Two of the major motivations for neural-nets in Go are following.
1. Most of the important concepts in Go (at least as used by humans) are fuzzy by nature. Thus, the fuzzy-logic capability of neural-nets make them very attractive. This situation is due to the fact that no effective evaluation functions exist.
2. Knowledge database is very important in a Go program. The capability of neural-nets to extract information make them very interesting. This situation is due to the fact that the brute-force search is not very effective so far.
