Is it still easy to find positions that alphazero totally misunderstands?
- tialaramex 9y agoSuch positions are not interesting to Alpha unless it might run into them. If Alpha would never choose moves that lead to this position, it needn't have any insight into them. If a Hold'em AI would never choose to bet 72 off it doesn't need to have an opinion of what to do when that bet is raised by the opponent.
- ouid 9y agoSorry, I missed this response. The goal, to me, for a chess playing AI, is not that it be very effective at the game. We have already shown that simple algorithms exist which are better than humans. The novelty presented by Alphazero is the generalization of positional evaluation with deep learning structures. If you present Alphazero with this board, and ask it to learn how to play starting from this position, what does it discover? Does that translate to other "similar" pathological boards?
