Human-level Play in the Game of Diplomacy with Open-Source CICERO

Lead author of the landmark Science 2022 paper creating CICERO, which combined strategic reasoning (piKL planning algorithm) with dialogue generation to negotiate, coordinate, and achieve human-level play in full-game Diplomacy.

Scope & limitations

Dialogue filtering requires strict truthfulness classifiers to prevent strategic hallucinations that violate game rules.

Context: Strategic value iteration, filtered Monte Carlo dialogue planning, 7-player cooperative-competitive games.

Superhuman AI for Multiplayer Poker: Pluribus

Developed Pluribus, the first AI to defeat elite human professionals in six-player no-limit Texas hold'em, demonstrating that depth-limited search with real-time belief distribution solving can scale to high-dimensional imperfect information.

Scope & limitations

Imperfect information equilibrium computation is computationally expensive for state spaces exceeding billions of action sequences.

Context: Monte Carlo CFR (Counterfactual Regret Minimization), depth-limited subgame solving.
