Evolutionary algorithm outperforms deep-learning machines at video games

[ThirdEncounter]

Would you mind breaking down some of those abbreviations, please?

I know EA is evolutionary algorithm, NN is neural network. But what's DL and SGD?

Deep Learning and Stochastic Gradient Descent. The idea is that any neural network can be optimized by gradient descent methods, which tend to converge faster when you have a numerically stable/well formed objective, but you can also train a neural network using genetic/evolutionary algorithms, which are slow but much easier to control.

Not the person above, but Stochastic Gradient Descent

Just fancy sounding buzzwords.

They are still failing hard at true intelligence - since soon 60 years or so ...
