Hi Ingo,
I think you are not alone: When I started computer go 4 years ago I
ask a good friend of mine, who did his PhD in Neural Networks back in
the 90s, if I have any chance to use them instead of pattern matching
and he said, they will probably no
This fluctuating sentiment on artificial neural networks is a bit weird;
popularity comes and goes in waves, and many academics appear to be just
following the hype. Most of the stuff I learned on ANN's in the 90s and
early zeros just works, and now we can see that if one throws huge
computational
> Even if you have a lot of hardware, it's *hard* to
make it add value, as anyone who tried to run MCTS on a cluster could
testify - it's not just a matter of throwing it at the problem, and the
challenges aren't just engineering-related either.
For those of us who don't know, could you talk a lit
