Game-AI Forum

Hi, A friend of mine is trying to develop a bot to play rummy, and he asked me for advice. I told him the trendy way of doing this for any game these days is to set up a neural network and train it from self-playing games. The obvious problem with adapting the AlphaZero approach to a game with lots ...

I'm curious to know what you have discovered in the months since the first post. I suspect that Psychology won't have anything illuminating to bring to the table. DeepMind's Alpha Zero's playing style is often described as creative, but I think that's just a descriptive label we assign, and not some...

These seem to be games between humans. Why is it called the "computer-go-dataset"?

I sent you a PM.

In case you live under a rock, a couple of days ago the good guys at Google DeepMind published a deeply mind-boggling paper on Nature about their computer go player, AlphaGo. https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-data/assets/papers/deepmind-mastering-go.pdf It involves a few innovative ideas, but ...

I know that for three decades we have had to put up with people learning a little bit about neural networks and thinking they could solve every problem, when the reality is that they rarely solved any problems. But please don't run! :) It turns out there is this thing call "Deep Learning", which as ...
