AAAI Computer Poker Competition
Call for Participation
On July 16-20, at the Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Boston, MA, there will be the first AAAI Computer
Poker Competition. The game will be heads-up limit Texas Hold-Em. To
encourage broad involvement, we will not require participants to
attend or register for the conference to participate. The winner will
receive no prize but the joy of victory and the envy of the community.
The competition website is:
http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~pokert/ .
The website has the rules, the freeware server to be used in the
competition along with source code, example 'bots, and forums for
discussion among participants.
If you wish to hear more about this competition, please contact us at
poker-competition@cs.rutgers.edu.
If you wish to compete, please email us with the subject "Want to
Compete" at poker-competition@cs.rutgers.edu. Include the following
information:
* Team leader's name
* Other team members, as appropriate
* Your bot's name
* Postal address
* Phone number (including country code if outside Canada/US)
Note: This competition was proposed to AAAI and is supported by the
Poker Research Group at the University of Alberta. I have been asked
to serve as impartial "arbiter" and to supervise the evaluation
process so that U. Alberta has the option of participating in the
competition. They deserve our hearty appreciation for creating this
opportunity for the community.
Best of luck to all!
