A positional Judgment System for Computer Go
Shi-Jim Yen, Shun-Chin Hsu · 2003
Computer Go offers researchers a new challenge and opens up a very wide scope of possibilities for artificial intelligence. In a computer Go program, the most important element is a positional judgment system. Following the methods of human Go experts, we designed and implemented a new model of positional judgment for computer Go. This model was employed successfully in a computer Go program, Jimmy-5.0, which beat the latest world-champion Go program, ManyFaces, in the 1998 FOST Go contest.
