Akihiro has kindly agreed for us to film his talk and make it available. I should be able to put it online somewhere - I will let you know when this is done.

This looks like a really interesting talk, but I live nowhere near where this is being held. Is there any way at all?

Despite of a lot of efforts for building state of the art programs, Go is still resistant to current AI techniques, even for solving subproblems such as Life and Death, or tsume-Go. This talk presents the techniques behind TsumeGo Explorer, a high-performance tsume-Go solver. TsumeGo Explorer uses df-pn(r), a new search algorithm that improves the depth-first proof-number search algorithm. The program also contains domain-dependent enhancements. In empirical tests, TsumeGo Explorer out performs GoTools, which has been the undisputedly best tsume-Go solver for the last 15 years. --- You are currently subscribed to msrclectures as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] m Please see our Privacy Statement: http://research.microsoft.com/msrsupp/privacy.htm _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
