I am personally sympathetic to the view that AlphaGo Master and AlphaGo Zero are off-trend.
In the regression with all models the inclusion does not change the median slope, but drastically increases noise, as you can see for yourself in the visualization selecting the option ‘big_alphago_action = remove’ (see table below for a comparison of regressing the large model trend without vs with the big AlphaGo models).
In appendix B we study the effects of removing AlphaGo Zero and AlphaGo Master when studying record-setting models. The upper bound of the slope is affected dramatically, and the R2 fit is much better when we exclude them, see table 6 reproduced below.
Thanks for the comment!
