This is a robotics paper by Nvidia & UW researchers.
It is not an Alphabet/Deepmind paper, and it also has nothing to do with the "NIST" OCR dataset.
Was there really not a more appropriate name than "AlphaNIST"?
Woah, deepmind solved the national institute of standards and technology???
NIST makes sense, but co-opting Alpha is a bit odd.
Alpha historically had meant "Google DeepMind" not RL
It is a NIST board challenge. https://www.nist.gov/el/intelligent-systems-division-73500/r...
