[computer-go] Using Monte Carlo Go/UCT for subgames

Hi, I distantly remember a post, where someone said something about someone (sorry... I know this is really vaque) working on using Monte Carlo Go/UCT to estimate results in subgames, i.e., life death, connection, capture, etc. Does anyone know, if there are any published results on the

I think I remember that post - with the same level of clarity unfortunately. I use UCT for life and death. It comes into play at the scoring phase and in polite games where the engine needs to know when it can pass. (Knowing the score doesn't necessarily mean one knows the status of every

This is how I set up problems for UCT. You can also manipulate komi by using a value that makes finding the right move critical because in some position the right move doesn't actually win or lose the game. - Don On Mon, 2007-04-16 at 11:18 -0400, Álvaro Begué wrote: As part of our testing of
