Re: AlphaGo's next move
#2Congratulations to Deepmind and Google for this tremendous achievement.
However, it is disappointing that the code and model will not be released publicly after Alphago finishes competitive play. It's one thing to say that an apple, once dropped, will fall to the ground, but another to describe its motion as 1/2at^2 + vt.

#3I remember vividly in 1997 when Deep Blue defeated Kasparov, and I was a competitive chess player. The mystique of the game was immediately lost for me, and I never found the passion for the game that I once had. My heart goes out to the sea of Go players now searching for meaning in the game. At the very least we can take this signal as a true indicator that our world is close to being completely upheaved by intelligent machines, in all areas of intellectual pursuit.

They did announce that they would release a teaching tool which will show AlphaGo's analysis of Go positions, as well as the paper explaining how to build your own.
Not only do you have the principle and the formula behind it, but also a little physics simulator tool! At this point, it is hard to complain.

"We plan to publish one final academic paper later this year that will detail the extensive set of improvements we made to the algorithms’ efficiency and potential to be generalised across a broader set of problems."
Should be enough, no?

They're also publishing later in the year with all the details.

Bit hyperbolic. Go at it's heart is a pretty basic game, just tricky combinatorics. The fact that you can do unsupervised learning simplifies it even more. I think there are much better true indicators, such as better translation, speech to text, auto driving, etc.

The computer supremacy certainly took something out of chess, but it also added a lot : it makes checking tactics trivial even for amateurs, it enormously enriched opening theory, and it made learning much easier for players of all levels (even Grand Masters).

Publications never have "all the details".

> Go at it's heart is a pretty basic game, just tricky combinatorics.
This goes for every turn based game and a lot of card games as well.
If you just had perfect memory you'd be a formidable chess and cards player.
