Human-level play in the game of by combining language models with strategic reasoning.

Despite much progress in training artificial intelligence (AI) systems to imitate human language, building agents that use language to communicate intentionally with humans in interactive environments remains a major challenge. We introduce Cicero, the first AI agent to achieve human-level performance in , a strategy game involving both cooperation and competition that emphasizes natural language negotiation and tactical coordination between seven players. Cicero integrates a language model with planning and reinforcement learning algorithms by inferring players' beliefs and intentions from its conversations and generating dialogue in pursuit of its plans.

Influence of Forced Carbonisation on the Binding Properties of Sludge with a High β-Belite Content.

Alternative binders activated by forced carbonisation are regarded as one of the potential solutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water, and energy consumption. Such binders, in particular those based on nepheline sludge (a by-product of alumina production), cured in carbon dioxide with subsequent hydration, are clinkerless building materials. The development of such binders contributes to the involvement of multi-tonnage solid industrial waste in the production cycle.

[Hearing dynamics in acute traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane after application of blood plasma enriched with platelet growth factors].

Objective: The article considers the possibility of treating patients with acute traumatic perforation of the eardrum with a single application of blood plasma enriched with platelet-derived growth factors in the perforation area. As a result of the studies, it was found that the acceleration of its closure and the restoration of hearing.

Material And Methods: The study included 43 patients with unilateral acute PBP of various etiologies (Table 1).

Intensive Ways of Producing Carbonate Curing Building Materials Based on Lime Secondary Raw Materials.

The article is dedicated to the research and development of intensive methods for curing products by capturing and binding CO. It aims to improve and increase the productivity of technologies for the production of artificially carbonated building materials and products. Soda production wastes, limestone dust and finely dispersed limestone dust were used as the research objects.
