RL Sprint: Diplomacy and AI

Details

The meetup is generously hosted by Badoo.

co-hosted with https://www.meetup.com/London-Reinforcement-Learning/.

We're starting to create a bot to play Diplomacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_(game)) - please come help us!

tl;dr: Diplomacy's a fun game; there's an annual competition for bots; using RL to play the 'gunboat' variant should be easy; full Diplomacy involves natural language processing, so will be a real challenge.

For more details about Diplomacy and bots playing it, see the slides at http://wrongdoing.org/181004_Diplomacy_AI.pdf . For a less informative - but more fun - lightning talk, see https://youtu.be/Ojpn3UXZuGM?t=1033

We expect that we'll use TensorFlow with Keras.

Please bring your own laptop so that you can contribute more actively to the project. There are limited spots and we're not charging admission: please only sign up if you want to attend; if your plans change, please leave your spot so someone else can use it.
