Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Sudoku is a logic puzzle in which the number between 1 and 9 is to fill in the boxes of the 9x9 grid by using the numbers already filled in as clues. Recently, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been developing as a deep learning method for graph structures. In this paper, we attempt to solve a Sudoku puzzle applied to a graph structure by using GCN. Although there have already been studies using convolutional neural networks (CNN), it is difficult to understand the computational process. On the other hand, GCN model can refer to the clues with which you solve a Sudoku puzzle, so we thought that the learning and computation processes can be made closer to the human solving process. We also believe that GCN has the flexibility to adapt to Sudoku and other puzzles having different rules by applying them to graph structures. In this paper, we compared the results with those of conventional neural networks and verified the difference in accuracy of the network model by changing the feature values and internal calculation parameter.
