It seems, we are living in extremely heavy times ... I want to go to bed now and meditate for threee days. > DeepMind makes strongest Chess and Shogi programs with AlphaGo Zero method. > Mastering Chess and Shogi by Self-Play with a General Reinforcement Learning > Algorithm > https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.01815.pdf > > AlphaZero(Chess) outperformed Stockfish after 4 hours, > AlphaZero(Shogi) outperformed elmo after 2 hours. It may sound strange, but at the moment my only hopes for games too difficult for AlphaZero might be
* a connection game like Hex (on 19x19 board) * a game like Clobber (based on CGT) Mastering Clobber would mean that also the concept of combinatorial game theory would be "easily" learnable. Side question: Would the classic Nim game be a trivial nut for AlphaZero ? Ingo (is now starting to hope for an AlphaZero type program that can do "general" mathematical research). _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
