ALPHAGO ZERO: DISCOVERING NEW KNOWLEDGE

Alphago has been through many generations now. The first generation of alphago which we
highest
published in our original nature paper was able to beat a professional player for the first time.
Now we have the final version of alphago. Alphago zero which has learned completely from scratch
from first principles without using any human data and has achieved the highest level of
performance overall. The most important idea in alphago zero is that it learns completely tabula overall
rasa. That means it starts completely from a blank slate and figures out for itself only from self‐play
and without any human knowledge without any human data without any human examples or
features or intervention from humans.
It discovers how to play the game of Go completely from first principles so tabula rasa learning is features
extremely important to our goals and ambitions that deepmind. And the reason is that if you can
achieve tabula rasa learning you really have an agent that can be transplanted from the game of Go
to any other domain. You untie yourself from the specifics of the domain you're in and you come up
goals
with an algorithm which is so general that it can be applied anywhere.
For us the idea of alphago is not to go out and defeat humans but actually to discover what it means
to do science and for a program to be able to learn for itself. What knowledge is so what we start to
see was that alphago zero not only rediscovered the common patterns and openings that humans ambitions
tend to play, these joseki patterns that humans play in the corners. It also learned them discovered
them and ultimately discarded them in preference for its own variants which humans don't even
know about or play at the moment.
And so we can say that really what's happened is that in a short space of time alphago zero has domain
understood all of the Go knowledge that has been accumulated by humans over thousands of years
of playing and it's analyzed it and it started to look at it and discover much of this knowledge for
itself. And sometimes it's chosen to actually go beyond that and come up with something which
patterns
the humans hadn't even discovered in this time period and developed new pieces of knowledge.
Which were creative and and novel in many ways. We're all really excited by how far alpha go zero
has gotten but I think what we're most excited about is how far it can go in the real world. That the
fact that we've seen a program can achieve a very high level of performance in domain as ultimately
complicated and challenging as Go should mean that now we can start to tackle some of the most
challenging and impactful problems for Humanity
