machine learning ensure that AI can recognize our language,\u00a0help\u00a0doctors\u00a0diagnose,\u00a0make judgments,\u00a0or chatbot human beings.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, when AlphaGo won against the\u00a0European champion Fan Hui\u00a0and then lost to the world champion, the program had to be trained before the start of the tournament with human experts and players for the board game.\u00a0Only then was the program able to offer a virtual professional player a virtual forehead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>The new version of Alpha Go, AlphaGo Zero, is able to learn how to play Go without completely interacting with human game partners.\u00a0After AlphaGo Zero is given the game rules, the AI can teach it independently.\u00a0In doing so, she simulates several million games against herself. Thus, the program becomes virtually his own teacher.\u00a0The researchers have made this possible by creating an algorithm that optimizes the neural network after each successful game.\u00a0By and by, the game can assign a success to the individual moves.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AlphaGo_Zero_defeats_his_predecessor\"><\/span>AlphaGo Zero defeats his predecessor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>AlphaGo Zero\u00a0was so able to learn the game in just a few days.\u00a0&#8221;\u00a0<em>To our surprise, AlphaGo Zero was better than its predecessor AlphaGo Lee after 36 hours,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0said David Silver from the Google research center DeepMind.\u00a0After 72 hours, the researchers then had both programs compete against each other.\u00a0The result was impressive: AlphaGo Zero defeated his predecessor with 100: 0 games.<\/p>\n<p>The new version is not only better but also more economical than its predecessor.\u00a0She is content with one computer and four special chips.\u00a0AlphaGo Lee needs more than one computer and a total of 48 special offers.<\/p>\n<p>Through the self-learning processes of the AI, especially innovative and powerful moves are developed.\u00a0&#8221;\u00a0<em>He acquired not only fundamental elements of the human go-knowledge, but also strategies that go far beyond the range of traditional go-knowledge,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>An AI that starts its own learning processes according to given rules has the great advantage that errors and weaknesses of human teachers can not be transferred to the software.\u00a0The researchers also assume that they can transfer AlphaGo Zero from the Go game to any other domain.\u00a0<em>&#8220;The algorithm is so general that it can be used anywhere,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0explains Silva.<\/p>\n<p>Not for no reason do researchers see the future of AI in self-learning systems.\u00a0In view of the rapid development in AI research, the next few years are likely to be tense in this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Asian board game Go is considered particularly challenging.\u00a0For a long time, it was very unlikely that an artificial intelligence in the difficult game would have many chances against a human player.\u00a0Until Google&#8217;s algorithm AlphaGo proved the opposite.\u00a0The software had to surrender to\u00a0the world champion Lee Sedol\u00a0, but the performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet-and-technology-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Go-620x465-1.jpg?fit=620%2C465&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7ISfL-iO","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":679,"url":"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/internet-and-technology-news\/google-joins-the-phone-wars-meet-pixel-phone-by-google\/","url_meta":{"origin":1166,"position":0},"title":"Google Joins The Phone Wars : Meet Pixel, Phone by Google.","author":"Daniel Draga","date":"October 5, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"A lot would say, it was about time, I'd say it was about damn time that after a lot of pre-event leaks and revelations, we have a phone by Google.
