And who are you? Predictions are a dime a dozen; what gives any relevance to yours?
- Houshalter 11y agoThe point is that anyone could have predicted it. There were papers being published showing very promising results on Go in 2014.
- euyyn 11y agoAnyone could have predicted as in "take a year out their asses and write it down", sure. A dime a dozen. Predicted as in actually know what they're talking about and have some sort of reasoning or data backing that prediction? Nah.
- Houshalter 11y agoNo, there were papers published in 2014 showing that CNNs could predict the moves of expert Go players 55% of the time. That was an extremely remarkable, result. It's not a huge leap to go from that, to using it as move predictor as the search heuristic in a game tree searching algorithm.
