The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“In something like AlphaGo,”
“for example, we had a structured inference process.”
“So we did this, you know, Monte Carlo tree search and we were kind of searching around and actually algorithmically updating nodes that we had visited and feeding that back and retraining the model.”45:07Report a misattribution
