How does the game work? How did you make a brain? How many games of 20Q have been played to date? How old was 20Q when it got its first job? Does 20Q interact with the player? So how does this 20Q device work? The short answer is "artificial intelligence. In , Canadian inventor Robin Burgener programmed a neural network a specialized form of computer program capable of playing 20 Questions, but without a library of knowledge about common objects. He proceeded to teach it twenty questions about the object "cat," then handed the program on floppy disk to friends and encouraged them to play, recording their play sessions as it went.
For 20Q, playing equals learning, as it develops "synaptic connections" whenever it receives answers to questions. It's able to reinforce connections by playing games over and over with different people, gradually learning which answers are correct and which aren't.
In the electronic versions of the game, a computer asks the questions and guesses the answer, usually correctly. The computer does this using a type of technology called artificial intelligence, which, very simply, gives it the ability to think like a human. How does the game 20Q work? How many items does 20Q data have? The answer to my question was an iPhone.
It guessed PDA, like a palm pilot which considering how much time has passed since I bought it and the iPhone was just about to be introduced into the market or was just released, I was amazed at how close it s guess was. One of the coolest gadgets ever! Does anyone know if an updated version, as in a 20Q 2. Your email address will not be published.
