In 2016, a deep learning-based system shocked the Go world by defeating a world champion. Shortly after that, the upgraded AlphaGo Zero crushed the original bot by using deep reinforcement learning to master the game. Now, you can learn those same deep learning techniques by building your own Go bot! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeep Learning and the Game of Go\u003c\/i\u003e introduces deep learning by teaching you to build a Go-winning bot. As you progress, you'll apply increasingly complex training techniques and strategies using the Python deep learning library Keras. You'll enjoy watching your bot master the game of Go, and along the way, you'll discover how to apply your new deep learning skills to a wide range of other scenarios! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild and teach a self-improving game AI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhance classical game AI systems with deep learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement neural networks for deep learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll you need are basic Python skills and high school-level math.
