The position evaluation heuristic was developed using machine learning, but it was also combined with more 'traditional' algorithms (meaning the monte-carlo algorithm). So it was built specifically to play go (in the same way deep blue used tree searching specifically to play chess.....though tree searching is applicable in other domains).
