AI系统Ataraxos在Stratego游戏中击败顶级职业选手

来自卡内基梅隆大学、麻省理工学院、纽约大学和斯坦福大学的研究团队开发的AI系统Ataraxos在Stratego游戏中战胜了职业顶级选手Pim Niemeijer，取得15胜1负4平的战绩1。这一成果标志着AI首次可靠地击败该游戏的顶级人类玩家1。

Ataraxos的训练成本相对较低，仅耗费16个GPU和数千美元1。纽约大学研究员Eugene Vinitsky指出，Stratego之所以对AI构成挑战，在于其具有"大量隐藏信息在非常长的时间尺度内展开"的特性1。

A research team from Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, New York University, and Stanford University has developed an artificial intelligence system called Ataraxos that defeated Pim Niemeijer, widely regarded as one of the strongest professional Stratego players of all time, with a record of 15 wins, 1 loss, and 4 draws 1. This achievement represents the first time an AI has reliably overcome a top-tier human player in the game 1.

The system accomplished this feat using remarkably modest computational resources, requiring only 16 GPUs and training costs in the thousands of dollars 1. Stratego presents a distinctive challenge for artificial intelligence because it is an imperfect information game where vast amounts of data remain concealed and progressively revealed across extended periods of play 1. According to Eugene Vinitsky, a researcher from New York University involved in the project, "Stratego has some super unique properties in that it has a large amount of hidden information that unfolds over a very long time scale" 1.
