Common Hour - Friday, March 12, 2027 Friday, March 12, 2027 - 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Using Evolutionary Computing to Explore Strategies in Tabletop WargamesThomas SarachanAssistant Professor of Computer ScienceComputer science is very good at building "players" of games with no randomness, such as chess and checkers. However, the programming techniques that make a great computer chess player do not work as well when the results of a move depend on how dice fall. This presentation shows how evolutionary computing, a mix of computer science and biology, can be used to distinguish good and bad strategies in a game where every move is subject to chance.Join virtually via Zoom Meeting: Use this Zoom link for all Common Hour events.https://wilson.zoom.us/j/95215627508Meeting ID: 952 1562 7508More information on Common Hour here.
