RE: [computer-go] benchmark tests for static evaluation functions
Thanks for the comment. On Sun, 17 Jan 2010, David Fotland wrote: I think you can only evaluate static evaluation in the context of a search and a tournament between programs. You could start with a simple 1-ply search and play against gnugo. Strength in life and death or predicting pro moves doesn't correlate with the ability to win games. I know of the limited correlation, also it depends how you test the evaluation function. Having only limited time to work on and off on Go I do not have a game-playing program and tested the function on its own on professional games. Anyway, my question was whether people had published any related tests.

The published benchmarks need not be for a static evaluation function in the traditional sense, they could be for an opening book or a MCTS program with very short times available.
