• Title: Elo Ratings for Large Tournaments of Software Agents in Asymmetric Games
• Authors: Ben Wise
• Abstract summary: It is natural to evaluate artificial intelligence agents on the same Elo scale as humans, such as the rating of 5185 attributed to AlphaGo Zero. There are several fundamental differences between humans and AI that suggest modifications to the system. We present a revised rating system, and guidelines for tournaments, to reflect these differences.

• Abstract: The Elo rating system has been used world wide for individual sports and team sports, as exemplified by the European Go Federation (EGF), International Chess Federation (FIDE), International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), and many others. To evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence agents, it is natural to evaluate them on the same Elo scale as humans, such as the rating of 5185 attributed to AlphaGo Zero. There are several fundamental differences between humans and AI that suggest modifications to the system, which in turn require revisiting Elo's fundamental rationale. AI is typically trained on many more games than humans play, and we have little a-priori information on newly created AI agents. Further, AI is being extended into games which are asymmetric between the players, and which could even have large complex boards with different setup in every game, such as commercial paper strategy games. We present a revised rating system, and guidelines for tournaments, to reflect these differences.

  We study whether a team of diverse AI systems can outperform a single AI in challenging tasks by generating more ideas as a group and then selecting the best ones. Our experiments suggest that AZ_db plays chess in diverse ways, solves more puzzles as a group and outperforms a more homogeneous team. Our findings suggest that diversity bonuses emerge in teams of AI agents, just as they do in teams of humans.

  This paper describes the mechanics of the game and we perform a game analysis. We propose unique AI algorithms based on our understanding that the two biggest challenges in the game are keeping a balanced team and dealing with three sources of uncertainty. Our AI agent performed significantly better than all previous attempts and peaked at the 33rd place in the world, in one of the most popular battle formats, while running on only 4 single socket servers.

  No-press Diplomacy is a complex strategy game involving both cooperation and competition. We introduce a planning algorithm we call DiL-piKL that regularizes a reward-maximizing policy toward a human imitation-learned policy. We show that DiL-piKL can be extended into a self-play reinforcement learning algorithm we call RL-DiL-piKL.

  We propose an efficient online match scheduling algorithm to improve the sample efficiency of the Elo evaluation (for top players) Specifically, we identify and match the top players through a dueling bandits framework and tailor the bandit algorithm to the gradient-based update of Elo. Our algorithm has a regret guarantee $tildeO(sqrtT)$, sublinear in the number of competition rounds and has been extended to the multidimensional Elo ratings.

  We argue that AI systems should be trained in a human-centered manner, directly optimized for team performance. We study this proposal for a specific type of human-AI teaming, where the human overseer chooses to either accept the AI recommendation or solve the task themselves. Our experiments with linear and non-linear models on real-world, high-stakes datasets show that the most accuracy AI may not lead to highest team performance.
