A Small Go Board Study of Metric and Dimensional Evaluation Functions
The difficulty to write successful 19x19 go programs lies not only in the combinatorial complexity of go but also in the complexity of designing a good evaluation function containi...

Evolving Neural Networks to Focus Minimax Search
Neural networks were evolved through genetic algorithms to focus minimax search in the game of Othello. At each level of the search tree, the focus networks decide which moves are...

On the Well-Behavedness of Important Attribute Evaluation Functions
The class of well-behaved evaluation functions simplifies and makes efficient the handling of numerical attributes; for them it suffices to concentrate on the boundary points in...
