As I understand the paper they directly created alphago zero with a 40 block setup.
They just made a reduced 20 block setup to compare on kifu prediction (as far as I searched in the paper, it is the only place where they mention the 20 block setup) They specifically mention comparing several version of their software. with various parameter If the number of block was an important parameter I hope they would mention it. Of course they are a lot of things that they try and failed and we will not know about But I have hard time to believe that alphago zero with a 20 block is one of them About the paper, there is no mention of the number of block of master: "AlphaGo Master is the program that defeated top human players by 60–0 in January, 2017 34 . It was previously unpublished but uses the same neural network architecture, reinforcement learning algorithm, and MCTS algorithm as described in this paper. However, it uses the same handcrafted features and rollouts as AlphaGo Lee and training was initialised by supervised learning from human data." Of what I understand same network architecture imply the same number of block Le 25/10/2017 à 17:58, Xavier Combelle a écrit : > I understand better > > > Le 25/10/2017 à 04:28, Hideki Kato a écrit : >> Are you thinking the 1st instance could reach Master level >> if giving more training days? >> >> I don't think so.
