...

With all due respect, that list doesn't make any sense in the extreme part of the handicaps as is often the case with formulas applied too systematically. It says that ONE CAT is weaker than TWO rabbits yet ONE CAT plus ONE RABBIT is STRONGER THAN Three rabbits. How can anybody rely on such absurd results? Either the difference between two rabbits or a cat is so insignificant that it would explain the bizarre switch or we are in the domain of the formula where the uncertainty outweighs the significant part of the number. Something like .5 give or take 1 for a number for instance. That happens all the time in mathematics, the data is so lacking in precision that you start getting results that don't make any sense.
 
Besides another thing that makes me think that the formula is based on a systematic application that is detached from reality is that you need at least one rabbit in your pieces or you have lost the game BEFORE you even started so when you stop to think about it how can the program even judge that a lone cat is stronger than a lone rabbit when the lone cat means that you have exactly ZERO chance of winning the game? That doesn’t make any sense. I say that formula is unreliable when it comes to BIG handicaps and shouldn’t be used to settle a dispute. In fact, there is also one detail that isn’t taken into account in your formula and that is that I WAS THE FIRST to come up with my result, that should count for something. Had 99 won the three rabbit first we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. I found a solution to a problem that 99 was UNABLE to resolve with less than FOUR rabbits plus a CAT, a solution that put it down to ONE rabbit and one CAT. And I’d have known how to solve the three rabbit problem if I had been informed that it was a possibility. You keep forgetting that the only reason 99 got the three rabbit and not I, is because that I didn’t know that I needed to resolve it. This is a case that we have NEVER encountered in handicap situations.
 
Someone not getting a record not because of lack of skill or unwillingness but because of not being made aware that he was to get it. In my game all the problems are resolved I would have found the solution even faster than 99 because I had already studied the case. I am the true holder of the record be it CR or RRR they both belong to me because I have being deceived into believing that I had won. Nobody neither 99 nor anyone else said anything about the record being beatable. In American law, you have something that can nullify a trial that is called “unfair surprise”, well that’s exactly what happened to me I have been robbed of the result because of unfair surprise and not beaten on skills but on that stupid unfair surprise and nothing else. 99 merits are exactly ZERO in that affair. If you take a look at his solution you can see that a child could have deduce is from mine. Before my attempt 99 didn’t even DARE to try with less than cat plus FOUR rabbits and all of a sudden THANKS TO ME he tries three rabbits!!! What made him make that leap of faith between FOUR rabbits plus cat to THREE rabbits without CAT. I have been dispossessed of my victory by something that disgusts me just to think about it. Ever see Amadeus? I am Mozart been stolen his final requiem by a poisonous Salieri, that’s what I am. Whatever way you look at it, the hall of fame belongs to me on that one. Salieri didn’t even know that he could do it with less than FOUR rabbits and a CAT before I came along and now since as Mozart was himself I am hated by some here, I will be deprived of my due victory because of that travesty of a contest.

To sum up what I said in a few words. This case is pretty simple. I did come up with the solution to CR and that solution slightly adapted also works for RRR. I didn't play the latter NOT because I couldn't or was unwilling to but because I DIDN'T KNOW that I HAD TO. That’s the only reason. There is no way in hell that 99 could have had this RRR game if not for me being kept in the dark, be it accidentally or on purpose is not really the point. The point is that the reason why 99 played this game and NOT ME has nothing to do whatsoever with merits and everything to do with someone being deprived of his due victory. The CR belongs to me as well as the RRR which is only a variation of it. Thanks to me 99 knew how the rabbits of Gnobot would react because they reacted in both cases mine and his in a similar fashion. I am sick of having to explain again and again something that is so obvious. It doesn't matter actually if 99 did what he did on purpose or because he is just lacking of a conscience that tells him that some things cross a line. The result is that I have been deprived of my due victory in both cases. Because I didn't have the information that it was even useful for me to play this game.
 
NOBODY here has ever been subjected to an injustice like that. Have a shred of honesty and ADMIT IT!!! The fact that you don't like me shouldn't be factored in unless you consider that Arimaa is a popularity contest where merits take a back seat. However, if you do then you are a far worse people than I'll ever be!!!!

You'll need to keep the number of nodes in that network very low, otherwise you'll overtrain badly.    There just isn't enough data.
 
