Study Notes
Multi-Agent Environments
- Multi-agent environments can be either cooperative or competitive
- In competitive environments, agents have conflicting goals, leading to adversarial search, also known as game-playing search
Adversarial Search
- Adversarial search involves deciding on the best move to make, assuming:
- MAX wants to maximize the payoff function
- MIN wants to minimize the payoff function
- The assumption is made that each player plays perfectly, i.e., in their own best interest at each step
Minimax Algorithm
- The Minimax algorithm returns the action corresponding to the best possible move, leading to the outcome with the best utility
- It assumes the opponent plays to minimize utility
- The functions Max-Value and Min-Value go through the whole game tree to determine the backed-up value of a state
Properties of the Minimax Search Algorithm
- Not specified in the text, but could be explored further in studies
Alpha-Beta Pruning
- A method used to optimize the Minimax algorithm
- Not fully explained in the text, but could be explored further in studies
