[computer-go] UCB1-Tuned distribution

It seems that the UCB1-Tuned algorithm uses variance from a normal distribution, however we believe it would be more optimal to use variance from a beta distribution. Has any work been done in this area? Are people still using UCB1-Tuned to guide their explorations of moves? Thanks, John

I never used it. I wrote my code after Mogo said they had abandoned it, so I never even tried it. David -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:computer-go- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Stogin Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 10:45 AM To: computer-go@computer-go.org
