In case anyone else was interested, yes, the AAAI general game-playing competition has just started. You can find instructions to join the mailing list on the "resources" page at the site (games.stanford.edu) and evidently the games from the competition are being broadcast "live" online. If it's run like last year's competition (which I strongly suspect it is), then there are several preliminary rounds before the on-site final, with later rounds weighted more heavily so as not to punish machines that are still learning in the early rounds when they first face strong competition, so you could in fact join late with little penalty. (The tournament director stated this last point in his response to me.)
It's an interesting field, and I do recommend that people check it out if they're curious. It helps push games back towards the realm of "big AI" for a while. (Measurable goals tend to fall eventually. ;) Neat stuff. -Nick On 6/3/07, Peter Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't know, but I'd like to try it on the AAAI's general game-playing competition. Does anyone know if it's still running? The only site I could find gives a past date as Real Soon Now: http://games.stanford.edu/competition.html I didn't get any reply from the address listed. Does anyone else know anything?
