MAPLE algorithm enhances AlphaZero for imperfect-information games

Researchers have developed a new tree search method called MAPLE, designed to improve the performance of AlphaZero-style algorithms in imperfect-information games. Unlike previous methods that struggle with strategy fusion or high computational costs, MAPLE aggregates policy and value evaluations from multiple sampled world states within a single search tree. Experiments on Phantom Go and Dark Hex demonstrated significant Elo improvements, showing MAPLE's effectiveness for AlphaZero-like learning in complex games. AI

    MAPLE: Multi-State Aggregated Policy Evaluation for AlphaZero in Imperfect-Information Games

    arXiv:2605.24139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imperfect-information games (IIGs) are challenging, as players must make decisions without fully observing the true game state. While AlphaZero has achieved remarkable success in perfect-information games, extending it to IIGs remai…
