Self Play Reinforcement Learning

DeepMind details Ataraxos, an AI system built for Stratego's hidden-information gameplay

Researchers describe Ataraxos, a decision-making system for the imperfect-information board game Stratego. It combines two interdependent self-play reinforcement learning processes—one for choosing piece set-ups, one for choosing moves—built on transformer networks, alongside a belief network trained on self-play games and a search procedure used at test time.
