No, the official championship on the game was conducted, but this time, the algorithm managed to beat Ke Jie, the world’s best player in th, by as much as half a point.
The head of Google Deep Mind of Demis, Hassabis explained that this time AlphaGo programmed in such a way that it increased their chances of winning at the beginning of the game, but the settings of the program and suggest other types of AI. You can for example program it to increase margin on points.
During the contest Ke Jie several times per match ahead of the program, but AlphaGo after a while again began to beat the champion, because AI was originally programmed to win. Perhaps that is why the gap is pretty short. If the program set up otherwise she could start to win extra points, increasing to the end of the game their performance.
Soon will be two more competitions in the game of go, in which, in addition to people, will take part in artificial intelligence. It is known that during one of the matches, the program will compete with five players.
The new version AlphaGo significantly improved in comparison with that not so long ago beat 60 players on the Chinese sites, requiring almost ten times less computing power.
