Book Description
Games have long been excellent benchmarks for AI algorithms for two reasons. Initially, games are developed to assess and challenge human intelligence, and the variety of games can provide a rich context for evaluating different cognitive and decision-making abilities. Secondly, addressing complex real-world challenges often requires repeated trial and error, which can be very costly. Games offer a low-cost or even zero-cost platform for validating various algorithms and solutions by simulating or emulating real-world scenarios. Algorithms initially developed for gaming are subsequently applied to various real-world problems, generating social benefits across all aspects of life. This Special Issue, entitled "Algorithms for Game AI", explores new and innovative approaches for addressing challenges in game AI. These approaches range from traditional algorithms like planning and searching to modern algorithms such as deep reinforcement learning. The papers in this Special Issue address both the theoretical and practical challenges of the application of these algorithms. This reprint presents eleven papers covering a wide range of game AI topics, including the quantification of non-transitivity in chess, the expressiveness of level generators in Super Mario Bros, Mahjong as a new game AI benchmark, new MARL algorithms to reduce Q-value bias, surveys of various AI algorithms in cyber defense, energy areas and games, the application of MCTS in Amazons, the application of deep reinforcement learning in autonomous vehicle driving, and the application of transformers in both offline RL and imitation learning.

The AI Ladder
AI may be the greatest opportunity of our time, with the potential to add nearly $16 trillion to the global economy over the next decade. But so far adoption has been much slower than anticipated. With this practical report, business leaders will discover where they are in their AI journey and learn the steps they still need to take to implement an
Algorithms
Algorithms are the lifeblood of computer science. They are the machines that proofs build and the music that programs play. Their history is as old as mathematics itself. This book is a wide-ranging, idiosyncratic treatise on the design and analysis of algorithms, covering several fundamental techniques, with an emphasis on intuition and the proble
Clever Algorithms
This book provides a handbook of algorithmic recipes from the fields of Metaheuristics, Biologically Inspired Computation and Computational Intelligence that have been described in a complete, consistent, and centralized manner. These standardized descriptions were carefully designed to be accessible, usable, and understandable. Most of the algorit
AI for Mass-Scale Code Refactoring and Analysis
As the software development landscape evolves, the challenge of managing and refactoring extensive code bases becomes increasingly complex. AI methods of code refactoring, while effective for smaller scales, can falter under the weight of mass-scale operations. The need for efficiency, accuracy, and consistency is more critical than ever. This key
Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures, 3rd Edition
The study of algorithms and data structures is central to understanding what computer science is all about. Learning computer science is not unlike learning any other type of difficult subject matter. The only way to be successful is through deliberate and incremental exposure to the fundamental ideas. A beginning computer scientist needs practice
