Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree search

TL;DR: Using this search algorithm, the program AlphaGo achieved a 99.8% winning rate against other Go programs, and defeated the human European Go champion by 5 games to 0.5, the first time that a computer program has defeated a human professional player in the full-sized game of Go.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mastering the game of Go without human knowledge

TL;DR: An algorithm based solely on reinforcement learning is introduced, without human data, guidance or domain knowledge beyond game rules, that achieves superhuman performance, winning 100–0 against the previously published, champion-defeating AlphaGo.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general reinforcement learning algorithm that masters chess, shogi, and Go through self-play.

TL;DR: This paper generalizes the AlphaZero approach into a single AlphaZero algorithm that can achieve superhuman performance in many challenging games, and convincingly defeated a world champion program in the games of chess and shogi (Japanese chess), as well as Go.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved protein structure prediction using potentials from deep learning

TL;DR: It is shown that a neural network can be trained to make accurate predictions of the distances between pairs of residues, which convey more information about the structure than contact predictions, and the resulting potential can be optimized by a simple gradient descent algorithm to generate structures without complex sampling procedures.
