I wonder if being an expert at one game makes it easier to be an expert at another. If so, then maybe the examples are datasets, and convergence would be able to complete new tasks after a few examples.
- vinchuco 9y agoReally interesting question. Some strategic concepts may transfer, say, from chess to chess variants. However, a simple change in the rules can have a huge impact in the game mechanics as anyone who has tried chess variants [1] knows.

- foota 9y agoIt would be very interesting to see someone try something like transfer learning from one game to another.
- jmmcd 9y agoWell, it's not doing anything like that for now. Even though the algorithm, in an abstract sense, is the same for all three games, in fact it's a new network for each of the three games, with architecture and input features adapted to the game, and then trained from scratch.
