AlphaDev
open-in-new
<p>AlphaDev is an <a href="/facts/Artificial_intelligence/lJGauQwX">artificial intelligence</a> system developed by <a href="/facts/Google_DeepMind/n5ehBwCx">Google DeepMind</a> to discover enhanced computer science algorithms using <a href="/facts/Reinforcement_learning/NrgPPS0Q">reinforcement learning</a>. AlphaDev is based on <a href="/facts/AlphaZero/6uujYyM5">AlphaZero</a>, a system that mastered the games of <a href="/facts/Chess/47ykvkHF">chess</a>, <a href="/facts/Shogi/z12HJ3vB">shogi</a> and <a href="/facts/Go_(game)/1fKhemww">go</a> by self-play. AlphaDev applies the same approach to finding faster algorithms for fundamental tasks such as <a href="/facts/Sorting/olGzsItY">sorting</a> and <a href="/facts/Hash_function/rk6MlCt3">hashing</a>. </p>
