- p1necone 7y agoThat's not the normal meaning of solved in regards to game theory.
- bhl 7y agoI believe with respect to game theory, solving a game like Go would require finding a strategy that obeys the one shot deviation principle. The result would rather be boring to watch however, because the conclusion of every game played under this strategy would either be draw, or based on which player starts off first.

- Symmetry 7y agoBut it is what "solved" means in deep learning. Common terms very often acquire different technical meanings in different fields. Or even technical terms! Whether a single hydrogen atom is a "molecule" depends on whether you're talking to a physicist or a chemist. And "functor" means something very different in Java programming patterns than it does in math.

Traditionally a game is called solved when its search space has been searched exhaustively or there is some other analytic solution that allows you to determine who wins and who looses in every constellation. Tic-tac-toe is solved, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game
