Computer Beats Human Champion at Go



Go is thought to date back to ancient China, several thousand years ago.
Using black-and-white stones on a grid, players gain the upper hand by surrounding their opponents pieces with their own.
The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a choice of 200 moves compared with about 20 in chess.
There are more possible positions in Go than atoms in the universe, according to Deep Mind's team.
It can be very difficult to determine who is winning, and many of the top human players rely on instinct.

Deep Mind's chief executive, Demis Hassabis, said its Alpha Go software followed a three-stage process, which began with making it analyse 30 million moves from games played by humans.
Go is a board game thought to date back to ancient China more than 2,500 years ago.
Although the rules are simpler than with chess, a player in Go typically has a wider choice of moves to make at each turn, and there are many more ways a game can play out.

Victor Frankenstein

Movies   Recapping Past News Events The character of Frankenstein was born in Naples (according to the 1831 edition of the novel) and raised in Geneva.

My ancestors had been for many years counsellors and syndics; and my father had filled several public situations with honour and reputation."
