playout/elo.c

   1 /* Playout player based on probability distribution generated over
   2  * the available moves. */
   3
   4 /* We use the ELO-based (Coulom, 2007) approach, where each board
   5  * feature (matched pattern, self-atari, capture, MC owner?, ...)
   6  * is pre-assigned "playing strength" (gamma).
   7  *
   8  * Then, the problem of choosing a move is basically a team
   9  * competition in ELO terms - each spot is represented by a team
  10  * of features appearing there; the team gamma is product of feature
  11  * gammas. The team gammas make for a probability distribution of
  12  * moves to be played.
  13  *
  14  * We use the general pattern classifier that will find the features
  15  * for us, and external datasets that can be harvested from a set
  16  * of game records (see the HACKING file for details): patterns.spat
  17  * as a dictionary of spatial stone configurations, and patterns.gamma
  18  * with strengths of particular features. */
