If you require GPU support on Ubuntu, please also install Bazel (from https://github.com/FloopCZ/tensorflow_cc) Thanks for correcting me! But at least it's a one time use and you don't need to integrate Bazel into your own project build. I've also just found another package that is installable on D...

LeelaChessZero uses the 3rd party tensorflow_cc wrapper library around the official Tensorflow C++ API, to avoid the Bazel build stuff. See https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lc0/blob/master/tensorflow.md Thanks for the link. Bazel is still necessary to build the library itself. This is in fact what...

I developed my own home-made C++ deep-learning framework just to be able to do that. I used tensorflow for a while, but it was too painful to use from C++. What you describe can be done with tensorflow, but last time I tried, I had to use undocumented/unsupported features of the low-level C++ tenso...

Thanks, looking forward to it. You have a knack for raising such intricate points.

@hgm, you post a lengthy analysis, two people respond, and then you drop the subject? Nothing of interest to comment on?

In Stratego, there is a similar problem with such interposing attacks that lead to nowhere. There is the rule that you can't do more than 3 consecutive moves with the same piece between 2 squares. To implement this, the position struct keeps track of a small circular buffer of the last 3 squares per...

HOW IT CAN BE DONE USING ONLY ONE THREAD From any given position using more shallow alpha-beta searches play a game of chess (or fragment of a game) until a decisive (or pseudo decisive) result. Add the moves into a tree structure in ram updating the the RL values. Play as many games as possible in...

So why is it that A0's learning curve seems to flatten to almost no progress beyond it's current level? If e.g. the number of layers or channels is expanded, would you expect that a few hundred Elo more could be obtained? Or is A0 approaching perfection with its current network and is an absolute up...

Oh and speaking of ISO, if you want to read the C++ standard, you have to buy it :) It should be a good read, most likely more pages than War and Peace Nobody buys the official Standard, the latent draft is always freely available: https://github.com/cplusplus/draft (unders papers, most recent doc)...

I’ve been wanting to try https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt
There is an ongoing attempt to have this in the next C++ Standard.
