NEW YORK, Accoona. The Accoona
Artificial Intelligence Search Technology understands the meaning of words and
allows users to "Supertarget" key words within a search query, thus providing
more relevant results. The
winner, appropriately named Poker Probot , took down the winner-takes-all prize
and won the right to challenge one of poker's best players in a battle of
human versus machine. While holding
even for most of the first half of the competition , Laak realized that the
machine was "playing too aggressive" and changed his playing style to
capitalize "on 'his' weakness" to win the match. Cheered on by an audience
chanting, "Humans, Humans," Laak eventually won the three-hour battle which
saw over 300 hands.
"Until now, Poker Robot competitions have existed in the underground,"
said Darren Shuster, Co-Manager for the event, "and we're making it a truly
global competition for Poker and gaming enthusiasts to enjoy at the venue in
Las Vegas , on TV or via the Internet.S.
