I mean, the agents have learned the game from pro replays so to me it seems obvious it would evolve to play the same strats human pros use.
- Calms 8y agoMy understanding is that Alphastar is trained on reinforcement learning. I suspect this is unsupervised so it would have learned this behaviour independently without pro replays.
- w1 8y agoPer DeepMind's blog post[1], an agent was initially trained via supervised learning on pro matches. Then, the agent was forked repeatedly, as the population of agents learned via tournament-style self-play. So, while initial strategies could have been seeded by pro play styles, the final models were the result of models learning from games with other models.

- devilmoon 8y agoMeaning that the final models evolved by playing against each other and they all started by using pro strategies, so, again, to me it seems kind of obvious that they would end up using pro strategies and in the best case just try to make them better
