I'm curious if AlphaGo is simply winning by virtue of having more computational capability (and therefore can never be defeated consistently by humans) or if in its training it actually discovered and is now deploying interesting new tactics that humans, studying these games, can uncover and therefore use to defeat AlphaGo in the future.
- hodwik 11y agoSedol said that it was doing tactics he had never seen before -- like the now infamous move 37 that caused Sedol to get up and walk out of the room.
- cjbprime 11y agoApocryphal, but romantic -- he left the room ten seconds earlier.
- hodwik 11y agoIs that right? From the Google stream you couldn't actually see him leave, that's just what the commentators said.
- cjbprime 11y agoYeah, reddit /r/baduk had a thread about it including video from a different angle. The commentator only noticed that the move had been played and he was gone, didn't get the ordering correct.
- partycoder 11y agomove 37 was a black move (lee sedol)
- platz 11y ago"move 37", the infamous "shoulder hit", is a reference to what happened in Game 2, in which AlphaGo was black.
- return0 11y agoAlphaGo was first trained with human data only to create an initial "predict the next move" network. Afterwards, they let the network play with itself to learn how to win. So it's quite possible that it has its own tactics.
