Q20 game works

It was right. So how does this 20Q device work? The short answer is "artificial intelligence. In , Canadian inventor Robin Burgener programmed a neural network a specialized form of computer program capable of playing 20 Questions, but without a library of knowledge about common objects. He proceeded to teach it twenty questions about the object "cat," then handed the program on floppy disk to friends and encouraged them to play, recording their play sessions as it went.

For 20Q, playing equals learning, as it develops "synaptic connections" whenever it receives answers to questions. It's able to reinforce connections by playing games over and over with different people, gradually learning which answers are correct and which aren't. Thus it's difficult to "poison" the system by purposely giving it wrong answers.

The program can then use these connections to pose clarifying questions, eventually arriving at an answer. By , Burgener had a good body of connections in his neural network. He put a version of the 20Q program on the web and encouraged web visitors to play with it thus training it in the process.

After the online version of 20Q had played one million games amassing 10 million synaptic connections in the process , Burgener boiled down the 20Q system into a simplified 20Q-on-a-chip version.
