I wanted to respond to two types of comments that have appeared more than once. I read all the comments and really appreciate when you all dig deep into these topics. First, we're missing some matchboxes because we don't actually need them! Some matchboxes work for two scenarios -- once for the board position they display, and also for the board position that is a mirror image of it. The computer learns both board positions at the same time, but yes, at first glance it appears as though I just left some out. Martin Gardner didn't think they were necessary, either. Second, Hexapawn is a much simpler version of chess, so terms like "checkmate" and "stalemate" aren't exactly the same. They're simpler, too. In chess, checkmate is achieved when there is no way for your opponent to move without the king being captured. A stalemate occurs when a player has no legal move. A stalemate results in a draw. So, when that occurs in Hexapawn, it has the trappings of a stalemate but has the result and the spirit of a checkmate -- the win is awarded to the player who moves in a way that creates a stalemate for their opponent. Because the situation results in a win instead of a draw, I thought it was more appropriate to compare it to checkmate, though it may have been clearer to avoid the language of "checkmate" entirely.

I thought about this as well. Technically I don't see why it wouldn't work the same way as Hexapawn, but in reality it would be impossible. Hexapawn has 3 pieces per player and is guaranteed to end after at most 7 moves, so you only need 24 boxes for the 24 possible scenarios. In Chess, on the other hand, you have over 100 million possibilities after just 6 moves. The "matchboxes" for this computer for all scenarios would need an impossible amount of storage.

TheEverydayWizard it wouldn’t be hard to extrapolate this idea into what machine learning is used for today. Imagine if Kevin himself is a machine that can play thousands of games a second, a much more complicated “game” could be solved by the machine very quickly. Although usually it’s not a game, it’s something like recognizing whether a picture contains nudity or not.

TheEverydayWizard you’re right, this oversimplifies how machine learning works, but it’s a a pretty good introduction. You would need some pretty advanced programming understanding to comprehend how it is being used in more advanced systems. But the basic idea is essentially the same: a program “evolves” by keeping what parts of it get rewarded, and removing which parts of it are punished.

The first computer game I ever played was Hexapawn, it was one of the applications that came with some IBM business computer in the late 70's. At that time, that a game could learn and improve was amazing. Especially to someone that didn't understand anything about game theory. I've done way more complex things since then of course, but I still have a fondness for Hexapawn.

With tic tac toe, if you go first you will always win or tie unless you make a mistake. The game will result in 3 outcomes. You win early because they make a mistake, you win because there are 2 lines to block with one move which they obviously can't block both to, and a tie due to them also knowing the game and blocking one of those potential win paths early on in the game, limiting you to the first scenario, or a tie..

With tic tact toe, you can tie, Hexapawn does not have a tie state..

Thank you so so much! It's almost like YT knew that I made hundreds of Google searches about genetic algorithms and symbolic learning, and is now suggesting me this amazing explanation! You made this seemingly endlessly complicated subject seem simple, for which I am very thankful!

Nostalgia! Back in high school (mid-1970s), I wrote a Hexapawn program. I modified it so that the board size could be made anywhere from 3x3 to 8x8 and it would remember all the results for each size board.

You could really optimize this with a MCTS approach, where it basically functions the same, but it deterministically exploits what it perceives to be the best move, while also exploring other strategies.

This was a fantastic tutorial on "What is Reinforcement Learning?" Next time someone asks me to explain this concept I'm sending them to this video.

But tic tac toe is way more simplistic. Anyone with half a brain cell could easily become good enough so that every game ends in a tie- even against the smartest computer.

true, but it's also a game you are much more familiar with and computer's progress can really be seen

Really like this way of explaining how computers and genetic evolution work. Now you'll be happy to hear I have an extra "watch one of these videos" bead in my brain box!

Great way to explain Markov decision process

There's a great life lesson in this video. Our failures may be painful, but that leads us to success much faster.
