Popis: | Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a heuristic search algorithm that can play a wide range of games without requiring any domain-specific knowledge. However, MCTS tends to struggle in very complicated games due to an exponentially increasing branching factor. A promising solution for this problem is to focus the search only on a small fraction of states. Subgoal Monte Carlo Tree Search (S-MCTS) achieves this by using a predefined subgoal-predicate that detects promising states called subgoals. However, not only does this make S-MCTS domaindependent, but also it is often difficult to define a good predicate. In this paper, we propose using quality diversity (QD) algorithms to detect subgoals in real-time. Furthermore, we show how integrating QD-algorithms into S-MCTS significantly improves its performance in the Physical Travelling Salesmen Problem without requiring any domain-specific knowledge. |
