It's still going on. The subject is the japanese board game go. Go, due to its complexity (19x19 board, as opposed to for example chess which is 8x8), doesn't have very good computer AI yet. So we're working on ways to speed up the computations. More specifically, I'm using relevance zones for this effect.
Difficult problem. Very cool.

My course work has danced around AI. I've only had an introductory course in AI so I'm not familiar with relevance zones specifically.

Good luck
