  • A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI IN GAMES, VOL. 4, NO. 1, MARCH 2012 1 A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods Cameron Browne, Member, IEEE, Edward Powley, Member, IEEE, Daniel Whitehouse, Member, IEEE, Simon Lucas, Senior Member, IEEE, Peter I. Cowling, Member, IEEE, Philipp Rohlfshagen, Stephen Tavener, Diego Perez, Spyridon Samothrakis and Simon Colton Abstract—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a recently proposed search method that combines the precision of tree search with the generality of random sampling. It has received considerable interest due to its spectacular success in the difficult problem of computer Go, but has also proved beneficial in a range of other domains. This paper is a survey of the literature to date, intended to provide a snapshot of the state of the art after the first five years of MCTS research. We outline the core algorithm’s derivation, impart some structure on the many variations and enhancements that have been proposed, and summarise the results from the key game and non-game domains to which MCTS methods have been applied. A number of open research questions indicate that the field is ripe for future work. Index Terms—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), Upper Confidence Bounds (UCB), Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (UCT), Bandit-based methods, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Game search, Computer Go. F 1 INTRODUCTION ONTE Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a method for M finding optimal decisions in a given domain by taking random samples in the decision space and build- ing a search tree according to the results. It has already had a profound impact on Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches for domains that can be represented as trees of sequential decisions, particularly games and planning problems.

  • Competing in a Complex Hidden Role Game with Information Set Monte Carlo Tree Search Jack Reinhardt [email protected] University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota
    Competing in a Complex Hidden Role Game with Information Set Monte Carlo Tree Search Jack Reinhardt [email protected] University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota ABSTRACT separate imperfect information domains – hidden role and card Advances in intelligent game playing agents have led to successes in deck mechanics. The combination of hidden roles and randomness perfect information games like Go and imperfect information games of a card deck gives the game a more complex information model like Poker. The Information Set Monte Carlo Tree Search (ISMCTS) than previously studied games like The Resistance or Werewolf. The family of algorithms outperforms previous algorithms using Monte added complexity provides a challenging test for available imperfect Carlo methods in imperfect information games. In this paper, Single information agents: opponents’ moves might be driven by ulterior Observer Information Set Monte Carlo Tree Search (SO-ISMCTS) is motives stemming from their hidden role, or simply forced by the applied to Secret Hitler, a popular social deduction board game that random card deck. combines traditional hidden role mechanics with the randomness of There are many existing algorithms for imperfect information a card deck. This combination leads to a more complex information domains. Examples include Counterfactual Regret Minimization model than the hidden role and card deck mechanics alone. It is [13], Epistemic Belief Logic [6], and Information Set Monte Carlo shown in 10108 simulated games that SO-ISMCTS plays as well Tree Search [3, 4]. Due to its ability to handle large state spaces and as simpler rule based agents, and demonstrates the potential of produce results in a variable amount of computation time [3], Single ISMCTS algorithms in complicated information set domains.

  • Solitaire: Man Versus Machine
    Solitaire: Man Versus Machine Xiang Yan∗ Persi Diaconis∗ Paat Rusmevichientong† Benjamin Van Roy∗ ∗Stanford University {xyan,persi.diaconis,bvr}@stanford.edu †Cornell University [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we use the rollout method for policy improvement to an- alyze a version of Klondike solitaire. This version, sometimes called thoughtful solitaire, has all cards revealed to the player, but then follows the usual Klondike rules. A strategy that we establish, using iterated roll- outs, wins about twice as many games on average as an expert human player does. 1 Introduction Though proposed more than fifty years ago [1, 7], the effectiveness of the policy improve- ment algorithm remains a mystery. For discounted or average reward Markov decision problems with n states and two possible actions per state, the tightest known worst-case upper bound in terms of n on the number of iterations taken to find an optimal policy is O(2n/n) [9]. This is also the tightest known upper bound for deterministic Markov de- cision problems. It is surprising, however, that there are no known examples of Markov decision problems with two possible actions per state for which more than n + 2 iterations are required. A more intriguing fact is that even for problems with a large number of states – say, in the millions – an optimal policy is often delivered after only half a dozen or so iterations. In problems where n is enormous – say, a googol – this may appear to be a moot point because each iteration requires Ω(n) compute time. In particular, a policy is represented by a table with one action per state and each iteration improves the policy by updating each entry of this table.

The purpose was to quickly identify and name the many existing techniques for further reading. We selected the excellent work of Bruno Bouzy and Tristan Cazenave: “Computer Go: An AI oriented survey” [7], a 50 pages paper published in 2000 where the authors study in depth many approaches used to play the game of Go. The authors start by explaining the rules of Go and showcase a few common strategies used by human players. They introduce others two-player information complete games such as Chess, Checker or Othello and compare their complexity with Go. After the introduction, they systematically describe every technique used in two-player game solvers and asses their results using existing implementations. The paper has an important bibliography of 149 references, all of them directly cited in the text.

  • A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI IN GAMES, VOL. 4, NO. 1, MARCH 2012 1 A Survey of Monte Carlo Tree Search Methods Cameron Browne, Member, IEEE, Edward Powley, Member, IEEE, Daniel Whitehouse, Member, IEEE, Simon Lucas, Senior Member, IEEE, Peter I. Cowling, Member, IEEE, Philipp Rohlfshagen, Stephen Tavener, Diego Perez, Spyridon Samothrakis and Simon Colton Abstract—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a recently proposed search method that combines the precision of tree search with the generality of random sampling. It has received considerable interest due to its spectacular success in the difficult problem of computer Go, but has also proved beneficial in a range of other domains. This paper is a survey of the literature to date, intended to provide a snapshot of the state of the art after the first five years of MCTS research. We outline the core algorithm’s derivation, impart some structure on the many variations and enhancements that have been proposed, and summarise the results from the key game and non-game domains to which MCTS methods have been applied. A number of open research questions indicate that the field is ripe for future work. Index Terms—Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), Upper Confidence Bounds (UCB), Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (UCT), Bandit-based methods, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Game search, Computer Go. F 1INTRODUCTION ONTE Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a method for M finding optimal decisions in a given domain by taking random samples in the decision space and build- ing a search tree according to the results. It has already had a profound impact on Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches for domains that can be represented as trees of sequential decisions, particularly games and planning problems.
