AI Researchers, Video Games Are Your Friends!
If you are an artificial intelligence researcher, you should look to video
games as ideal testbeds for the work you do. If you are a video game developer,
you should look to AI for the technology that makes completely new types of
games possible. This chapter lays out the case for both of these propositions.
It asks the question "what can video games do for AI", and discusses how in
particular general video game playing is the ideal testbed for artificial
general intelligence research. It then asks the question "what can AI do for
video games", and lays out a vision for what video games might look like if we
had significantly more advanced AI at our disposal. The chapter is based on my
keynote at IJCCI 2015, and is written in an attempt to be accessible to a broad
audience.Comment: in Studies in Computational Intelligence Studies in Computational

GM-Net: Learning Features with More Efficiency
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are capable of learning
unprecedentedly effective features from images. Some researchers have struggled
to enhance the parameters' efficiency using grouped convolution. However, the
relation between the optimal number of convolutional groups and the recognition
performance remains an open problem. In this paper, we propose a series of
Basic Units (BUs) and a two-level merging strategy to construct deep CNNs,
referred to as a joint Grouped Merging Net (GM-Net), which can produce joint
grouped and reused deep features while maintaining the feature discriminability
for classification tasks. Our GM-Net architectures with the proposed BU_A
(dense connection) and BU_B (straight mapping) lead to significant reduction in
the number of network parameters and obtain performance improvement in image
classification tasks. Extensive experiments are conducted to validate the
superior performance of the GM-Net than the state-of-the-arts on the benchmark
datasets, e.g., MNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and SVHN.Comment: 6 Pages, 5 figure
