The guys at Microsoft Research announced a very exciting competition: the silicon minds challenge. The goal of the competition is to foster novel ideas in the area of game AI.

Many years ago I wrote a computer game called De Profundis where I was in charge (among other things) of the game AI. Moving on to become an AI researcher it is interesting to reminisce and draw some connections.

On one hand, the game AI field is the perfect arena to try out new ideas for AI researchers. For AI researchers working on agents, planning and human interaction (speech, NLP) I could imagine it would be extremely valueable to interact with MMORPG's (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games). I don't know whether anyone in the research community has ever done this before, but having an unlimited source of humans to interact with seems like quite the experimental setup. This also applies to virtual worlds like second life ofcourse. AI Research has contributed to the game AI field ofcourse, so let me highlight two recent projects:

1. The university of Alberta games group: these guys do some amazing work on several kinds of games. As far as I understand it, most of their efforst are focussed on games where the mathematics are in some sense understood: chess, poker,... What I mean by the mathematics are understood is that with infinite computational capabilities, we would be able to solve these games. The U of A group also do some work on AI for real time strategy games (e.g. Age of Empires). A mathematical analysis of these games is much harder (if possible at all). The AI necessary for these games is much closer to what I would think of as strong AI.
2. The Applied Games Group at Microsoft research: the organizers of the silicon minds challenge have developed a few innovations for game AI themselves. Their machine learning approach to inferring gamer skills (know as TrueSkill) is used by the XBox Live service. They have also enhanced Forza Motorsport with a reinforcement learning agent that learns to drive from observing human drivers.
   

One could say, who cares what technique to use: rules and search work incredibly well! Very true. In my humble opinion, the AI/machine learning community has sometimes over-focussed on new algorithms and models and too little on building intelligent solutions. Although in fields like robotics, biology and vision, our machine learning tools have had a huge impact, I think there are many fields where the AI community does not have a good understanding on how to integrate all our tools to make a large working system. Hence, silicon minds looks like a promising challenge and I am very excited to see what people come up with.

With information constantly at our fingertips with the invention of the World Wide Web, students entering college often have misperceptions about what constitutes plagiarism. Along with the Internet, things like social media and file sharing confuses the is

sue also. Generation Y has grown up sharing everything that they can grab off of a website or someone’s profile.

I’m not saying that the Internet is evil, because I couldn’t do what I do for a living without it. But, it has confused an already disliked part of research in the academic arena. Now, I’m not talking about intentional plagiarism here. We all know that there are tons of sites where research papers on any topic can be purchased or even downloaded for free. If you go out and buy a paper, you know you are doing something wrong. What I’m talking about is accidental plagiarism. And that’s what I am here to clarify so that you don’t get off on the wrong foot on the path to a college degree.
This list is not meant to be exclusive, so it is absolutely necessary to review your university’s definition of plagiarism and their code of conduct for academic honesty, as well as each individual course’s syllabus for the prof’s plagiarism policies. But the information here does come from years of teaching college English courses where semester after semester I receive papers that are plagiarize “accidently.”
Document graphics
It’s common to see all kinds of “shared” pictures, memes, images and graphics on social site and personal websites nowadays, and students often don’t realize that even though no words might be included along with the graphic, these are still someone’s creative or intellectual property. Because of that, when you use graphs or other images in college papers or projects, those too need to be correctly documented to give credit to the individuals or company that created the work.
Avoid Cyber-Plagiarism
Because the Internet is such a common form of research, students are often confused about what they can legally do with material they find from an online source. Students tend to see online source material as free and public information that they do not need to document. But copying and pasting material from an online source without correctly documenting it is cyber-plagiarism.
Remember that the definition of plagiarism is to “borrow” words, ideas or creative material that someone else created without giving credit to that person/entity. So make sure to always site the online sources where you find information you use…just like you would for material from a hardcopy source, such as a book or scholarly journal.
Cite paraphrasing and summaries
This is often an overlooked necessity. Students think that if they change the words in the borrowed material then they no longer have to give credit to the author. But the ideas still belong to the person who created them or dreamed them up. So even if you paraphrase or summarize information from a source, you still must document it the same way as you would a direct quotation (without the quotation marks).
Use the documentation style required
It may seem obvious, but it is common for professors to get submissions from students who ignore the style required for that class. Just because you may be accustomed to using APA, doesn’t mean you get to choose to always use it. All disciplines use different styles. If you are a chemistry major who takes a history class for an elective, guess what? You aren’t going to use the same documentation style as the one you are familiar with. If you need help finding a quality source to guide you through this new style, talk to your professor.
Document both in-text and on the bibliography page
Sometimes in high school, students are made only to include citations either in-text or on a bibliography page. This makes life easier for teachers and students, but sends the wrong message in the long run. Unless otherwise stated by your professor, all material must be documented both in-text and on a bibliography page. The way these two types of documentation are formatted and the exact information required might change, but including both is standard no matter what documentation style is required for the class.
Understand “common knowledge”
Today’s typical college student has grown up using the Internet, and so they often believe that all of this “free” information that is flying around through cyberspace is considered “common knowledge.” But that isn’t the case. Just because it is freely given doesn’t make it common knowledge. Common knowledge is usually defined as well-known information and facts widely available in a variety of standard reference books.Common knowledge can be confusing, especially if you aren’t terribly familiar with the material in the disciple you are studying. If you are unsure if information you want to use in your paper is considered common knowledge or not, ask your professor or do what comes next on the list.
Final Thoughts Every semester I get a student who wants to quibble about whether a particular source must be sited or if it is common knowledge, etc. You know the type…there is one in every class. My thought is that in the time they waste arguing their point with me (who ultimately has the final say) they could have already created their citation entries needed for that source! So, here is my final recommendation to avoid unintentional plagiarism:
Cite it—
Even if you aren’t sure you need to. Seriously, how long is it going to take to build the correct citations for a source? Now consider how long you have spent researching and writing this paper. Do you really want to risk failing the paper or the entire class (depending on your university’s policy) because you didn’t want to cite something you thought was probably common knowledge?

