Nothing is puzzling anymore! 😄
Machine learning is conquering many of the traditional pastimes of humans like chess, Go, poker, Bridge etc. What will be left for humans to do? Fix automatons, design new ones ...?
From the abstract:
"We present the Berkeley Crossword Solver, a state-of-the-art approach for automatically solving crossword puzzles. Our system works by generating answer candidates for each crossword clue using neural question answering models and then combines loopy belief propagation with local search to find full puzzle solutions. Compared to existing approaches, our system improves exact puzzle accuracy from 57% to 82% on crosswords from The New York Times and obtains 99.9% letter accuracy on themeless puzzles. Our system also won first place at the top human crossword tournament, which marks the first time that a computer program has surpassed human performance at this event. ..."
