报告内容：

Statistical forward planning algorithms provide a simple and generalway to provide competent AI controllers for a variety of games. Examplealgorithms include Monte Carlo Search, Monte Carlo Tree Search, and Rolling Horizon Evolution. They require that the game statecan be copied and advanced (stepped forward) rapidly, a conditionthat is met in many cases. In this talk I will give a briefoverview of the algorithms and then demonstrate the ability ofrolling horizon evolution to play a variety of video games surprisinglywell without the need for any training.This paves the way for automated play testing and analysisas a tool to assist games design, as well as providing decision supportfor complex real-world planning problems.
