Apparently AlphaGo made two rather stupid moves on the sidelines, judging from the commentary. Which incidentally is the kind of edgecase one would expect machine learning against itself is bad at learning, since there is a possibility that AlphaGo just tries to avoid such situations. It will be interesting to see if top players are able to exploit such weaknesses once AlphaGo is better understood by high level Go players.
- Jach 11y agoFrom my perspective as a weak player, those stupid moves are the sorts of moves I would make if I already knew I was losing (but not by a huge margin, otherwise resign) but I was in byo-yomi overtime. It settles already dead stones and gives me a bit more time to keep searching for a better move that could maybe turn the game around, and if the opponent fails to make the obvious response then I can turn the game around from their blunder. The only odd thing is AlphaGo makes these moves without having entered byo-yomi time.
- yk 11y agoThanks, this just raises further questions. I have a lot to learn before I can call myself a weak player, but it does sound like AlphaGo regressed to the level of an amateur, which needs a explanaition by itself.
