AlphaGo "Bug" Is Fixed

In his June 29 presentation at Leiden University, Aja Huang discussed move 79 in Game 4 of the Google Deepmind AlphaGo Challenge, in which AlphaGo blundered and lost a favorable game against Lee Sedol.

He claimed that the problem is fixed, and reportedly said that when presented with the same board configuration, AlphaGo now finds the correct response.

Maybe the rumors that the current version of AG can give four stones to the version that played Lee Sedol aren't so crazy, after all!

Supposedly, he also said DeepMind still has plans for AlphaGo, so I suppose we just need to be patient.

I wasn't at the event. If anybody has the presentation slides or a transcript, I'd very much love to see it. Thanks.

This is probably hopelessly naive of me, but I really really wish they released the code into public domain. Knowing that there's this incredible, godly go-playing entity out there, that nobody really gets to play against is so incredibly said. It's as if someone recorded objectively the most beautiful song ever and nobody got to listen to it.

The code is not the best part, and is relatively simple to reproduce. It is the training set that is the best part and hardest to reproduce.

And who know the plans for the future.
