AI defeats history's best Stratego player on a budget

Original: With most information hidden, the game Stratego Adding in a second neural network that guesses the identity of hidden pi

Researchers have built an AI that beat the best Stratego player in history, and did so cheaply. Because most pieces in Stratego are hidden, the system added a second neural network that guesses the identity of hidden pieces, which proved key to handling the game's imperfect information. The result is drawing attention as a milestone for AI in hidden-information games.

Why now: An AI beating the best human Stratego player marks a notable advance in imperfect-information games, achieved on a small budget.
