Joel Veness [1]
Joel Veness,
an Australian games programmer, mathematician and computer scientist with a Ph.D. from University of New South Wales (UNSW). He spent two years at the University of Alberta as a postdoc under Michael Bowling, and now works in the UK as research scientist at Google DeepMind [2]. Joel is author of the chess engine Bodo [3], written in C and later C++ [4]. Joel Veness’ chess program Meep based on Bodo is one of the first master-level programs with an evaluation function that was learned entirely from self-play, by bootstrapping from deep searches [5] .
