Combining Monte-Carlo Tree Search with Proof-Number Search
Proof-Number Search (PNS) and Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) have been successfully applied for decision making in a range of games. This paper proposes a new approach called PN-MCTS that combines these two tree-search methods by incorporating the concept of proof and disproof numbers into the UCT formula of MCTS. Experimental results demonstrate that PN-MCTS outperforms basic MCTS in several games including Lines of Action, MiniShogi, Knightthrough, and Awari, achieving win rates up to 94.0%.
