Life In 19x19

If you're setting a go club, or your go board is in public that used by a lot of people in a short amout of time that it's impossible to wash them after each game, please use Disinfecting Towelettes (one of the brand is CaviWipes), and use with disposable glove. But right now if you're not in the ...

4,5XX is still lower than 4,858 of AlphaGo Master, but they measure in different pool so...

Since DeepMind is not gonna provide exact elo value anyway I'll do this for fun. I try to find elo from graphs assuming graphs have accurate scale.

We'll start with the exact number the paper mention (from AlphaGo Zero paper)
3,144 for AlphaGo Fan
3,739 for AlphaGo Lee
4,858 for AlphaGo Master ...

Surprised not to see Aja Huang in this, but he appears in AlphaStar paper.

Anyway, I just love the name, Zero is nothing, and Mu is also nothing in Japanese and Korean (Wu in Chinese), something like that.

I'm wondering if they manage to also play StarCraft at AlphaStar level in their next project ...

Some computer go programmers believe 9x9 is actually the last frontier.

I suggest to read the whole discussion

Park beat two players in the world top-10 to get to last year's finals, while Iyama beat NONE to reach LG Cup finals.
Iyama beat #26 Lee Yeongkyu in the first round, #24 Zhou Ruiyang (2013 Bailing Cup winner) in the second round , #8 Yang Dingxin (2019 LG Cup winner) in the third round, #2 Ke Jie ...

Iyama has risen to #29 on Goratings, probably due to his recent wins against Yamashita Keigo in Kisei title defense.

However, this means Iyama is ranked higher than Park Yeong-hun. Riiiiight... I would find it believable if not for the fact that Park has reached the last two Chunlan Cup finals in ...

From Reddit AMA look like Fan Hui is still working at DeepMind?
"We have met with Fan Hui. It was a fun experience to see how we had a similar approach, confidence, going into the matches. We talked briefly after the event and we both felt excited about where this journey is going to take us. Even ...

It's very amazing what DeepMind has done, I won't comment on the game as it's worth watching it by yourself
Now for the result.....





It unfold almost exactly as happen with AlphaGo
First AlphaStar trained 1 week (3 days of studying human games and 4 days of self-play) and won (pre-broadcast) 5-0 ...

I'm wondering if this will follow DeepMind's formula
1. Beat European Champion
2. Beat World Champion
3. AlphaStar Master beat 60 consecutive online games with top pro
4. AlphaStar Zero (Learning from scratch/Tabula rasa) paper release
5. Alpha e ...

残念でした is more like "too bad, better luck next time!"

The machines might be better than us at go now, but machine translation still has a long way to go. Good for me, I might be able to keep my job for few more years!

I use Google translation (twitter use Microsoft Bing which is worse)
Both ...

Got a graph of bot win%? I only watched the end of the game, but Black seemed okay in the beginning with some good territory but when white wrapped around the top left and got an attack going on the left group it seemed hard. In the post-game analysis Iyama was looking at variations in the lower ...

Even official Twitter of World Go Championship call Iyama Yuta 'disappointing' in this game
