New Monte Carlo Permutation Search Algorithm Outperforms GRAVE

Researchers have introduced Monte Carlo Permutation Search (MCPS), a novel Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm designed to enhance performance in scenarios where deep reinforcement learning is not feasible or computational resources are limited, such as in General Game Playing. MCPS integrates statistics from all playouts containing moves from the root to the current node into its exploration term, aiming to outperform existing methods like GRAVE. Evaluations across various games including Hex, Go, and AtariGo demonstrated MCPS's superior performance over GRAVE, with mathematical derivations provided to support the improved weighting formulas.

    Monte Carlo Permutation Search

    arXiv:2510.06381v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose Monte Carlo Permutation Search (MCPS), a general-purpose Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm that improves upon the GRAVE algorithm. MCPS is relevant when deep reinforcement learning is not an option or whe…
