AlphaZero is RL as well.
Isn't that the sort of thing you thought of as a kid when thinking of AI, rather than "here's another way to serve ads and make hopefully-not-racist financial decisions"?
- oneoff786 5y agoKids are dumb. The real value of machine learning is mundane business decisions that used to rely an poorly informed gut feelings or painstaking manual efforts
- ivalm 5y agoTokomak control has some RL experiments but it is definitely not the only way. AlphaZero is… not quite a practical application. I am a big believer in using AI to improve the world, but RL is just a direction that isn’t yet sufficiently mature. I think they still need their convnet/transformer moment.
