What is recorded here?
Generalized self-play reinforcement learning and tree search into one algorithm evaluated across chess, shogi and Go, starting from random play with only the game rules supplied.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 2018 Science paper and its three-game evaluations. AlphaGo, AlphaGo Zero, later MuZero systems, domain-independent intelligence claims and performance outside the reported game settings remain separate.