The number of possible material state combinations is extremely high, and the majority of them have never occurred in any game.  I discovered this when I did research in 2006 into optimizing the coefficients of material evaluators based on the game statistics.  Even when there were only a few coefficients, like DAPE which has 7 coefficients, we saw some bad overtraining and/or sensitivity to data selection, and had to start implementing interesting constraints on the selection of games we used in order to get results that made any sense.
 
At some point soon, I hope to re-run those numbers, by the way.  There have been two more years of games now, it would be nice to see if the results have changed significantly.

Just a quick mention that I would personally much disregard all the results in this thread that used results from the original formulations of DAPE and FAME.  When I dug into this in 2006 I found that those algorithms misrepresented the results from real games relative to algorithms with correctly tuned coefficients.
 
Using the ones on Janzert's calendar, the improvement (in terms of correctly predicting the outcome of games in the database) of optimized DAPE, or LinearAB (my function) over DAPE or FAME was significantly greater than the improvement DAPE or FAME gives over simply counting all the pieces (i.e. considering all pieces worth 1.0 point regardless of size).

If you rank the 114 major handicaps for the LinearAB function, I can redo the analysis using only LinearAB and DAPE (optimized).

I've never been convinced that this wasn't simply because of overfitting. I think the number of games and range of games we have available is still just too small to try and train a general method from.

Anything's possible.   But LinearAB only has two parameters, A (the cat-to-rabbit ratio) and B (the ratio used for all subsequent levels; i.e. D/C, H/D, M/H and E/M).   And it's pretty hard to overfit data with only two coefficients.    
 
Maybe when I get around to rerunning this I can use some part of the data for overfit testing during the optimization.   I doubt we'll see much difference.   When we looked at the particular cases that the optimized functions preferred over the guessed-at ones, they seemed pretty reasonable to me.
 
Rather than overfitting, I think you could make a better case that the games themselves don't actually represent the true value of the pieces very well; Karl made a good argument from causality in this vein.  (i.e. if getting ahead and being likely to win, or simply being a stronger player, makes certain captures more likely irrespective of winning, it would make those captures appear arbitrarily valuable in the analysis.)  
 
But that's a fundamental limitation of using statistics from the games to answer questions like these.  There isn't really anything you can do about it.

If you want to do it, here's how LinearAB will rank the pieces.   For the case of beginning-game sacrifice, you can simply add the following values of the pieces to achieve the LinearAB score.   (A=1.241,  B=1.316).  
 
rabbit 1.000
cat 1.241
dog 1.633
horse 2.149
camel 2.828
elephant 3.722
 
(Note that this won't give you the correct LinearAB score once the opponent starts losing pieces because it will ignore 'level collapse', i.e. the fact that EHHRerrr is functionally identical to ECCRerrr.  But for game-start sacrifice, there is no level collapse because the opposing team is full.)
 
I'm sure this system misvalues elephants because the E/M ratio is fixed to B.  When I made an alternate optimization that allowed E to vary independently it settled on E~7.5.  I doubt that's anything like accurate, though, because there are so few actual examples of E sacrifice to compare against.

I agree, and because of this limitation, I think you should be slower to "disregard" the evals which were hand optimized by experts!  I'm looking forward to getting back to this conversation when you've run with more data.

Since there is disagreement on this one, I will take a back seat for now and let you guys sort out which evals are more reliable than others.  Is there any way to compare their predictions with real games and see which one was better?

Yes, it's possible, and that is in fact how the coefficients for LinearAB and Optimized DAPE were developed.   Existing evals were repeatedly modified (by tweaking the numbers) and measured as to how well they predicted the eventual winner in real games from the database.  That cycle was repeated until the eval functions stopped getting "better".
 
At the end of that process on several eval functions, Optimized DAPE (as implemented on Janzert's page) was the best overall at guessing the winner among games in the history database.   LinearAB was a bit behind that in 2nd place.  Both did much better than the hand-coded versions.
 
The debate is whether or not that process is valid in order to determine a material eval function.   Karl and Toby are less sure about that than I am.  I recognize their concerns that might make the process invalid, but I suspect it still is.  There's no way to prove it one way or the other.  Smiley

Were the game that were looked at human vs human games?  bot vs bot games? human vs bot games? or all 3?
 
I can't wait to see what your results will bring when you re-run the analysis.  There are quite a few more E handicap games in the database, thanks to me.  Grin
