Software for visualizing influence and territory

[Javaness2]

Take a look at Bruno Bouzy's work. He has some paper's which will give good starting points.
The initial step of projecting influence is relatively easy, but then you have to factor in life and death status. As far as I know that it is a harder problem.

Sorry to give a useful answer.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you post the link here, if possible.

If you can't find it from google let me know

Pardon me, if I'm mistaken but during the AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol matches, I heard remarks about AlphaGo having a heat map over the entire Go board, to visualise the entire situation.

Anyone have any idea whether this was correct? It would be interesting to see what this visual representation looked like.

The "heat map" was not of influence but of the probability of the next move being played at that location. So in a given position it might think that Black was 43% likely to play move #1, 19% likely to play move #2, etc. This was its "policy network" that was a neural network trained to imitate human games.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Did they make available the heat map for any of the games played? Either against Lee Sedol or Fan Hui?

There are some examples of various heat maps in a specific position in one of the informal games against Fan Hui in Figure 5 of their paper (PDF link).

Many thanks!
