AlphaGo.jl

AlphaGo.jl is pure Julia implementation of AlphaGo Zero using Flux.jl.

Installation

To install this package simply run

pkg> add https://github.com/tejank10/AlphaGo.jl

Usage

using AlphaGo

Making an environment of Go is simple
env = GoEnv(9)
Here 9 is the size of board i.e., a 9x9 board is created.

   A B C D E F G H J  
 9 . . . . . . . . . 9  
 8 . . . . . . . . . 8  
 7 . . . . . . . . . 7  
 6 . . . . . . . . . 6

   A B C D E F G H J  
Move: 0. Captures X: 0 O: 0  
To Play: X(BLACK)  

Training is done using train() method. train() method is used by the user to train the model based on the following parameters:

• env
• num_games: Number of self-play games to be played Optional arguments:
• memory_size: Size of the memory buffer
• batch_size
• epochs: Number of epochs to train the data on
• ckp_freq: Frequecy of saving the model and weights
• tower_height: AlphaGo Zero Architecture uses residual networks stacked together. This is called a tower of residual networks. tower_height specifies how many residual blocks to be stacked.
• model: Object of type NeuralNet
• readouts: number of readouts by MCTSPlayer
• start_training_after: Number of games after which training will be started

The network can be tested to play against humans by using the play() method. play() takes following arguments:

• env
• nn: an object of type NeuralNet
• tower_height
• num_readouts
• mode: It specifies human will play as Black or white. If mode is 0 then human is Black, else White.

TODO

• Structure for memory buffer
• GUI
