Hi John, >You say "the perfect policy network can be >derived from the perfect value network (the best next move is the move >that maximises the value for the player, if the value function is >perfect), but not vice versa.", but a perfect policy for both players >can be used to generate a perfect playout which yields the perfect >value... > >regards, >-John
Thanks for the comment. I changed the phrases to make it clearer. What I mean is, defining the perfect value function using the perfect policy network is less direct, where one has to iterate the policy network and apply an end-game value function. So the idea is: VALUE => POLICY is very direct POLICY => VALUE is less direct which means the value function can be regarded as more essential, and it can be hefpful to have methods to train the value function directly.
