A Highly-Parameterized Ensemble to Play Gin Rummy

Published in Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021

This paper presents the design and training of an autonomous Gin Rummy player. The system consists of three core components responsible for decision-making in card drawing, discarding, and game termination. An ensemble-based strategy is employed to improve discard decisions, and a genetic algorithm is used for model tuning. The paper concludes with an analysis of parameter optimization and performance evaluation across three experimental configurations.
