DCNNs are not magic but just non-linear continuous function approximators with finite freedom and we can provide up to 10^8 samples (board positions) in practice.
Why do most people believe VN can approximate (perfect or near perfect) value function? What do they estimate the complexity of the value function for 19x19 Go? valky...@phmp.se: <aa3cca138c40cbd620700cc36e950...@phmp.se>: >My guess is that there is some kind of threshold depending on the >relative strength of MC eval and the value function of the NN. > >If the value function is stronger than MC eval I would guess MCEval >turns into a bad noisy feature with little benefit. > >Depending on how strong MC eval is this threshold is probably very >different between engines.
