From the short description, it looks like a project from Google about training a deep network to play the game. The resulting bot was quite strong (or at least, quite strong for not using Monte Carlo tree search, at least). Without any more details though, it's hard to tell.

Here is the paper for Google's DNN-based move evaluation in Go: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~cmaddis/pubs/deepgo.pdf

Thanks, I wasn't sure where I had the reference.

Very cool. I wrote a Go playing game for the Apple II which I sold. I have recently become interested, again, in Go programming. I have started setting up a framework for using GnuGo to generate training data for a deep learning network. I am starting with a tiny 7x7 board just to see if the general approach works. If it works (at all) then I will post the entire project to github.

Cool. I recently started working on a command line Go program. Mainly for learning Haskell and without any AI, yet. https://github.com/tsujigiri/gosh

Great! Thank you!

Go should just be labeled Gogame in contrast to Golang.

> Go should just be labeled Gogame in contrast to Golang.

At the same time, there's something amusing about the idea that a six year-old programming language should cause a 2000 year old game to change its name.

After a few months of playing ... it's as good as a very strong human player.

This is potentially a really big breakthrough if true, as Go is much harder than Chess computationally. Nobody knows about Go in the West though so don't expect any headlines.

Fun! I have a Haskell Go web app. It has a super experimental AI that can't actually win that I only spent a couple of hours on: https://github.com/tinco/ergo
