Learning

Learning,
the process of acquiring new knowledge which involves synthesizing different types of information. Machine learning as aspect of computer chess programming deals with algorithms that allow the program to change its behavior based on data, which for instance occurs during game playing against a variety of opponents considering the final outcome and/or the game record for instance as history score chart indexed by ply. Related to Machine learning is evolutionary computation and its sub-areas of genetic algorithms, and genetic programming, that mimics the process of natural evolution, as further mentioned in automated tuning. The process of learning often implies understanding, perception or reasoning. So called Rote learning avoids understanding and focuses on memorization. Inductive learning takes examples and generalizes rather than starting with existing knowledge. Deductive learning takes abstract concepts to make sense of examples .

Learning inside a Chess Program

Learning inside a chess program may address several disjoint issues. A persistent hash table remembers "important" positions from earlier games inside the search with its exact score . Worse positions may be avoided in advance. Learning opening book moves, that is appending successful novelties or modify the probability of already stored moves from the book based on the outcome of a game . Another application is learning evaluation weights of various features, f. i. piece- or piece-square values or mobility. Programs may also learn to control search or time usage .

Learning Paradigms

There are three major learning paradigms, each corresponding to a particular abstract learning task. These are supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Usually any given type of neural network architecture can be employed in any of those tasks.

Supervised Learning

Supervised learning is learning from examples provided by a knowledgable external supervisor. In machine learning, supervised learning is a technique for deducing a function from training data. The training data consist of pairs of input objects and desired outputs, f.i. in computer chess a sequence of positions associated with the outcome of a game .

Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised machine learning seems much harder: the goal is to have the computer learn how to do something that we don't tell it how to do. The learner is given only unlabeled examples, f. i. a sequence of positions of a running game but the final result (still) unknown. A form of reinforcement learning can be used for unsupervised learning, where an agent bases its actions on the previous rewards and punishments without necessarily even learning any information about the exact ways that its actions affect the world. Clustering is another method of unsupervised learning.

Reinforcement Learning

see main page Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning is defined not by characterizing learning methods, but by characterizing a learning problem. Reinforcement learning is learning what to do - how to map situations to actions - so as to maximize a numerical reward signal. The learner is not told which actions to take, as in most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover which actions yield the most reward by trying them. The reinforcement learning problem is deeply indebted to the idea of Markov decision processes (MDPs) from the field of optimal control.
