Making the rules of sports fairer

SJ Brams, MS Ismail - Siam Review, 2018 - SIAM
The rules of many sports are not fair---they do not ensure that equally skilled competitors
have the same probability of winning. As an example, the penalty shootout in soccer …

Generating heuristics for novice players

F de Mesentier Silva, A Isaksen… - … IEEE Conference on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of generating compact sub-optimal game-playing heuristics that
can be understood and easily executed by novices. In particular, we seek to find heuristics …
