Great! oakfoam had played with CNN already.
Second game vs Aya was difficult semeai with ko.

If C++ one thread do same thing, how slow is it? 10 times slower?

Nick,

I just had the same problem. Gmail is being over helpful by grouping all
emails with the exact same title as a thread. So, goto your Sent folder.
Look for the email with the Subject you just used. Notice there is a number
in parenthesis to the right indicating the number of emails in the
thread. Select that email. Scroll to the bottom. And if it is not already
 expanded, select the final email in the thread, and you should see the
one you sent.

I sure wish there was more options in Gmail around this behavior.

[Computer-go] CNN tool applied in practice

Dear Detlef,


 Todays bot tournament nicego19n (oakfoam) played with a CNN for move 
 prediction.

congratulation to the performance of your bot, and thanks for
letting us know.

Will you let NiceGo play in the KGS computer room against humans
to see how it performs?

Thumbs pressed, Ingo.

Thank you!  That is very useful.  I have found a load of test messages, all
threaded together under the title test.  Serve me right, I guess.

Re: [Computer-go] CNN tool applied in practice

2015-01-12 Thread Detlef Schmicker

Thanks,

I will, but it will take some time.

It is a problem of resources:
As I have holidays in the summer I think of visiting Advances in 
Computer Games 2015 in Leiden.

And I do not want to go there with nothing!
So I need my graphic card for CNN training as I think of doing some 
research on CNN for position evaluation. Hopefully there will be some 
computer go people:)


On the other hand, I did not tune any of the important progressive 
widening parameters for the bot, which would take another week at least...

Re: [Computer-go] Representing Komi for neural network

2015-01-12 Thread Detlef Schmicker

Hi Hiroshi,

I try to layout my approach:
- expandLeaf: expands a leaf node, after being visited 10 times (a 
parameter, but increasing it usually did not harm playing strength 
significantly)


it contains a
if (!expandmutex.try_lock())
return false;

which was in the code anyway to avoid, that the same node was expanded 
by two different threads.
The second thread just works with the not expanded node, if the first 
thread is busy expanding it and goes on with the playout. In this case 
we had some delayed expansion anyway, as this thread is doing the 
playout with the node, which should have been expanded before.


The only thing I changed: expandmutex was a mutex local to the node 
before, now it is a global mutex. Now no node is being expanded, if one 
expansion is in progress by another thread, but the playouts go on with 
the not expanded nodes as usual.


I did not measure how often a node is visited on average now before 
being expanded, but with our relatively slow playouts and the not too 
big CNN I do not think it goes a lot above 15 or so. Tests indicated 
that even 30 for the parameter was not a problem for the playing 
strength before. I think including the CNN does not reduce the 
playouts/move significantly. I did no exact measurements, just was happy 
to see my usual numbers:) Even the 1.6ms used by the CNN will be on 
resources (graphic card) different from the cpu, therefore other threads 
(8 threads on 4 cores) might take the time to use the cpu resources.

Re: [Computer-go] alternative for cgos

2015-01-12 Thread Chris LaRose
Hi,

I'm actually working on something similar at http://baduk.io. Right now,
you can log in an play against a handful of bots over the web, but one day
I'd love to make it so you can add your own bots to let them compete
against the others. It's not quite ready for the public, but I'm working to
get something small working quickly. Unlike CGOS, the bots are all
hosted--they all run inside Docker (http://docker.io/) containers. The
Dockerfiles I've written for a few public bots are available at my github
repository https://github.com/baduk-io/ai-dockerfiles.

What sorts of things would you expect from such a service? I was planning
on modeling baduk.io after CGOS in a lot of ways as far as the rules that
are used (area scoring, no dead stones removed, etc), and distinct ratings
for 9x9, 13x13, and 19x19 boards. What sorts of improvements do you think
could be made in a new service? Do you have a preference for ELO ratings
over kyu/dan ratings?

Won’t hosting limit your usability?  With cgos I can build and immediately test 
on cgos on my development machine.  With your service, how do I get my new 
executable to run?  If my engine uses a GPU or is a multinode cluster, how does 
that run on your docker service?
