How about you read the paper first? The conversation would make much more sense if you actually spent some time trying to understand the details of what they did. :) <-- (mandatory smiley to indicate I am not upset or anything) On Sun, Jan 31, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Greg Schmidt

[Computer-go] AlphaGo MCTS & Reinforcement Learning?

2016-01-31 Thread Greg Schmidt
The articles I've read so far about AlphaGo mention both MCTS and RL/Q-Learning. Since MCTS (and certainly UCT) keeps statistics on wins and propagates that information up the tree, that in and of itself would seem to constitute RL, so how does it make sense to have both? It seems redundant
