KTM is now offering this system in its recently debuted 1290 Super Adventure, as well as the 1190 Adventure and Adventure R. Technically, the MSC system is based on a Bosch ABS, plus an electronic composite brake function. When the rider applies the front or back brake, the system automatically applies the second brake, ensuring that the “best possible” braking force is applied to each wheel. An additional lean- angle sensor measures the actual lean of the motorcycle, allowing the system to instantaneously adjust its electronic braking and acceleration interventions to suit the current :25/'&/$66 riding status. 6863(16,21 Your complimentary Motorcycle Trader 2015 Year Planner is ROAD SPORTS SCOOTER included with this issue.

    A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI IN GAMES, VOL. 4, NO. 1, MARCH 2012 1 A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods Cameron Browne, Member, IEEE, Edward Powley, Member, IEEE, Daniel Whitehouse, Member, IEEE, Simon Lucas, Senior Member, IEEE, Peter I. Cowling, Member, IEEE, Philipp Rohlfshagen, Stephen Tavener, Diego Perez, Spyridon Samothrakis and Simon Colton Abstract—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a recently proposed search method that combines the precision of tree search with the generality of random sampling. It has received considerable interest due to its spectacular success in the difficult problem of computer Go, but has also proved beneficial in a range of other domains. This paper is a survey of the literature to date, intended to provide a snapshot of the state of the art after the first five years of MCTS research. We outline the core algorithm’s derivation, impart some structure on the many variations and enhancements that have been proposed, and summarise the results from the key game and non-game domains to which MCTS methods have been applied. A number of open research questions indicate that the field is ripe for future work. Index Terms—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), Upper Confidence Bounds (UCB), Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (UCT), Bandit-based methods, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Game search, Computer Go. F 1 INTRODUCTION ONTE Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a method for M finding optimal decisions in a given domain by taking random samples in the decision space and build- ing a search tree according to the results. It has already had a profound impact on Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches for domains that can be represented as trees of sequential decisions, particularly games and planning problems.

    Elegance in Game Design

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI IN GAMES, VOL. 4, NO. 2, JUNE 2012 1 Elegance in Game Design Cameron Browne, Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper explores notions of elegance and shibui in combinatorial game design, and describes simple computational models for their estimation. Elegance is related to a game’s simplicity, clarity and efficiency, while shibui is a more complex concept from Japanese aesthetics that also incorporates depth. These provide new metrics for quantifying and categorising games that are largely independent of existing measurements such as tractability and quality. Relevant ideas from Western and Eastern aesthetics are introduced, the meaning of elegance and shibui in combinatorial games examined, and methods for estimating these values empirically derived from complexity analyses. Elegance and shibui scores are calculated for a number of example games, for comparison. Preliminary results indicate shibui estimates to be more reliable than elegance estimates. Index Terms—Game design, Computational aesthetics, Elegance, Shibui, Combinatorial game, Game complexity.

    Go Teaching Zero * Teaching with stones * * Teaching with words * Content of this Guide Whatever our level, experience and interest for teaching, we all learn a bit from others and we all teach a bit from time to time, for example when we comment a few moves played in a game... Here, the general goal of this guide is to spread best practices of Go pedagogy to every player, and in particular to confirmed players who are interested in Go pedagogy, whatever it is for occasional teaching or as (amateur) teachers. Because it deals about teaching in general, this guide title contains « Zero » (referring to the Artificial Intelligence “AlphaGoZero” which has become very strong by “quantitative self- practice”) and is a follow up of the guide about Go initiation. Of course many principles of Go teaching apply both for the first steps as well as for advanced play. The first part deals with “silent pedagogy” - which is about playing to teach (not to win). This technique of teaching is nowadays rather unknown and documentation is spare, but is however a very natural and powerful way to transmit knowledge in an entertaining way. The second part deals with teaching techniques and presentation in a more formal way. 1/15 Table of Contents A.
