Automatic Tuning Of Car Controllers - UPDATED




Our blog friend and official Viking, Julian Togelius, is asking all the machine learning/artificial intelligence researchers, practioners, enthusiasts, etc. to submit a car controller tuned using your favorite learning algorithm. Further informations may be found here and here. The controllers will be subjected to a competition against each other during a set of races.

If were you, I would submit it immediately! If you don't, then, flee from your hometown or... face the Viking raid!! :)

The first place will be awarded a weekend staying at Valhala, being guided by Valkyries. :)

-------------------------------------------
I was told, in the comments, by Julian Togelius that there is a video from the last racing car competition they held this year at the last WCCI. See it here.

It is one of the bloodiest races I have ever seen in my whole life!

The blue car is very skilled.

Machine learning researchers of the world, unite! And send your controller to the competition!

Thanks for the ad, Marcelo!

Here's a link to a video from the last competition:

Of course, we hope to have better controllers submitted this time...
