The intelligible reason is that focussing on the win or loss
means that the bot is focussing on what actually matters: winning
and not losing. If the bot focuses on the margin of victory
the play can be skewed to aim for big wins that may not
happen while paying insufficient attention to small

In my original post I put a link to
the relevant section of the MacKay
book that shows exactly how to calculate
the probability of superiority
assuming the game outcome is modelled as
a biased coin toss:

I was making the point that for this

nce of that result.
>= 10% is -50 to 670 ELO
>= 1% is -250 to 1190 ELO
My numbers may be slightly off from eyeballing things in a simple excel sheet.
The idea and ranges should be clear though

my point is that I *think* we can say more (for example
by not treating the outcome as a black-box event,
but by appreciating the skill of the individual moves)

Hi all,
I was discussing the results with a colleague outside
of the Game AI area the other day when he raised
the question (which applies to nearly all sporting events,
given the small sample size involved)
of statistical significance - suggesting that on another week
the result might have been
Indeed – Congratulations to Google DeepMind!
It’s truly an immense achievement. I’m struggling
to think of other examples of reasonably mature
and strongly contested AI challenges where a new
system has made such a huge improvement over
existing systems – and I’m still struggling …

Did I read that correctly? The number of playouts per second
for Many Faces has gone DOWN by a factor of 10? (25,000 -> 2,500)
Presumably do to the playouts being heavier.

* JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) - also has Java libraries.

A few points about Java and speed etc.
Java can rival C for speed, depending what you
do with it.
Unfortunately, really 'nicely' designed code
can be significantly slower than code written
specifically with efficiency in mind.
I accept that in principle one should aim for clean
