A new research paper explores how AlphaZero internalizes behaviors learned during self-play search. Using a method called Cross-Phase Prior Intervention (CPI), researchers can distinguish between behaviors learned by the network and those provided by the search algorithm during evaluation. The study found that while search guidance significantly improves performance, the network retains a substantial portion of these learned behaviors even when the guidance is removed, though this internalized competence is geometry-bound and less effective on novel situations.
