@Detlef It is comforting to hear that GoGoD data seemed to converge towards 51% in your testing. When I ran KGS data... it definitely converged more quickly but I stopped them short. I think it all makes sense if figure 5 of the DarkForest paper is the convergence of KGS data... and it doesn't seem clear... but looking at the paper now... they are comparing with Maddison and makes sense they would show the numbers for the same dataset.
@GCP the three move strength graphs looked shaky to me... it doesnt seem like a clear change in strength. For the ladder issue... I think MCTS and a value or fast rollout network are how AG overcame weaknesses like that. The fast rollout network is actually the vaguest part to me... i have red some of the ancestor papers... and can see that people in the field know what they are describing mostly.. but I don't know where to begin to get the pattern counts listed in the AG tables at the end of the paper @David Have you matched your network vs. GnuGo? I think accuracy and loss are indicators of model health... but playing strength seems diff. The AG paper only mentions beating Pachi at 100k rollouts with the RL... not the SL... at 85% winrate. The DarkForest paper shows more data with winrates... KGS network vs Pachi 10k won ~23% of games.. but GoGoD trained won ~59%. They also tacked on extended features and 3 step prediction... so who knows. I am actually feeling a million times better about 51% being the heavy zone for GoGoD data. Makes my graphs make more sense. Graphs now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0BbrXeL6VyCZEJuMG5nVG9NYkU/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0BbrXeL6VyCR3ZxaUVGNU5pVDQ/view Gonna keep going with the magenta and black line... figure I can get to 48 percent. I can run 10 million pairs in a day... so the graph width is 1 week. Lol... feel so happy if 57 isnt expected on GoGoD. 51 looks fine and approachable on my graphs. For the game phase batched data... the DarkForest paper explicitly calls out that they got stuck in poor minima without it. I figured that randomness was fine... but you could definitely get some skews... like no beginning moves in a minibatch of size 16 like AG. Their paper didn't elaborate... but did mention 16 threads... to generate a pair.. i select one random game from all of the available sgf files... and split the game into 16 sections. I am using threading too.. so more to that... but basically 16 sets of 16 makes for a 256 minibatch like DarkForest team. Think the only way to beat Zen or CrazyStone is to get the value network or fast-rollout with MCTS. Of course... CrazyStone is evolving too... so maybe not a goal.
