Ke Jie, one of the world's best Go players, will compete against another artificial intelligence Go program, China's Golaxy, on April 27 in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province.

 

柯洁，围棋世界顶级选手之一，将于4月27日在福建福州与另一个人工智能围棋项目中国的Golaxy对战。

 

Developed by a Chinese AI team, Golaxy has a very different algorithm than AlphaGo, Google's Go program that defeated Ke last year, said Jin Xing, chairman of Golaxy.

 

"We are exploring new methods to consume fewer computing¹ resources and training samples," Jin said. "Golaxy has made progresses in the feature system, model structure and MCTS algorithm, compared with AlphaGo."

 

The results of human vs. AI Go games are no longer suspenseful², said Lin Jianchao, chairman of the Chinese Go Association.

 

The upcoming competition between Ke Jie and Golaxy will further test the competitive ability of the domestic AI Go program, and it will be a starting point for wide use of AI go technology in public apps, Lin said.

 

AlphaGoZero, the upgraded version of AlphaGo, benefits from a large number of self-play, and iteratively saves and upgrades the models.
