[Computer-go] GO AI tutor and programmer needed

2015-12-07 Thread Will Jordan-Cooley
Hey all,

I'm starting work on an app that will make Go more accessible to beginners
and wider range of player types. I'm going to be looking to hire an AI
developer in a couple months. For now, I need someone to talk to about how
Go AI techniques work. I'm looking to play $20/hr for a few Skype and email
discussions about the workings of the Go AI, diving into the specifics of
an Open Source code or something that can be licensed at a reasonable rate.
We can discuss the details of the project and the development gig over the
course of our discussions.

Cheers,
Will

  To be fair, it is mentioned on the slides, though.

 Until 2013 CrazyStone never won a single game against Steenvreter...

  I think _the_ resource people usually use is

http://computer-go.info/h-c/index.html

where I see no mention of Steenvreter, it might be a good idea to let
Nick Wedd know if you want the matches against humans included in the
history of Computer Go. :)


  I understand the frustration (after all, it would be nice to tell the
audience about some strong open source programs too!), but let's realize
that turning a popular Computer Go presentation to an address book style
exhaustive listing of results or even (strong) programs probably
wouldn't work well.

  IMHO one of the best way to improve public perception of Computer Go
and set right any omissions is improving the

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Go

Wikipedia article which has been in a pretty bad shape for long time
now.
