[computer-go] FW: Microsoft Research Lectures: Akihiro Kishimoto, Future University-Hakodate

[Adrian Petrescu]

As a public lectures, do these things get recorded and posted online
anywhere, Google Techtalk-style? This looks like a really interesting talk,
but I live nowhere near where this is being held. Is there any way at all?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention at any rate :)
