Nicol+N.+Schraudolph

a German computer scientist and consultant in machine learning and [|optimization]. He holds a Ph.D. from [|University of California, San Diego] in 1995 on optimization of [|entropy] with neural networks under advisor Terrence J. Sejnowski. || toc =Learning Go= Along with Peter Dayan and his advisor, Terrence J. Sejnowski, Nicol Schraudolph applied temporal difference learning to an evaluation function in the game of Go, as published in 1994, and in 2001. translation invariance and localized reinforcement to evaluate Go positions. ||
