[ Digression: Some ANN architectures are more biologically plausible than others. "Neuromorphic Engineering" is a good search term to see what's going on along those lines. (But for a beginner project, the standard multi-layer perceptron with backpropogation would still be the natural choice.) Neural nets have been called "the second best solution to every problem." That's both criticism and praise. When the objective is to quickly solve the engineering problem at hand and then move on with your life, it can be a handy skill to have. ]

One could use the "simpler and faster methods" to compare against one's own results, before moving up to larger patterns, and patterns combined with features. - Dave Hillis Quoting Petr Baudis <pa...@ucw.cz>: > Hi! > > Is there some "high-level reason" hypothesised about why there are > no successful programs using neural networks in Go? > > I'd also like to ask if someone has a research tip for some > interesting Go sub-problem that could make for a nice beginner neural > networks project. > > Thanks, > > -- > Petr "Pasky" Baudis > A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves. > That's the problem, they need to read them. -- Don Knuth > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ > --Magnus Persson Berlin, Germany _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
