In recent years, neural network-guided heuristic search algorithms, such as Monte-Carlo tree search and A$^\*$ search, have achieved significant advancements across diverse practical applications. Due to the challenges stemming from high state-space complexity, sparse training datasets, and incomple…
Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) and reinforcement learning contributed crucially to the success of AlphaGo and AlphaZero, and A$^*$ is a tree search algorithm among the most well-known ones in the classical AI literature. MCTS and A$^*$ both perform heuristic search and are mutually beneficial. Effo…
Reinforcement learning with the help of neural-guided search consumes huge computational resources to achieve remarkable performance. Path consistency (PC), i.e., $f$ values on one optimal path should be identical, was previously imposed on MCTS by PCZero to improve the learning efficiency of AlphaZ…
In recent years, deep reinforcement learning have made great breakthroughs on board games. Still, most of the works require huge computational resources for a large scale of environmental interactions or self-play for the games. This paper aims at building powerful models under a limited amount of s…
