Re: computer-go: Master Thesis about Go in Japan

["Peter Shotwell" <Shotwell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
One person to contact is Yasuki Saito at yaski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx He was
working on a project and probably knows others who are involved. If that
email address is out of date, try to get it from Jay Burmeister at
jay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Also, my paper at www.usgo.org in the Resources/Bob High Memorial Library
section is an attempt to survey the current scene and mentions some Japanese
work.
Have fun!
