News: Software learns games in 2 minutes, beats opponents there after

Un software que aprende juegos en 2 minutos y vence a sus openentes [EN] vía @element14

Lukasz’s software is able to learn to play games such as Connect 4, Breakthrough and Pawn Whopping (to name a few) using a decision making engine. Sure there are other software/machine systems that learn to play games, but they usually stick to one game only (think ‘Deep Blue’ chess playing computer) rather than a few varieties. The software (game learning algorithm) was created using OCaml and incorporates multiple logic systems which it uses to learn to play simplistic board-games by processing video of the game being played along with minimal input of the games general rules. The computer Lukasz used to develop the software is no power-house (single-core Intel L9600 processor @ 2.13GHz with 4Gb of ram), but that is the minimum requirement to drive the software to learn a game after analyzing roughly 2 minutes of video and then becoming a formidable component.
