Multipurpose Strategic Planning In the Game of Go Paper presentation Authors: Shui Hu and Paul E. Lehner Presentation by: Adi Botea
Outline • Introduction • Description of the Approach • Example • Conclusion
Introduction • Go = strategy + tactics • Current Go programs: • Valuable work in tactics BUT… • Lack of strategic focus • So, this paper proposes: • Strategic & tactical planning in Go • A new approach on multipurpose moves
General Description of the Approach • Static analysis to determine possible goals • Dynamic look ahead to further estimate goal consequences • Evaluate goals and goal interactions • Select the best strategy (goal or set of goals) • Perform detailed look ahead to find the best way to implement the plan
More Details on Approach • Object hierarchies: • Stones, strings, chains, and groups • Current Goal Structures (CGSs) • Hierarchies that characterize goals that may be pursued in a given position
Static Goal Generation Example of strategic goal definition Example of tactical goal definition
Look Ahead Algorithm • Similar to tactical search • Goal Stacks for both players • Given a hypothetical position:
Conclusion & Results • Multipurpose planning in Go • Includes strategy formalization • Catches interactions between moves • Reasonable computational complexity • Planner “is very strong on […] selected problems”
