I'm working now in a similar idea. As yours, it will play only in one zone using MC. It will start on 7x7 sub-boards but they will grow once they become full of stones.
I will normalize the sub-board results using its area. It will help me to compare the different sub-boards. Once all the sub-boards get evaluated, it will play in the sub-board with less winning moves (first the urgent, then the important). But the main idea is the same as yours: scale breaking the board down. 2007/1/30, Dave Dyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Here's an idea for scaling up, which should result in "only" factor of 10 slower speed. To scale from 9x9 to 19x19, subdivide the board into four, overlapping 10x10 boards. Run a standard 9x9 monte carlo up to the 90% full stage on each of the four boards, then run a full board monte on the whole board remaining. Treat the ovelapping stripes as edges in a slightly more sophisticated way than usual, becuase you might be connecting to liberties by playing in the stripe. To avoid artifacts caused by the location of the overlaps: the number of zones, and the location of the stripes, is also subject to randomization. It might be interesting to try this on a 9x9 board using a 5x5 zone to begin with. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
