No intuition? What is intuition other than a position assessment heuristic? Game-tree AI must limit the game tree search at some depth. In order to exploit this, the opponent would need to identify the position strength at a deeper level than the AI’s search depth, which seems unlikely.
- ipaddr 5y agoA game like 'go' is a better example of this type of endless tree depth where human intuition can out perform game tree searches.
- tialaramex 5y agoI'm fine with labelling it "intuition" if you are able to avoid searching the game tree to sift potentially good moves and positions from bad, but in this case machines have intuition too now. Which is why AlphaZero plays Go with similar performance to the best human players.
- taneq 5y agoIs it really similar performance? Last I heard it was crushing all competition, human or otherwise?
- eru 5y agoIt has crushed all human competition. They haven't made AlphaGo play against other computers (apart from versions of itself). And it's neither publicly available nor playing humans anymore. However, a few other engines have re-implemented ideas from AlphaGo. Leela Zero is one of them.
- pmontra 5y agoAlpha Zero and the other open source deep learning Go engines seems to be able to give 2 or 3 stones handicap to the top human players. In my experience, between two strong players: 2 stones means "I can lose some even games against you but not often" 3 stones means "I won't lose a single even game unless I'm drunk" 4 stones means "You really didn't understand this game yet"
