David shared very interesting insights about their famous AlphaGo and AlphaZero learning agents and their new works <a href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.com\/blog\/article\/alphastar-mastering-real-time-strategy-game-starcraft-ii\">AlphaStar<\/a> (mastering the real-time-strategy game StarCraft II) and <a href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.com\/blog\/article\/alphafold\">AlphaFold<\/a> (cutting-edge technology for 3D protein folding). Many other interesting talks, posters and tutorials (among them one given by Boris Naujoks, TH K&ouml;ln, together with Vanessa Volz on Game Benchmarks for EAs) made the conference a very stimulating event. Apart from interesting keynotes, talks and discussions, a &quot;Games Night&quot; event was organized which spiced up the whole program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Wolfgang Konen presented his work on General Board Game Playing at CoG&#039;2019, the Conference on Games, which took place between 20-23 of August in London, UK.
