It'd be an interesting experiment to see if you can train a neural network to be shown a large set of final positions (*) from each of A: pro, B: 10-15kyu, and C: random player, and be able to categorize them correctly. My guess would've been that A and B look very similar, but unfortunately I don't have the time to investigate currently. Darren *: To avoid a bias due to pros recognizing and resigning lost games earlier, it'd have to be games that were actually scored and the size of the win was no more than around 4 pts. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
