Abstract

This paper provides an accessible explanation of the working mechanism of Monte-Carlo Tree Search, an influential search algorithm. The paper summarizes the procedure of Monte-Carlo Tree Search, including selection, expansion, simulation, and backpropagation. Additionally, immersive examples based on Tic-Tac-Toe, Go, and Sokoban, two two-player competitive games and a classic single-player puzzle game, are presented to illustrate how Monte-Carlo Tree Search works. The full article with interactive contents is published on IEEE Xplore.
