computer-go: Master Thesis about Go in Japan

[Måns Ullerstam <mans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am interested in writing my Master Thesis about Go. My goal is to go
to Japan next fall and work with my Master Thesis and study Go at the
same time.

My focus areas are Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning and
Genetic Algorithms. I have worked in the Gnugo project and the idea is
to use Gnugo as the basis for my work and try different interesting AI
approaches to enhance the level of play.

I have heard that there is some research going on in Japan with Go and
hopefully someone on this list can help me finding a project or research
group interested in my skills.
