Counting the Score: Position Evaluation in Computer Go
نویسنده
چکیده
Position evaluation is a critical component of Go programs. This paper describes both the exact and the heuristic methods for position evaluation that are used in the Go program Explorer, and outlines some requirements for developing better Go evaluation functions in the future.

Accuracy Evaluation of The Depth of Six Kinds of Sperm Counting Chambers for both Manual and Computer-Aided Semen Analyses
Background Although the depth of the counting chamber is an important factor influencing sperm counting, no research has yet been reported on the measurement and comparison of the depth of the chamber. We measured the exact depths of six kinds of sperm counting chambers and evaluated their accuracy. MaterialsAndMethods In this prospective study, the depths of six kinds of sperm counting chamber...
متن کاملStrategic Evaluation in Complex Domains
In some complex domains, like the game of Go, evaluating a position is not simple. In other games, like Chess for example, material balance gives good and fast to compute insight on the value of a position. In Go all the stones have the same value, so material balance is not a good heuristic. To evaluate a Go position, a computer needs a lot of knowledge and much more time. Evaluation in comput...

متن کاملTemporal Difference Learning of Position Evaluation in the Game of Go
The game of Go has a high branching factor that defeats the tree search approach used in computer chess, and long-range spatiotemporal interactions that make position evaluation extremely difficult. Development of conventional Go programs is hampered by their knowledge-intensive nature. We demonstrate a viable alternative by training networks to evaluate Go positions via temporal difference (TD...
