Solving river crossing puzzles with reinforcement learning

Let’s use machine learning to solve the famous “wolf, goat, cabbage” river crossing puzzle. Full source code: https://github.com/antigones/py-wolf-goat-cabbage-qlearning People in every century liked to challenge themselves with puzzles: Alcuinus, a scholar, wrote a medieval Latin manuscript “Propositiones ad Acuendos Juvenes”, featuring a number of brain-teasers that we can describe as…

Making art through art: a ML approach for generative art

Performing generative art with Tensorflow and a GAN. Full source code: https://github.com/antigones/py-truchet-gan “Generative art” is the term referring to the process of creating art by means of automation and is usually performed with algorithms. In this post, we will explore machine learning generative models to create new artistic images (Truchet…

Maze generation by site percolation with Python

“It’s only forever, not long at all” (David Bowie) (Curious to see the code? Check it out here! 🧩) As done in the previous posts, we want to address the problem of generating a maze by starting from an (apparently) unrelated problem: percolation. Percolation is the movement and filtering of…

Maze Generation Algorithms with Matrices in Python

Only those who leave the labyrinth can be happy, but only those who are happy can leave it. (Michael Ende) Embracing the suggestion given by a friend, I recently bought a fabulous book about mazes (“Mazes for Programmers: Code Your Own Twisty Little Passages”): I always loved mazes, even though…

The late night tinkering projects #15: “Rock, paper, scissors!”

Leap Motion is a small device capable of capturing hand motion: let’s use it to understand basic gestures like in the popular “rock, paper, scissors” game. Source: https://github.com/antigones/lm_rock_paper_scissors Thanks to Nicola Guglielmi for the idea of applying gesture recognition to the game. The Leap Motion controller is a small desktop…
