Hi George, welcome, and thanks for your valuable hint on the Google-whitepaper.
Do/did you have/see any cross-relations between your research and computer Go? Cheers, Ingo. Gesendet: Dienstag, 02. Februar 2016 um 05:14 Uhr Von: "George Dahl" <george.d...@gmail.com> An: computer-go <computer-go@computer-go.org> Betreff: Re: [Computer-go] Mastering the Game of Go with Deep Neural Networks and Tree Search If anything, the other great DCNN applications predate the application of these methods to Go. Deep neural nets (convnets and other types) have been successfully applied in computer vision, robotics, speech recognition, machine translation, natural language processing, and hosts of other areas. The first paragraph of the TensorFlow whitepaper (http://download.tensorflow.org/paper/whitepaper2015.pdf) even mentions dozens at Alphabet specifically. Of course the future will hold even more exciting applications, but these techniques have been proven in many important problems long before they had success in Go and they are used by many different companies and research groups. Many example applications from the literature or at various companies used models trained on a single machine with GPUs.

(Olivier had made a similar >remark already.) Agree but one criticism. If such great DCNN applications all need huge machine power like AlphaGo (upon execution, not training), then the technology is hard to apply to many areas, autos and robots, for examples. Are DCNN chips the only way to reduce computational cost? I don't forecast other possibilities. Much more economical methods should be developed anyway. #Our brain consumes less than 100 watt.
