I don't believe AlphaGo's MCTS, policy NN, or value NN support your last paragraph. Could you please explain what it is about Somehow construction that supports strategic categories with associated probabilities or why only tactical decisions are being made? I'm a bit confused by your last statement actually. Are you saying AlphaGo decides how much to emphasize certain strategic goals or that it doesn't (only makes tactical decisions)?
- conanbatt 9y agoI could read more about Alphago's functioning to be sure, but alphago cant make a reasoned balance between two options based on strategical considerations, it can only decide between different winning probabilitlies. Thats not strategy, thats tactics. You are making decisions by objectives, not by goals. For example, lets say you play soccer and have to do a series of penality shots. If you decided that you will kick the ball always at the same corner because you think that you will get better at aiming at the corner in successive hits than the goalie will, you are making a strategic decision "I will take advantage of learning how to repeat a shot better than a goalie can defend it". If you make the decision because you know that shooting the ball always at the same corner has been prooven to have the highest probablity of scoring, you are making a tactical decision. Strategy is what you use when the outcomes are very uncertain, and its one place where humans excel. Tactics is where computers excel, and humans faulter.
