Gian-Carlo+Pascutto

a Belgian computer scientist, and computer chess and Go programmer with further interests in [|sound recording and reproduction] and [|digital signal processing]. Gian-Carlo is author of the free open source chess and chess variants engine Sjeng, the chess engine Deep Sjeng, which emerged from the closed source Sjeng 12.7 branch and went commercial in 2003 , the experimental chess engine Stoofvlees, and the Go playing program [|Leela]. More recently, after DeepMind published the AlphaGo Zero paper, Gian-Carlo Pascutto designed and initiated Leela Zero , a Go playing entity using MCTS (but without Monte Carlo playouts) and a deep residual convolutional neural network stack, trained by a public, distributed effort, as LCZero also adapted to chess. || toc =Photos=
