Hello everyone, Another update, as AGA will announce later:
* We are honored to have Yuandong Tian from Facebook Research, to present "DarkForest: A DCNN-based open source Go engine", on 8/4 afternoon. * We are honored to have John Tromp, who calculated the exact number of legal Go positions, to present "The number of legal Go positions", on 8/4 afternoon. * As previously mentioned, Deepmind is coming to USGC this year. In addition to the opening keynote on 7/30 Saturday, Aja Huang and Hui Fan will also present "AlphaGo Insider" lecture on 8/4 Thursday's "Computer Go afternoon", focusing more to the developer community. * After these exciting presentations, DarkForest will play Andy Liu 1p at 3 handicaps. * "JustGo" live recording/broadcasting app will be demoing around the lounge and playing room. This should be a fun event :) Thanks everyone who helped our community work:) Chun On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 8:56 AM, Chun Sun <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'd like to bump up the thread and announce another team attending USGC > this summer: > > Wantong Technology from China will attend USGC with their automatic game > recording and broadcasting app "JustGo".
