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

[David Stern]

Akihiro has kindly agreed for us to film his talk and make it available.  I
should be able to put it online somewhere - I will let you know when this is
done.

 

Best,

David

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 :)

TITLE: Developing the Best Life and Death Solver in Go

DATE: 13 November 2007

Computer Go is one of the ultimate challenges for games research. Despite of
a lot of efforts for building state of the art programs, Go is still
resistant to current AI techniques, even for solving subproblems such as 
Life and Death, or tsume-Go. This talk presents the techniques behind
TsumeGo Explorer, a high-performance tsume-Go solver. TsumeGo Explorer uses
df-pn(r), a new search algorithm that improves the depth-first proof-number 
search algorithm. The program also contains domain-dependent enhancements.
In empirical tests, TsumeGo Explorer out performs GoTools, which has been
the undisputedly best tsume-Go solver for the last 15 years.
