I didn't downvote you, but there's more going on here than just inferencing over a database of prior knowledge. The game is too complex for that. Compare this approach for instance to Monte Carlo based approaches which aren't doing so well.
Speaking of Monte Carlo, the Lee Sedol version of AlphaGo did combine a series of deep networks with Monte Carlo sampling, but rumor is that was replaced in this version altogether (it's also running on TPU's now). Would like to see some more technical details as well.
- computerex 9y agoTheir state of the art approach hybridizes MCTS with deep neural networks. I'd be interesting indeed if they manage to get better performance without MCTS all together, although they did achieve very impressive performance without MCTS.
