  • Spooneye.Pdf
    • • SPOONEYE! First dpcumented as "Thirt y-Fours" in a 1571 British list of injunctions, the modern form of the game developed aboard pirate ships sailing in rhe Caribbean in the late 17th centuty. The game's most nOlOrious enthusiast was none other than the rllthless pirate Spooneye, who had a spoon in the place of a lost hand due to a fo ndness for soups, :iIld who, owing to ext reme myopia in one eye (the right, it is believed), would often cover the bad eye with his spoon-hand in order to focus. During the infamous double mutiny fad of the 1690s, (itself immortalized in the gaIlle, as weI! as numernus ballads,) Spooneye learned of Thirty­ Fours from the crew fo rmerly belonging to his mortal enemy, the nefarious Danish privateer Weirdbeard. Legend has it that the most powerful card in the game, the Nine, or 'Spooneye', originated when Spooneye was engaged in a �ame with his ship's new cook (name unknown). Fnlstrated at his own poor performance, Spoon eye played a Nine-his favorite card, due to the rcsemulance-and then grabbed one of the cook's cards and placed it on his side of the table. Justifiably angty, the cook argued that rhis was not part of the rules: in rhe origi nal Thirty-fours, Nines grant no special privilege. Spooneye, in response, leaped out of his chair and gouged out the unfortunate cook's left eye with his mighty spoon-hand. Most accounts suggesr thar the cook was keelhauled after the game; some (possibly apoctyphal) accounts suggest that it was this cook who later became the despised buccaneer Disheye.

  • Solving an Esoteric Card Game with Reinforcement Learning
    Solving an Esoteric Card Game with Reinforcement Learning Andrew S. Dallas Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305 A learning strategy was developed to learn optimal policies for the card game Somerset and to develop a prediction of what score to expect given an initial hand. Somerset is a trick- taking, imperfect information game similar to the game Euchre. The state and action space of the game is intractably large, so an approximation to the state and action space is used. A Q- learning algorithm is used to learn the policies and impact of using eligibility traces on the learning algorithm’s performance is examined. The learning algorithm showed moderate improvement over a random strategy, and the learned Q-values revealed predictions that could be made on the final score based on the opening deal. I. Introduction Somerset is a four-player, trick-taking card game similar to Euchre. The game has a variety of decisions that must be made with imperfect information. This work aims to find an ideal decision-making strategy for the game that can be used to inform and estimate how a player might perform once the cards have been dealt. The rules to the game will be described here briefly to provide context for the methodology employed, and a more detailed set of rules can be found in Ref. [1]. Somerset is played with a custom deck of cards. Instead of traditional suits of hearts and spades, there are numerical suits of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. There are n+1 cards of each numerical suit n with unique numerator non-negative integers up to the suit value denominator.

  • Reutilización De Ontologías En Un Dominio Restringido
    Reutilización de ontologías en un dominio restringido Enrique P. Latorres Universidad ORT del Uruguay Montevideo, URUGUAY, 11000 [email protected] [email protected] Resumen Se plantea un conjunto de hipótesis para la validez de la reutilización de conocimiento. Si los sistemas del futuro deberán estar basados en la reutilización eficiente del conocimiento, esto será posible sólo si efectivamente representan una ventaja contra los sistemas actuales. Así la construcción de nuevo conocimiento a partir de una base de conocimiento de dominios similares debería ayudar a construir nuevas instancias de conocimiento sin grandes esfuerzos y el nivel de reutilización podría ser mejor que simplemente partir de un modelo similar particular. Además la creación de conocimiento muchas veces está basado en la visión operacional del dominio y las sub- clases generalmente son diseñadas de forma algo descuidada o se implementan lo necesario para la infraestructura de lo que se trata de implementar. Esto implica que conocimiento tácito del dominio puede ser implementado de diversas formas y que eventualmente no sea integrado en forma efectiva, debido a visiones divergentes en el diseño de diversas ontologías. Sin embargo comparados estos diseños, algunos de los elementos conceptualizables de conocimiento podrían ser extraídos de la base de conocimiento al identificar patrones que se repiten. Una vez reconocidos podrían ser explícitamente conceptualizados para que sean reutilizados por los expertos del dominio. El experimento trata estos casos en un ejemplo y se presentan los resultados obtenidos. Este trabajo muestra resultados de una experiencia donde se mide la similitud y reutilización de componentes semánticos entre varias ontologías, las cuales están relacionadas por dominios similares.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York. - Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, BY DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.
