Amazingly, when you click on the link on "nature" in the sentence "Details of the programme were published in the journal Nature." here : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017 ... 000-years/
you can read the whole article !
But direct link in the forum doesn't work.

that is the AlphaGo Zero's team ultimate goal as well.Leo wrote:I am glad to hear that.

US scientists are using artificial intelligence to predict whether breast lesions identified from a biopsy will turn out to cancerous.
The machine learning system has been tested on 335 high-risk lesions, and correctly diagnosed 97% as malignant.
It reduced the number of unnecessary surgeries by more than 30%, the scientists said.

While it is still early days, AlphaGo Zero constitutes a critical step towards this goal. If similar techniques can be applied to other structured problems, such as protein folding, reducing energy consumption or searching for revolutionary new materials, the resulting breakthroughs have the potential to positively impact society.

For that one I think they will take milleniums, or simply never.
They can't cure migranes or diabetes, much less stop aging.
And I think some people expect too much from science.
My mother had a severe skin disease on her feet called hyperkeratosis, with profound cracks in the sckin wich hurted badly, she was treated with the best doctor in the field in the country (portugal), with very agressive medications, and none of the several treatements worked. Desperate my mother tryed some plant called "malvas" in portuguese, after 2 weeks she was much better, after 6 weeks she was completed cured and the problem went completely away.
I think the human body is too complex for science.
Even a single cell is tremendously complex.

I hope for such an experience for chess : starting a very deep learning with only basic rules, piece coordinate and piece interaction.
Even no "piece value" concept hardcoded.

Re: We are doomed - AlphaGo Zero, learning only from basic r
It would be interesting for chess to be done this way BUT how will it benefit the average chess user if we do not have the "juice" to run the program?
The programs of today on an average machine can beat the best of humanity.

When the neural network is trained, it can be exported in a file to be use on every computer.reflectionofpower wrote:It would be interesting for chess to be done this way BUT how will it benefit the average chess user if we do not have the "juice" to run the program?
Yes, but sometimes top engines do very poorly on some positions. The idea is to get an engine strong in EVERY chess positions !reflectionofpower wrote:The programs of today on an average machine can beat the best of humanity.

So when is Google's Deepmind team going to take on Stockfish, Houdini, and Komodo in chess?

Yeah ! Let's beat this puny engines 100-0 !Leto wrote:So when is Google's Deepmind team going to take on Stockfish, Houdini, and Komodo in chess?

This. Developing AIs for games allows one to develop general AI techniques without the ethical and cost implications of testing on real objects, or, worse, animals and humans.duncan wrote:While it is still early days, AlphaGo Zero constitutes a critical step towards this goal.

The experience of strong human games was a weak part of the learningDeepMind team wrote:Conclusion
Our results comprehensively demonstrate that a pure reinforcement
learning approach is fully feasible, even in the most challenging of
domains: it is possible to train to superhuman level, without human
examples or guidance, given no knowledge of the domain beyond basic
rules. Furthermore, a pure reinforcement learning approach requires
just a few more hours to train, and achieves much better asymptotic
performance, compared to training on human expert data. Using this
approach, AlphaGo Zero defeated the strongest previous versions of
AlphaGo, which were trained from human data using handcrafted fea-
tures, by a large margin.
Humankind has accumulated Go knowledge from millions of games
played over thousands of years, collectively distilled into patterns, prov-
erbs and books. In the space of a few days, starting tabula rasa, AlphaGo
Zero was able to rediscover much of this Go knowledge, as well as novel
strategies that provide new insights into the oldest of games
