DeepMind’s MuZero plays Atari, Go, chess and shogi without rules

Nature published “Mastering Atari, Go, chess and shogi by planning with a learned model” on 23 December 2020. Julian Schrittwieser and colleagues at DeepMind described MuZero, which planned using a model it learned rather than rules it was given.

Why it mattered Dropping the requirement for hand-coded rules pointed the AlphaZero line of work toward problems whose dynamics are not known in advance.
