Computer poker players

Computer poker players refer to artificial intelligence systems or programs designed to play poker against human players or other computer systems. These players use algorithms and strategies to make decisions during the game, such as when to bet, fold, or raise. The development of computer poker players involves a combination of game theory, machine learning, and statistical analysis. Some key aspects of computer poker players include: 1. **Game Theory**: Many computer poker systems employ game-theoretic strategies to optimize their play.

Cepheus is a poker-playing artificial intelligence developed by researchers at the University of Alberta, designed to play heads-up limit Texas hold'em poker. It is significant because it was the first AI to be proven "solved" for this specific variant of poker, meaning that it has a strategy that guarantees it won't lose when playing against any opponent, assuming perfect play on its part. The development of Cepheus involved extensive computational resources and advanced algorithms, particularly in the field of game theory and machine learning.

Claudico is an artificial intelligence program developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. Specifically designed for playing the strategic card game of heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em poker, Claudico was notable for being one of the first AI systems to compete against human professional poker players. In 2015, Claudico participated in a series of matches against top human players as part of a challenge organized by a group of researchers.

Libratus is an advanced artificial intelligence program developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, designed to play the game of heads-up no-limit poker. It gained significant attention for its ability to outperform professional human poker players in a series of matches in early 2017. Libratus utilizes a combination of techniques from game theory, machine learning, and computational methods to make decisions during gameplay.

Pluribus is an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) developed by researchers at Facebook AI Research and Carnegie Mellon University. It is specifically designed for playing poker, particularly no-limit heads-up Texas hold'em. Pluribus gained significant attention for its ability to compete successfully against professional human players in this complex and strategic game.

Polaris is a sophisticated poker-playing bot developed by researchers at the University of Alberta. It represents significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, particularly in the domain of imperfect information games like poker. Polaris was one of the first AI systems to compete successfully against human poker players in heads-up limit Texas hold'em.
