Challenging Games

You're in for a treat. This is a treasure of articles waiting to be pillaged, both related to the challenges logic games present to computers and modern AI.

The first is over on the National Post about a clever Poker player; Researchers Develop a Computer Program That Knows When You're Bluffing. Building on previous players that learn to deal with plain statistics over time, the software is now capable of detecting whether you are bluffing or not! It's especially impressive that no visual information is given to the software, basing its decision simply on betting patterns.

NY Times is the host of the second article, this one about Computer Go -- In an Ancient Game, Computing's Future. The article looks at the many challenges and problems of playing Go, as even experts just rely on intuition rather than specific rules of thumb. The search space is also huge, which rules out brute force. Any successful software will need to demonstrate advanced learning skills and pattern recognition abilities to get beyond the measly kyu rating of current artificial players.
