If I understand this correctly, it learns the rules of Sudoku by looking at 1,000 examples of (puzzle, solution) pairs. It is then able to solve previously unseen puzzles with 55% accuracy. If given millions of examples, it becomes almost perfect.

This is apparently without pretraining of any sort, which is kind of amazing. In contrast, systems like AlphaZero have the rules to go or chess built-in, and only learn the strategy, not the rules.

Off to their GitHub repository [1] to see this for myself.
