I've mentioned this before, but hopefully not recently enough to make this annoying. Computer go people and corewars people overlap somewhat. Intransitivity is extremely important for corewars, making?corewars a good domain to study it.
Here is an example of a nice graphical way to visualize intransitivities between corewars programs. http://www.koth.org/lcgi-bin/hugetable.pl?hill94x? In corewars, you might look at a table like this and say "Oh, I'm losing too many games against x-type strategy, I need to concentrate on that aspect of my bot." Or you might say, "I'm doing great against y-type strategy, and I'm betting there will be a lot of those in the upcoming tournament." It's more than predicting the outcome of a particular matchup, or a ranking in a static field. We haven't seen strong statistical evidence for intransitivity in computer go, but I don't think anyone has looked very hard yet. - Dave Hillis -----Original Message----- From: Vlad Dumitrescu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: computer-go <computer-go@computer-go.org> Sent: Sun, 6 Jan 2008 5:12 pm Subject: Re: [computer-go] Odd results on 19x19 On Jan 6, 2008 11:00 PM, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The idea of a non one dimension rating model is interesting.

How can you compare two players with a 2-dimensional rating? You can't, so how would one use this rating? In my book, a rating's goal is to make things comparable... best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
