Hi Patrick, KGS admin told me to reuse my Golois2 account for the new version of Golois using a value network, that's why it jumped from 1 dan to 7 dan, the old Golois2 was a policy network, the new one uses the policy network as a prior for MCTS and a value network to evaluate states. It runs on 3 GTX 1080Ti GPUs, making approximately 2 000 evaluations in 12 seconds for each move. It uses resnet as explained in my recent paper in TCIAIG and ACG. There should be all versions of Golois on KGS from 1 to 7, I recently only used Golois2 so maybe some other accounts disappeared. I could reach 4 dan with a resnet based policy network.
Thank you for your interest, Tristan. > Hi, > > Can anyone (starting with their author maybe) comment on the go > programs playing on KGS as the various "Golois" versions ? > > In particular, I noticed that Golois2 KGS rank recently jumped from a > solid 1dan to a solid 6dan (actually now in the low 7dan in fast games, > 15"/move time control; user's info :"Golois version 3.8"). > > Golois and Golois2 have been described by their author as greedy > players, based on a Res-Net policy network.
