Jahn-Takeshi+Saito

a Japanese German computer scientist, and AI- and game researcher with focus on Monte-Carlo and Proof-Number Search. He studied [|Computational Linguistics] and Artificial Intelligence at [|University of Osnabrück] and received a Master’s thesis on Computer Go in 2005, and a Ph.D. in 2010 on //Solving Difficult Game Positions// at Maastricht University. Along with Guillaume Chaslot, Jahn-Takeshi Saito is author of Go playing program [|Mango] performing Monte-Carlo Tree Search. || toc =Photos=
