These are my (semi) daily logs for my project. You can find my project summary pagehere

October 25

Did some additional research that is more focused on what I want to do, finding research on AI and machine learning as applied to strategy games. Most of them pertain to chess, in a non-brute force method.

October 26

Read up on some research conducted yesterday, An interesting article regarding believable AI in games found (VS actually intelligent AI). Talked about giving AI human-like limitation. Got me thinking about whether it would be possible to train a learning AI about a game merely by giving it large amounts of replay data from games and letting it reason strategies and tactics by matching already seen environments. This is counter to letting the AI actually play out the game. Perhaps I'm just talking about training data and not relizing it.

Continued reading new research, comparitivly I'm finding the chess based readings a little dry.
