The sheer amount of processing power required is kinda frustrating.. Not able to use my computer for a whole month in order to train knowing it is only 1/100th the training time AlphaGo was trained with..
Yet it is extremely satisfying to see it grow stronger and surpass oneself.. I hope at some point DeepMind, an research instute, another big company or somebody else with acces to a big cluster will release pre-trained models for everybody to experiment with=) a poor poor student;-) On 5 January 2017 at 19:48, Lukas van de Wiel <lukas.drinkt.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > It helps a lot if you have to do it as a job, as a paid researcher.
