'''Kristian Kersting''',<br/>
a German computer scientist and professor at Computer Science Department, [[Darmstadt University of Technology|TU Darmstadt]] and head of its Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) lab <ref>[https://ml-research.github.io/people/kkersting/index.html Kristian Kersting]</ref>.
He received his Ph.D. from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Freiburg University of Freiburg] on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_logic_programming inductive logic programming] in 2006 under advisor [[Mathematician#LDRaedt|Luc De Raedt]],
and had appointments at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]], [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer-Institut_f%C3%BCr_Intelligente_Analyse-_und_Informationssysteme Fraunhofer IAIS], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bonn University of Bonn], and [[University of Dortmund|TU Dortmund]].
His main research interests are in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_relational_learning statistical relational learning] and [[Artificial Intelligence|artificial intelligence]], and [[Deep Learning|deep learning]].
Along with [[Johannes Fürnkranz]], he led the ''Deep Learning: Methods and Architectures'' course in 2018, and supported his students [[Johannes Czech]], [[Moritz Willig]] and [[Alena Beyer]] in developing
the deep learning [[Chess#Variants|chess variant]] engine [[CrazyAra]], which won a five game Crazyhouse online-match versus [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Tan Justin Tan] aka JannLee with 4-1

Subsequently, he supported his students Johannes Czech and [[Patrick Korus]] on an improvement of [[AlphaZero|AlphaZero's]] [[Monte-Carlo Tree Search|MCTS]] / [[Christopher D. Rosin#PUCT|PUCT]] algorithm considering [[Transposition|transpositions]], optionally applied in CrazyAra.
