- Footage from the early days of bridge
- oops.. wrong thread.
- Ace Remembered
- Shireen, your article inspired me the chutzpah of throwing away the doubleton support for my King, tempting opps to finesse and giving me a maximum score :) https://imgur.com/a/J93CA8m It was against a bot so I had all the time in the world to consider my options, but ...
- Bridge in A Box - Give the game you love to the people you love!
- Good luck at the D7 :) For those not sure of how crowd-funding works or how to support Patty here's a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9U4D_Ei1WA (Patty - this could be easily adapted for your project since it's too late for mine now)
- Bridge in A Box - Give the game you love to the people you love!
- Patty - great idea! My own Kickstarter bridge project (https://www.bit.ly/T-Y-P ) succeeded but it's tough. If you want tips from me please get in touch. I've backed you so you can contact me.
- Can Google's DeepMind beat the BBO Robots in 2017
- I just read that another piece of software (Libratus) had beaten experts at another strain of poker. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38812530
- Can Google's DeepMind beat the BBO Robots in 2017
- That's a very good point Veronique. When AI can't give an explanation you can't do a root-cause-analysis when things go wrong - a cornerstone of the LEAN approach in modern business.

- Not worried either. I'd welcome this and be really curious new tactics and bidding schemes that evolved from it.
- Can Google's DeepMind beat the BBO Robots in 2017
- Thanks for the insight, Edward (and I was about to plump for "yes"). I'd seen the Starcraft II initiative but thought it was only action-focused.h I still believe Bridge could be of interest. Like Yu, I'd been fascinated by the communications - how to communicate precisely with limited ...
- Can Google's DeepMind beat the BBO Robots in 2017
- Thanks for the corrections Qucheng. Like my bidding, my description was muddled. I was assuming it (AlphaGo? DeepMind Labs?) learns from the bbo archives, not screen or youtube videos. But when it plays I was hoping it could play in in a pixel-based way since bbo probably doesn't support ...
- Can Google's DeepMind beat the BBO Robots in 2017
- Apologies Kit, I have updated the question to explain what DeepMind does. It is not a bridge program. But there is nothing stopping it from teaching itself to play bridge. What @Jordan describes is one interesting aspect of the challenge. Could it decipher a bidding system from looking at millions ...
