Abstract
The Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm became prominent in the 2010s by facilitating the first AI players capable of human-level play in the game of Go. Most notably, it provided a key component of the DeepMind AlphaGo player that famously defeated Lee Sedol in a 5-game Go series in 2016. This talk will explain the MCTS algorithm and contextualize it by contrasting it with more traditional game techniques and other Monte-Carlo techniques.
