Dear All, Finally, the web page of the 6th UEC Cup Computer Go Tournament is open! Please check at: http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/ Registration is also open now.
We have a big CHANGE in the UEC Cup this year. Below I excerpt some information on change of the 6th UEC Cup, but do not trust the information too much; Please read the web page CAREFULLY by yourself before you submit your registration form. Any question directly to me or [email protected] is welcome. In the case, however, please be patient to wait my response for 2 or 3 days; recently I'm so busy that I cannot respond quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing you in UEC, Tokyo. Best regards, Masakazu Muramatsu -- ---Excerpts from the UEC Cup web page--- Prizes: the 1st winner: 30,0000 yen, the 2nd: 10,0000yen, the 3rd: 5,0000yen Important dates: Deadline for application of grant of travel expense: Feb. 18th Deadline for participation submission: Feb. 28th of 2013. UEC Cup Tournament: Mar. 16th and 17th Symposium: Mar. 18th and 19th Denseisen: Mar. 20th 1. There will be held matches between the first- and second-prize winner of the UEC Cup and a professional Go player. This event is called Denseisen. Between the tournament and Denseisen, we have a symposium on game informatics ( however, the title of the symposium is something like `cognitive science and entertainment'...) 2. We set three categories of programs, and each participant must declare which category his/her program falls in. See the web page for the exact definition of these categories. Below I give some informal idea of them. Any Category A program should be `original and robust', who wants to play at Denseisen if it wins the UEC Cup. In particular, the ability to manage handicap games properly is required. Category B program should be `original', and it can proceed to the second day final tournament to win the UEC Cup. However, even if such a program wins the UEC Cup, it cannot proceed to Denseisen. Category C program should have some original device, but can use some legal copies of other programs. Any program of this category is not eligible to proceed to the second day. So, again, I warn you to read the definition of the categories before you submit registration form. 3. We have a (very limited) amount of grant of travel expense for foreigners. Please submit application form if you want the grant before the end of Feb. 18th. Note that if one receives the grant, then he/she should give a one-hour lecture at the symposium. -- _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
