But a very inappropriate one. I have read Suttons book and all the
things I
know (e.g. TD-Gammon) are completly obfuscated.
Really? I think it is a wonderful example of clear thinking and clear
writing - I couldn't put the book down. It is the reason I chose to
study RL, and to come study with Rich Sutton.
Its maybe suitable to
present generel concepts, but it is extremly complicated to
formulate an
algorithm in this framework.
Of course everyone hopes that ideas will be presented to them in
their personal terminology, as it saves them some effort. But we make
progress in science by unifying and identifying the general concepts.
But the main point is: I think game programmers should be more
proud of
their work and should present their results in the language of game
programming. We are the ones which make progress, not these paper
tigers.
Isn't there room for both? Shouldn't we present our work within our
own community, but also make efforts to share our ideas with others?
