20 Questions on The Simpsons and Harry Potter
Oct 26, 2007
Have you played 20Q yet? The online game has a brain that learns the "right" answers to the game of 20 Questions solely through players playing the game. No one person taught the game the right answers; it just looks for patterns across the thousands of played games. (It's a true "neural net," for AI fans out there.)
Especially fun - newer additions to the themed games include The Simpsons, the Old Testament, and Harry Potter. Definitely worth a look.
The inventor, Robin Burgener, spoke at Gel 2007 - here's a video clip.
(I linked to the game awhile back on Good Experience Games but wanted to make sure everyone had seen it.)
