We can all "wonder" such things unless we are not too busy to build some code to filter out such positions and see what actually happened in the self-play games opened up to everyone to see. s. On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 11:29 AM, Dave Dyer wrote: > > I wonder how alphago-0

If you wanted to do research on a specific joseki to see if AG0 found weaknesses or explored alternatives, especially in games past day 3 (when it began besting AGM), it would be quite interesting to see, through that explicit filter, what kinds of things emerged around that specific joseki. You

If the AG got better by playing against itself rather than training on previous good players then I do not thing training data is that important. Perhaps it is but google has shown that actually u dont need it. Just loads of processing will do the trick. 2017-10-23 15:05 GMT+03:00 Jim
