Category: 4. Adversarial Search

Alpha-beta pruning is a modified version of the minimax algorithm. It is an optimization technique for the minimax algorithm. As we have seen in the minimax search algorithm that the number of game states it has to examine are exponential in depth of the tree. Since we cannot eliminate the exponent, but we can cut…

Mini-max algorithm is a recursive or backtracking algorithm which is used in decision-making and game theory. It provides an optimal move for the player assuming that opponent is also playing optimally. Mini-Max algorithm uses recursion to search through the game-tree. Min-Max algorithm is mostly used for game playing in AI. Such as Chess, Checkers, tic-tac-toe,…

Adversarial search is a search, where we examine the problem which arises when we try to plan ahead of the world and other agents are planning against us. In previous topics, we have studied the search strategies which are only associated with a single agent that aims to find the solution which often expressed in…
