What exactly is “scripting”?

Posted: 20 Feb 2020 10:08 AM PST

And how is it different from "programming"?

What is the name of this logical pattern?

Posted: 20 Feb 2020 06:32 AM PST

I'm designing an algorithm which is exploiting a specific structure in the set of rules it has to work with.

We have 2 types of facts, facts of type A and facts of type B.

The rules are all either of the form

a. with a of type A
a → b. with a of type A and b of type B
b1 → b2. with b1 and b2 of type B

The right-hand of the rules are always of type B. The facts of type A can never become true through implication. The facts of type B can only become true through implication.

This structure seems fairly standard. I'm wondering if there is a name for a set of rules of this structure. Does anyone knows if a set of rules of this form has a specific name?

[Discussion] Introduction to Deep Learning for Graphs and Where It May Be Heading

Posted: 20 Feb 2020 11:24 AM PST

The paper, A Gentle Introduction to Deep Learning for Graphs, could be the first work of tutorial nature to introduce readers to the main concepts and architectural aspects of deep learning methods working on graphs, with special attention to foundational works.

Does anyone know of a good algorithm for getting/checking valid checkers moves?

Posted: 20 Feb 2020 07:52 AM PST

I'm making a checkers ai and I am trying to find an efficient approach to getting all the valid moves a player can make. I have the board stored as an integer array of size 32 with numbers representing the pieces e.x. zero is an empty square, 1 in a white pawn, 2 is a white king, etc... Is there a good algorithm for finding valid moves beyond brute force?

Amazon Coding Interview problem.

Easier way to find all subsets of a set( power set)

By using Backtracking approach.
