Hi,
I'd like to start some discussion again.
The Title "Better Computer Go Player with Neural Network and Long-term
Prediction" seems to put the focus on Long-term Prediction, but my
Problem is, that I can not find the result from the paper.
My main problem is: darkforest and darkfores1 differ in two parameters:
Training database and long term prediction
("Our first bot darkforest is trained using standard features, 1 step
prediction on KGS dataset. The second bot darkfores1 is trained using
extended features, 3 step prediction on GoGoD dataset.")
And the importance of the dataset has be found by previous CNN papers.
I understand the idea, that long term prediction might lead to a
different optimum (but it should not lead to one with a higher one
step prediction rate: it might result in a stronger player with the
same prediction rate...), and might increase training speed, but hard
facts would be great before spending a GPU month into this :)

The way it's presented triggers my hype alerts, but nevertheless:
