德扑人机战 中国龙之队不敌人工智能冷扑大师

 　　The AI system, called Lengpudashi, won a landslide¹ victory and $290,000 in the five-day competition.

　　日前，一款被称为“冷扑大师”的AI系统，在为期五天的比赛中以绝对优势取得胜利，并赢得了29万美元。

　　It is the second time this year that an AI program has beaten competitive poker² players.

　　这已经是AI程序今年第二次击败有竞争力的扑克牌玩家了。

　　An earlier version of the program, known as Libratus, beat four of the world's best poker pros³ during a 20-day game in January.

　　被称为Libratus的早期程序版本，在今年一月份举行的一项为期20天的比赛中，击败了世界上最好的四名扑克职业选手。

　　The AI systems were the work of Tuomas Sandholm, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, and PhD student Noam Brown.

　　该AI系统是美国卡内基梅隆大学计算机科学教授塔马斯·桑德霍姆和博士生诺姆·布朗研发的。

　　The prize money will go to Strategic Machine, a firm founded by the duo.

　　The human team up against Lengpudashi was led by Yue Du, an amateur poker player who won the World Series of Poker $5,000 buy-in, no-limit, Texas Hold'em category last year.

　　本次与“冷扑大师”较量的人类团队由杜悦领队，他是业余扑克玩家，去年在5000美金买入的无限德州扑克世界系列赛中夺冠。

　　Mr Du's "Team Dragon" consisted of engineers, computer scientists and investors⁴ who attempted to use game theory and their knowledge of machine intelligence to anticipate and counter Lengpudashi's play.

　　杜悦的“龙之队”由工程师、计算机科学家和投资者组成，他们试图利用博弈论及其机器智能的知识来预测和应对“冷扑大师”的发挥。

　　Unlike chess and Go, in which all the playable pieces are visible on the board, poker is what computer scientists call an "imperfect information game".

　　不同于象棋与围棋的所有棋子均可见，扑克被计算机科学家称为“不完全信息博弈”。

　　Like the poker pro-beating Libratus AI program before it, Lengpudashi was run on a supercomputer at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

　　和之前打败专业选手的libratus AI程序一样，“冷扑大师”也是在匹兹堡超级计算中心的一台超级计算机上运行的。
