Tag.bio is a San Francisco-based startup which develops data analysis software architecture and tools for the healthcare and life science research industries. Tag.bio was started by Tom Covington and Jesse Paquette to allow oncology researchers to ask and answer guided questions of their data without having to wait for a bioinformatician.

Tag.bio allows users to select data, map it into the data node within hours, and deploy the node to the analysis site within minutes. Once the node is visible in the site, domain experts can use the analysis apps to ask and answer their own questions.

Tag.bio uses a data portal as a centralized, collaborative hub that enables domain experts to run analyses on multiple data nodes. The results are saved as useful data artifacts (UDATs) that can be shared and reproduced with a single click. A data mesh architecture is used, where each data node ties a data source, algorithms and an API together into an independently deployable, containerized analysis server. Each data node also has a smart API that allows standardized communication in two ways: between one dataset and another, and between a dataset and its analysis apps.

AlphaZero is a generalization of the computer program AlphaGo Zero, a system that teaches itself how to play chess, shogi (Japanese chess), and Go. While traditional chess engines rely on rules and heuristics handcrafted by human players, AlphaZero replaces these hand-crafted rules with a deep neural network and general purpose algorithms that know nothing about the game beyond the basic rules. AlphaZero was developed by DeepMind technologies in 2018.

To learn each game, an untrained neural network plays millions of games against itself via a process of trial and error called reinforcement learning. At first, it plays completely randomly, but over time the system learns from wins, losses, and draws to adjust the parameters of the neural network, making it more likely to choose advantageous moves in the future. The amount of training the network needs depends on the style and complexity of the game, taking approximately 9 hours for chess, 12 hours for shogi, and 13 days for Go.

The trained network is used to guide a search algorithm – known as Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) – to select the most promising moves in games. For each move, AlphaZero searches only a small fraction of the positions considered by traditional chess engines.
