Michael+Johanson

a Canadian computer scientist and Ph.D. student at University of Alberta with research interests in Artificial Intelligence for [|board], [|card] and [|video games], specially the game of Hex and the Poker variation [|Texas hold 'em]. Michael Johanson co-authored the Hex-programs [|Mongoose] and [|Wolve], and developed the poker bots [|Polaris] including HyperBorean, which played the 2007 AAAI Computer Poker Bot Competition. Polaris and HyperBorean were both subject of his Master's thesis in 2007. || toc =Selected Publications=
