Value Function Transfer for General Game Playing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present value function transfer techniques for General Game Playing (GGP) by Reinforcement Learning. We focus on 2 player, alternate-move, complete information board games and use the GGP simulator and framework. Our approach is two-pronged: first we extract knowledge about crucial regions in the value-function space of any game in the genre. Then for each target game, we generate a smaller version of this game and extract symmetry information from the board setup. The combined knowledge of value function and symmetry allows us to achieve significant transfer via Reinforcement Learning, to larger board games using only a limited size of state-space by virtue of exploiting symmetry.

General Game Learning Using Knowledge Transfer
We present a reinforcement learning game player that can interact with a General Game Playing system and transfer knowledge learned in one game to expedite learning in many other games. We use the technique of value-function transfer where general features are extracted from the state space of a previous game and matched with the completely different state space of a new game. To capture the un...
متن کاملNeural Networks for State Evaluation in General Game Playing
Unlike traditional game playing, General Game Playing is concerned with agents capable of playing classes of games. Given the rules of an unknown game, the agent is supposed to play well without human intervention. For this purpose, agent systems that use deterministic game tree search need to automatically construct a state value function to guide search. Successful systems of this type use ev...
متن کاملGraph-Based Domain Mapping for Transfer Learning in General Games
A general game player is an agent capable of taking as input a description of a game’s rules in a formal language and proceeding to play without any subsequent human input. To do well, an agent should learn from experience with past games and transfer the learned knowledge to new problems. We introduce a graph-based method for identifying previously encountered games and prove its robustness fo...

متن کاملFluxplayer: A Successful General Game Player
General Game Playing (GGP) is the art of designing programs that are capable of playing previously unknown games of a wide variety by being told nothing but the rules of the game. This is in contrast to traditional computer game players like Deep Blue, which are designed for a particular game and can’t adapt automatically to modifications of the rules, let alone play completely different games....
