| Abstract (ENG): | To win a board-game or more generally to gain something specific in a given Markov-environment, it is most important to have a policy in choosing and taking actions that leads to one of several qualitative good states. In this paper we describe a novel method to learn a game-winning strategy. The method predicts statistical probabilities to win in given game states using a state-value function that is approximated by a Multi-layer perceptron. Those predictions will improve according to rewards given in terminal states. We have deployed that method in the game Connect Four and have compared its game-performance with Velena [5]. |
