You can have multiple kos on the board. Two is the most usual case that doesn't trigger other rules. Easiest (logically, not practically, perhaps) is to never repeat a board position ever (so called superko, I think), which could be implemented as a full-board-position hash. s. On Mar 11, 2015 10:

Can you say anything about whether you think their approach to unsupervised learning could be applied to networks similar to those you trained? Any practical or theoretical constraints we should be aware of? On Monday, 16 March 2015, Aja Huang wrote: > Hello Oliver, > > 2015-03-16 11:58 GMT+00:0

What an unfortunate game against the human opponent. The trouble started early with the tight low pincer at move 12. The way black could press down on that move is what created the incentive for CS to play the totally unreasonable invasion on the right a little later. Stefan On Mon, Mar 16, 201

I am also interested in unsupervised learning. When this first came up, I found this paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.5602v1.pdf, where the authors taught a deep convolutional network to play games from the Atari console. They used what they call "Deep Reinforcement Learning", a variant of Q-learni

Lukasz, They are not newcomers. See KGS Annual championship ranking, for example. Nomitan and DolBaram have KGS rank 3d and 5d, resp. in blitz games. #DolBaram registered last UEC Cup but didn't come to the venue :D The reason Zen lost against Nomitan was, as far as I've studied, just a ha
