- Raahul_Kumar estimated 100% and said “I think your existence is too weak.” on 2016-03-14
- JoshuaZ said “Since AlphaGo is not being updated during the match(I thought?), can someone explain how they can generally give an estimate much above the base rate of 75%? I can understand lower numbers since Lee Sedol may have learned, but higher puzzles me. ” on 2016-03-14
- PlacidPlatypus estimated 75% and said “I’m not really sure but my impression is that AlphaGo can learn even without being updated by its programmers. Still wouldn’t go that high though.” on 2016-03-14
- artir estimated 60% on 2016-03-14
- lavalamp estimated 60% on 2016-03-14
- Raahul_Kumar said “AlphaGo uses Q learning.http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/~robotics/media.htmlQ-learning will converge on optimal play, and given that AlphaGo is already ranked 4 and is only 90 points away from being the strongest at Go ever.http://www.goratings.org/” on 2016-03-15
- PseudonymousUser said “@JoshuaZ I saw that the value network was (usually) far better assessing board position than Lee Sedol was…” on 2016-03-15
- PseudonymousUser said “Its one major mistake occurred because Lee Sedol was able to force it into an unfamiliar situation. Given that it has played through most professional games in existence…” on 2016-03-15
- PseudonymousUser said “I believe Lee Sedol won’t FIND any more holes in its knowledge, even if those holes still exist. That is, I think Lee Sedol got lucky—even if his move 78 on Game 4 was very good.” on 2016-03-15
- PseudonymousUser said “I.e., I believe that the holes in AlphaGo’s knowledge come from situations that humans (and itself, in self-play) have rarely played through. ” on 2016-03-15
- PseudonymousUser said “Given that these ‘holes’ persist for AlphaGo after going through the games of the most talented players in history—not to mention playing against itself—I believe the probability of Lee Sedol finding another hole is < 1/4.” on 2016-03-15
