Integrating Factorization Ranked Features in MCTS: An Experimental Study.
Chenjun Xiao, Martin Müller · International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2016
Recently, Factorization Bradley-Terry (FBT) model is introduced for fast move prediction in the game of Go. It has been shown that FBT outperforms the state-of-the-art fast move prediction system of Latent Factor Ranking (LFR). In this paper, we investigate the problem of integrating feature knowledge learned by FBT model in Monte Carlo Tree Search. We use the open source Go program Fuego as the test platform. Experimental results show that the FBT knowledge is useful in improving the performance of Fuego.
