My diploma thesis - Human method evaluator

Submitted by StefanPochmann on Fri, 05/02/2008 - 14:52.
Recently I finished my diploma thesis. It's about Hume, a program I wrote for evaluating human solving methods for twisty puzzles. The main goal is to let the user describe a method in a minimal way so that new method ideas can be tested quickly and with ease. The program fills in all the dirty work. So far it's less powerful than I'd like it to be, but I'm happy with what I got from it so far, and I'm happy with my thesis (my professor liked it very much, too, which made me even happier). The thesis is online now, the program will follow soon:

Cheers!

Well-written thesis; I enjoyed reading it. Have you already had your defense?

Defense?

Submitted by StefanPochmann on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 10:22.
I don't think there'll be a defense. German diploma is roughly equivalent to a masters degree, it's not a doctoral dissertation or so. My supervising professor already decided on the grade (he liked it very much) and while I'll give a talk on it in a seminar soon, I don't think that one matters.

And yes, of course I had the international cubing community in mind when I decided to write in English. Same reason my homepage is English - writing German would be a waste. Also, I'm so used talking/writing about cubing in English that it might've actually been harder to do in German.
