[computer-go] LIBEGo optimum parameters

2008-01-26 Thread Petri Pitkanen
Hello, Has anyone experimented with libego parameters? What would be reasonable starting point on configurations on 19x19 board? I am considering using GnuGo to give the moves MC is allowed to simulate for first couple of plies in simulation and then pure random. Just to see if it makes any sense

Eric Boesch This is probably massive overkill, but one of the most successful techniques for multi-parameter optimization is Taguchi methods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taguchi_methods However, in my experience, starting with the decisions that make the biggest difference, and then adding

By the way, does anybody know of any nifty tools or heuristics for efficient probabilistic multi-parameter optimization? In other words, like multi-dimensional optimization, except instead of your function returning a deterministic value, it returns the result of a Bernoulli trial, and the
