Deniz Yuret, a Turkish computer scientist and Assistant Professor at Koç University, Istanbul. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992-2000. His research interests includes machine learning and computational linguistics. At MIT he worked with David McAllester on Conspiracy Number Search and its depth-first enhancement Alpha-Beta Conspiracy Search (ABC search). In his paper The Principle of Pressure in Chess, Deniz Yuret introduces the best-first Pressure Search algorithm, and concerning selectivity further mentions the ACM 1993 and its winner Socrates aka Titan, and corporate experiments with the Socrates team at MIT on new algorithms [1].
