Poker computer to play human champions
2007-06-13 16:25:06
The owners of a poker-playing computer program developed in Canada have challenged two of the world's best players to 2,000 hands of Texas Hold'em.
Taking place on July 23 rd and 24th in Vancouver, the game will be played in conjunction with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Conference.
Researchers hope that the $50,000 game between the Polaris program and Phil Laak and Ali Eslami will help test advances in artificial intelligence.
"We have developed a format that has helped us factor out luck and make it into a scientific experiment to determine how good humans are relative to the best program in the world," said lead researcher Jonathan Schaeffer.
"The goal is to eventually produce a poker program that is stronger than all human players."
In each match, the human poker players will play concurrently against Polaris in different rooms. At the end of each match, Laak and Eslami will combine their chip totals and compare them against Polaris' total.
