. Our work is inspired by how learning vector representation of words [12, 13], also known as word embeddings, yielded improvements in tasks such as syntactic parsing [16] and sentiment analysis [17].

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESI Bernard v. Burke, Chainnan George c. Hoffma~ ~ This thesis contends from the time of September 1940 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States and Japan offered each no workable concessions that might have deterred war. A stalemate was finnly established between the two countries. The position ,of the Japanese nation was to expand and control "Greater East-Asia," while the position the United States held was one that claimed all nations should uphold certain basic principles of democracy, that all nations should honor the sanctity of treaties," and that they should treat neighboring countries in a friendly fashion.
