"AI who defeated humans with poker" changes the world, what is the possibility that poker professionals who love astrophysics talk?

Unlike chess etc. which the other's hand can read, poker needs to fight while reading the psychology of the opponent based on incomplete information. This point is thought to be the most difficult to read for AI, but in January 2017 AIComplete victory for poker pro. I learned what asthmatism this situation has, studied astrophysics and now work as a poker playerLiv BoereeThey are talking.

"Looking at the star in the night sky, it is not difficult to make a thought on a magnificent question, the star turns a person into a philosopher, and later I can not estimate it in the human brain as far away I will look back at what I was seeing something. "


As I said,Liv BoereeMr.


Boeree is a person who studied physics and astrophysics at Manchester University in England. He seems to have been fascinated by the universe since childhood.


I grew up in a rich natural environment rich in Kent ......


To understand the mechanisms and processes behind natureMathematics as a languageUse the.


It is Boeree who is deeply interested in what happens in nature and the earth, but in reality it is also known to be active as a poker player. Boeree was fascinated by poker on the occasion when she appeared on the poker reality program in 2005 and in 2010European Poker TourI won the championship and gained 1.66 million dollars (about 190 million yen).


"Texas HoldemPoker is incomplete information game. A unique situation arises in Texas Holdem than primitive in space, "Boeree said.


"It's a complicated game that makes minds unlikely to develop on a scale just like a number, so I like it."


To play Texas Hold'em, it is necessary to be as systematic as possible, while intuitive talent to read human psychology is also required.


"Poker, especially Texas Hold'em is used as one of the benchmarks in the AI ​​community that is working on incomplete information games," said Professor Tuomas Sandholm, who studies computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. Professor Sandholm is the world's first poker AI "LibratusIt is the person who developed the.


Libratus uses super computer "Bridges" in Pittsburgh, USA.


Bridges is the world's largest system and is active in areas dealing with artificial intelligence and big data.


Mr. Nick Nystrom of the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is the man of the photo. "Libratus and Bridges have made history so far," Nystrom says.


The place is back to London. Boeree talks about the top players of Texas Holdem making a team and fighting against Libratus.


At this time, many poker players witnessed how the human brain fights supercomputers. What was noticed in the game is that Texas Hold 'em has two aspects: "There are multiple players" and "information is incomplete".


However, the Libratus algorithm automatically created a poker strategy, eventually Libratus would win the four pros. It is a very innovative event that AI triumph in "incomplete information game" not the "complete information game" where opponent's hands can be seen like chess and go, but who can not see the other's hands I will.


The victory of Libratus was an innovative moment when artificial intelligence triumphs over human beings, but for Boeree, it seems that it was a moment when "It is shown how powerful the human brain is."


And what matters is that "What will you learn from here?"


You should be able to apply supercomputer technology that overrides humans to something else to apply science to poker and apply science to solving social problems.


Libratus's ability to derive optimal hands from incomplete information analyzes and selects the optimal treatment method at the patient's individual levelPrecision MedicineDevelopment and ...


There is a possibility that it can be applied to many things such as environmental destruction.


"I am excited about the possibility that applying a supercomputer or AI makes it possible to solve a very big problem such as the nature of the universe without mystery"


"Even a very small and insignificant way of being able to harbor great possibilities by engaging with human brains and the human brains created by human brains," Boeree said It was.
