Go game and AI

Go is a two-player game of strategy said to have originated in China 3,000 years ago.

Players compete to win more territory by placing black and white “stones” on a grid measuring 19 squares by 19 squares.

The play is more complex than chess, with a far greater possible sequence of moves,

and requires superlative instincts and evaluation skills. Because of that, many researchers believed

that mastery of the game by a computer was still a decade away

Тем не менее, 9 марта 2016 года, самый могучий игрок в Го продул гуглевому изделию, названному AlphaGo.

Счет 1:0 в пользу роботов, всего собрались играть 5 партий.

A Google computer program stunned one of the world’s top players on Wednesday in a round of Go, which is believed to be the most complex board game ever created.

The match — between Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo and the South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol —was viewed as an important test of how far research into artificial intelligence has come in its quest to create machines smarter than humans.

“I am very surprised because I have never thought I would lose,” Mr. Lee said at a news conference in Seoul, South Korea. “I didn’t know that AlphaGo would play such a perfect Go.”

Мне в целом понятно, как оно работает.

Только любопытно, сколько процессоров-оперативки-диска используется?

Датацентр? Кластер в комнате? Персоналка?
