What an incredible moment - I'm so happy to have experienced this live. As noted in the Nature paper, the most incredible thing about this is that the AI was not built specifically to play Go as Deep Blue was. Vast quantities of labelled Go data were provided, but the architecture was very general and could be applied to other tasks. I absolutely cannot wait to see advancements in practical, applied AI that come from this research.

(it has a link to the free paper, as well) The position evaluation heuristic was developed using machine learning, but it was also combined with more 'traditional' algorithms (meaning the monte-carlo algorithm). So it was built specifically to play go (in the same way deep blue used tree searching specifically to play chess.....though tree searching is applicable in other domains).
