Article Proposal
For my article proposal, I have chosen an article that I have evaluated in a previous assignment, Leela Chess Zero. This is a start-class article with great but little information and can be improved upon to become better. One of the things that could be added, as seen in my first source, is the growth of the Leela Chess Zero engine, which I will refer to as the Lc0 engine. This can add to the history of how Lc0 has grown from the amount of games it has played and how the rating level of the engine has grown significantly over time. What also can be added is how the learning algorithm within the Lc0 engine has acquired some human-like attributes. For instance, Lc0 has mocked one of the opponents it was playing against, somewhat like a human player, which could lead to research about AI learning and human thought. Some other small bits of information could be added using the other sources I have added, like more information about the history and competition of the Lc0 engine.

Comments from Dr. Vetter
Hey Luke. Nice proposal and bibliography here. This is the kind of topic that will be more difficult to find sources through the library for (although we can certainly try a few searches). I think the web sources you've found are actually pretty good though. The New Yorker and The Wire are both legit/well-respected sources. Don't know as much about chessdom.com; perhaps we can look at that together. The lczero is a good source but refrain from bringing in claims from that source that might be more controversial (if that makes sense) because there is some bias there in terms of how that organziation might want to promote lz0. Let's see if we can find a few more sources together during the conference. Thanks for your hard work! -Dr. Vetter
