Rémi Coulom (born 1974) is a French computer scientist,[1][2] once an associate professor of computer science at the Lille 3 University, and the developer of Crazy Stone, a computer Go program.[3]

In 2006, Rémi Coulom described the application of the Monte Carlo method to game-tree search and coined the term Monte Carlo tree search[4] in his paper, “Efficient Selectivity and Backup Operators in Monte-Carlo Tree Search.”[5] He was one of the research supervisors of Aja Huang,[6] who later led the Google DeepMind team that developed AlphaGo. Coulom developed the Whole History Rating system[7] and founded goratings.org, a website providing unofficial historical ratings of Go players in the world.
