«Swisscom, comme ses concurrents, possède en parallèle des contrats avec des sociétés occupant beaucoup de bande passante. Vendredi, l’opérateur précisait au Temps qu’un accord de réseau existait avec Netflix de mars à novembre 2016. Ensuite, le service de vidéo à la demande a été integré sur la plateforme Swisscom TV. Du coup, un «content delivery network» a été créé, soit un accord technique pour améliorer la qualité du service sur le réseau de Swisscom.

«The AlphaGo Zero program recently achieved superhuman performance in the game of Go, by tabula rasa reinforcement learning from games of self-play. In this paper, we generalise this approach into a single AlphaZero algorithm that can achieve, tabula rasa, superhuman performance in many challenging domains. Starting from random play, and given no domain knowledge except the game rules, AlphaZero achieved within 24 hours a superhuman level of play in the games of chess and shogi (Japanese chess) as well as Go».
