This is amazing! I remember when AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol back in 2016, but outperforming humans consistently is mind-blowing.

@john77 yeah, and this new algorithm might improve AI applications in fields like cybersecurity, self-driving cars, and more.

How large are the datasets this algorithm trained on, and do you think it would be effective in smaller datasets?

@mattio1 The paper doesn't specify dataset sizes, but it's possible that part of the algorithm's power comes from transfer learning, allowing it to adapt to smaller data contexts.

I'm curious how the algorithm replicates human intuition in go. Are there any insights from the paper?

@godev101 The algorithm incorporates reinforcement learning and has learned go tactics through millions of self-played games. That helped develop a solid, adaptive strategy without explicitly replicating human intuition.

Has anyone else been able to analyze the source code and math behind this? I'd love to read up on it more.

@dataqueen Not yet, as the paper was published very recently. But I'm sure people will start analyzing it now that it's making the rounds on HN.

I'm thrilled deep learning progress has made such an impact! It gives me confidence that our investments in AI research are valuable.

@whizcode Absolutely, it's a clear indication of our path to AGI, which is both exciting and slightly terrifying.
