Re: [computer-go] Changing the subject



I work on Orego (http://www.lclark.edu/~drake/go/). I have a bad habit of imagining that some general-purpose machine learning algorithm will let me create a strong Go player without working hard. Trying to break this habit, I've recently revamped my data structures (doubling speed) and plan to build a life and death module this summer. But first I've got this really clever idea involving genetic algorithms...

A couple of things I've been wondering about this mailing list:

- how many people are subscribed to the list? I imagine that someone has easy access to this number.

- how many on the list are actively (say, within the last 6 months) involved in developing a computer Go program? I imagine the only way to figure this out is by a 'show of hands'. I'll kick it off by raising my hand.

BTW, I hereby claim the name GONZO for my program :-)

cheers,
Peter (who believes in search, and global search at that)
