I know that. My intention with the question is a different one: I am thinking how humans are learning. Is it beneficial to have learnt related - but different - stuff before? The answer will depend on the case, of course. And in my role as a voyeur, I want to understand if having learnt a Go variant X before turning my interest to a "slightly" different Go variant Y. Do, I want to combine the subject with some entertaining learning process. (For instance, looking at the AlphaGo Zero games from the 72 h experiment in steps of 2 hours was not only insightful but also entertaining.) > you typically want to start with small weights so > that the initial mapping is relatively smooth. But again: For instance, when a eight year old child starts to play violin, is it helpful or not when it had played say a trumpet before? My understanding is that the AlphaGo hardware is standing somewhere in London, idle and waitung for new action...