You never thought the semester would the end! But now that it is, you’re not sure you’re ready.

Final exam time is stressful whether you’re prepared are not. Often, stress is our worst enemy, but by making some smart, conscious choices, you will be on your way to a less stressful final’s week and a report card that won’t make you (or your parents) cringe.

Make a plan/schedule your time Being prepared for each of your finals is going to take time. And as final’s week approaches, every minute counts. Dust off your planner or open one of the many, free online scheduling tools available and make a plan. Just getting it all laid out on paper can really reduce your stress level. This can help you to see that you really do have enough time to get everything done. And even though you have to be flexible, if you follow your plan you will be more in control of your time and of your final grades.
Prioritize the work load Not all finals are created equal. There’s no doubt that you have a class or two that’s going to take more study time. This could be because the subject matter is just more difficult for you or it could be that you slacked off in the past and now have to buckle down to make the grade. Make conscience choices about what classes you’re going to need more study time for. This may be a tough decision, but making sure that you plan more study time for the classes that are going to be the toughest can lower your stress and help you be more successful with all of your finals.
Start small, start now We’ve all heard of the quintessential college student who waits until the last minute and then crams for his finals. How successful are these types of students? The best way to attack studying for finals is by doing a little bit each day, for each class. Try reading through your notes after class each day, making notes and highlighting to ensure that you stay engaged with the material. Go through the sections of the textbook that you will be tested on and read the headings, bolded words and highlighted sections, starting a couple of weeks before your finals. This repetition may seem boring, but you are actually studying when you do this, so you won’t have to stress out later as you cram.
Be Honest with Yourself We all have our own natural rhythm and working with that, instead of against it, is one of the ways to study smart, not hard. If you’re easily distracted, avoid going to busy coffee shops to study. On the other hand, if you need some background noise, the local coffee shop might actually be a helpful place to go. Often students claim that they studied all day for an exam and still didn’t pass it. But if they are honest with themselves, most of the time they didn’t choose a good time or place in which to study, or they allowed themselves to be distracted by social media, text, etc. So be honest with yourself. If you’re a morning person, get up a little earlier and study in the mornings. If you’re at your most alert in the evenings, study them. Turn off your cell phone and log out of all social media so that you aren’t tempted to use them to avoid studying. Remember, just because your book and notes are open, doesn’t mean you are actively studying!
