Richard+P.+Cochran

an American computer scientist and software engineer, involved in the [|Real-Time] Linux development and implementation of the [|Precision Time Protocol]. He graduated at Department of Computer and Information Science, [|University of Massachusetts] [|Amherst]. toc =LCF= At UMass Amherst, Richard Cochran worked with Paul E. Utgoff on a new search idea, dubbed //Least-Certainty Heuristic for Selective Search// (**LCF**), a selective best-first algorithm by iterative expansion of leaf nodes, introduced at the 2nd Computer and Games 2000 Conference in [|Hamamatsu], [|Japan]. The algorithm is closest in spirit to conspiracy numbers, but discards buckets of supposed target values in favor of a real-valued approach. It was disappointing that LCF did not produce stronger play than Alpha-Beta while applied to Amazons and Othello.
