Hmm, seems to imply a 1000-Elo edge over human 9p. But such a player would literally never lose a game to a human.
I take this as an example of the difficulty of extrapolating based on games against computers. (and the slide seems to have a disclaimer to this effect, if I am reading the text on the left hand side correctly). Computers have structural similarities that exaggerates strength differences in head-to-head comparisons. But against opponents that have different playing characteristics, such as human 9p, then the strength distribution is different. -----Original Message----- From: Computer-go [mailto:computer-go-boun...@computer-go.org] On Behalf Of Rémi Coulom Sent: Friday, March 25, 2016 8:23 PM To: computer-go <computer-go@computer-go.org> Subject: [Computer-go] Nice graph AlphaGo improved 3-4 stones: http://i.imgur.com/ylQTErVl.jpg (Found in the Life in 19x19 forum) Rémi _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
