Recursive Belief Based Learning News Today

by Facebook AI Research (FAIR) published a paper on Recursive Belief-based Learning (ReBeL), their new AI for playing imperfect-information games that can defeat top human players in poker. The algorithm combines reinforcement learning (RL) with state-space search and converges to a Nash equilibrium for any two player zero sum game. Code for training the algorithm to play Liars Dice has been open-sourced. FAIR researchers Noam Brown and Anton Bakhtin gave an overview of the system in a blog po...
