Description
In our previous work we demonstrated how to achieve superhuman performance in the game of Go, a long standing challenge for AI. Subsequently we also showed how to achieve the same level of performance tabula rasa, without builtin human knowledge or hand engineered features.
In our most recent work we further generalise our algorithm: AlphaZero exceeds the state of the art in Go, Chess as well as Shogi without game specific adaptions beyond the rules.
