Poker machine remains undefeated
2007-07-25 17:34:26
The trial of a poker-playing computer has started this week and is yet to see the machine lose to its human opponents.
Polaris, which was created by engineers at a Canadian university and is designed to exploit weaknesses in its competitors, had drawn one game and won another during Monday's play, against two poker pros.
Jonathan Schaeffer, a team leader of the Polaris program at the University of Alberta, compared the match to 1994's showdown between then chess champion Gary Kasparov and a chess-playing program, Deep Blue.
However, the current event - which the institution said is aimed at focusing on the pure skill aspect of poker - involves more difficulty because while chess players can see exactly what is on the board, there is much less transparency in the card game.
Each of the human players stands to win $25,000 if they succeed against Polaris.
