DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we give an introduction to the AlphaZero algori
 thm and discuss some research challenges of using it beyond board games. I
 n an effort to make this algorithm widely accessible to students and resea
 rchers\, we introduce [AlphaZero.jl](https://github.com/jonathan-laurent/A
 lphaZero.jl). We show how this package leverages Julia's strengths to prov
 ide an implementation that is simple and flexible\, while being up to two 
 orders of magnitude faster than comparable Python implementations.
