[computer-go] Automated genetic parameters tuning

[dhillismail at netscape.net]

It's almost always better to just write your own. Or you might want to consider using a particle swarm optimizer instead.
http://www particleswarm.info/Standard_PSO_2006.c?has source code I found useful.
http://www.particleswarm.info/Programs.html?has lots of other implementations to choose from.

Either way, coding it up is easy; deciding on a practical fitness function is hard.

  Hi,

  does anyone know of any pre-made open framework using genetic
algorithms that one could use to tune various parameters of a bot? I
have about 6 independent parameters for my bot so far that I would like
to find best values for (from domain-specific knowledge hint rates to p
parameter of the UCB1 formula), and I would hate to do redundant work
implementing such a framework on my own.

  Thank you,
