Title: Reflections on The Hanabi Challenge
The Hanabi Challenge first appeared five years ago in February 2019. Since then, AI practitioners have explored the challenge, yielding insights in cooperative multi-agent learning, ad-hoc teamwork, and emergent communication. This talk looks back on the challenge, what has been learned from it so far, and how those learnings can inform practitioners going forward.
