1 Outline Game Playing ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence Fall 2007 Lecture #5 Types of games Playing a perfect game Minimax search Alpha-beta pruning Playing an imperfect game Real-time Imperfect information Chance Russell & Norvig, chapter 6 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 2 Game Problems Games are well-defined search problems Well-defined board configurations (states) Limited set of well-defined moves (actions) Well-defined victory conditions (goal) Values assigned to pieces, moves, outcomes (cost) that are hard to solve by searching A search tree for chess has an average branching factor of 5 An average chess game lasts for 50 moves per player (ply) The average search tree has nodes! ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page Game Problems The opponent He wants to win and make our agent lose We have no control over his actions He prevents us from reaching the optimal solution Introduces uncertainty in the search We don t know what moves the opponent will do We will assume perfect play behaviour ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 4 1

2 Types of Games Game-Playing Strategy Perfect information Imperfect information Deterministic Chess Checkers Go Stratego Battleship Chance Backgammon Monopoly Bridge Poker Scrabble Our agent and the opponent play sequentially We assume the opponent plays perfectly Our agent cannot get to the optimal goal The opponent won t allow it Our agent must find the best achievable goal ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 5 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 6 Payoff (utility) function assigns a value to each leaf node in the tree Value then propagates up to non-leaf nodes Two players MA wants to maximise payoff MIN wants to minimise payoff MA is the player currently looking for a move (i.e. at root of tree) Payoff function Simple 1 = win / 0 = draw / = lose Complex for different victory conditions Win/lose for MA ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 7 O O O O O O ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 8 2

3 MA MIN 1 2 MA Game of Nim Initial state: 7 matches in a pile Each player must divide a pile into two nonempty unequal piles Player who can t do that, loses Payoff +1 win, loss ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 9 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page (max loses) (max wins) +1 (max wins) ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page MA MIN MA MIN Generate entire game tree Compute payoff of leaf nodes For each non-leaf node, from the lowest in the tree to the root If MA level, then assign value of the child with maximum payoff If MIN level, then assign value of the child with minimum payoff At the root, select action with maximum payoff The value of each node is MA the value of the best leaf the current player (MA MIN or MIN) can reach. ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 12

4 Complete, if tree is finite Optimal against a perfect opponent Time complexity = O(b m ) Space complexity = O(bm) But remember, b and m can be huge For chess, b 5 and m 100 Alpha-Beta Pruning MA take the max of its children MIN gives each child the min of its children max(min(,18,5),min(1,15,42),min(56,2,-5)) We don t need to compute the values of all the grandchildren! Only until we find a value lower than the highest child s value max(min(,18,5),min(1,?,?),min(56,2,?)) ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 1 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 14 Alpha-Beta Pruning Maintain values α and β α is the maximum value that MA is assured of at any point in the search β is the minimum value that MIN is assured of at any point in the search Both computed using payoff propagated through the tree Start with α = - and β = As the search goes on, the number of possible values of α and β decreases When β α Current path is not the result of best play by both players, so no need to explore further MA MIN Alpha-Beta Pruning 1.

5 Alpha-Beta Pruning Called as rootvalue = Evaluate(root, -, ) Evaluate(node, α, β) If node is leaf Return payoff If node is MA v = - For each child of node v = max( v, Evaluate(child, α, β) Break if v β α = max(α, v) Return v If node is MIN v = For each child of node v = min( v, Evaluate(child, α, β) ) Break if v α β = min(β, v) Return v ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 17 Alpha-Beta Pruning Efficiency dependant on ordering of children Will check each of MA s children until finding one with a value higher than beta Will check each of MIN s children until finding one with a value lower than alpha Use heuristics to order the nodes to check Check the highest-value children first for MA Check the lowest-value children first for MIN Good ordering can reduce time complexity to O(b d/2 ) Random ordering gives roughly O(b d/4 ) Minimax is O(b d ) ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R.

6 Imperfect Play Real-time or time constraints Chance Hidden information Real-Time Games Sometimes we can t search the entire tree Real-time games Time constraints (playing against a clock) Tree too big (e.g. chess) ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 21 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 22 Real-Time Games Evaluation function Estimate value of a non-leaf node in the tree Cut off search at a given level O < Chess: count value of pieces, available moves, board configurations, ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 2 O Real-Time Generate entire game tree down to maximum number of ply Evaluate lowest nodes For each non-leaf node, from the lowest in the tree to the root If MA level, then assign value of the child with maximum payoff If MIN level, then assign value of the child with minimum payoff At the root, select action with maximum payoff ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 24 6

7 Real-Time Alpha-Beta Pruning Called as rootvalue = Evaluate(root, -, ) Evaluate(node, α, β) If node is at lowest level Return evaluation If node is MA v = - For each child of node v = max( v, Evaluate(child, α, β) Break if v β α = max(α, v) Return v If node is MIN v = For each child of node v = min( v, Evaluate(child, α, β) ) Break if v α β = min(β, v) Return v ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 25 Real-Time Games: Problems Non-quiescent positions Some board configurations cause value to change wildly Solved with quiescence search Expand non-quiescent boards deeper, until you reach stable quiescent boards Horizon effect A singular move is considerably better than all others But a damaging unavoidable move is (or can be pushed) just beyond the search depth limit (the horizon ) Solved with singular extension Expand singular state deeper ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 26 Games of Chance Minimax requires planning for upcoming moves If moves depend on dice rolls, random draws, etc., planning is impossible We need to add all possible outcomes in the tree! Recall ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 27 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 28 7

8 Expectiminimax MA has already rolled the dice and has three possible moves 4.45 Then, MIN rolls the dice There are three possible outcomes to the roll And MIN picks an action based on the roll result ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 29 Expectiminimax ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page Problems with Expectiminimax Problems with Expectiminimax Time complexity: O(b m n m ) n is the number of possible outcomes of a chance node Recall: minimax is O(b m ) Trees can grow very large very quickly Minimax & pruning limits search to likely sequences of actions given perfect play With randomness, there is no likely sequence of actions ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 1 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 2 8

9 Imperfect Information Imperfect Information Algorithms so far require knowing everything about the game In some games, information about the opponent is hidden Cards in poker, pieces in Stratego, etc. We could approximate hidden information to random events The probability that the opponent has a flush, the probability that a piece is a bomb, etc. Then use expectiminimax to get best action 1 2 a b List all possible outcomes, then average best action overall Can lead to irrational behaviour! Possible cases: Road 1 leads to money, road 2-a leads to gold, road 2-b leads to death (rational action is road 2, then a) Road 1 leads to money, road 2-a leads to death, road 2-b leads to gold (rational action is road 2, then b) But the real situation is: Road 1 leads to money, road 2 leads to gold or death (rational action is road 1) ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R. Khoury (2007) Page 4 Imperfect Information It s a useful approximation, but it s not exact! Pros: Works in many cases Doesn t require new techniques to handle information discovery Cons: In reality, hidden information is not the same as random events Can lead to irrational behaviour Imperfect Information Need to handle information Gather information Plan based on what information we will have at a given point in the future Leads to more rational behaviour Acting to gain information Acting to give information to partners Acting to conceal information from the opponents We will learn to do that later in the course ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R.

Khoury (2007) Page 7 ECE457 Applied Artificial Intelligence R.
