I disagree with the point that MCTS is a neural network, In my opinion (and i maybe completely off target) One of the essences of neural networks is that the program changes/learns from the games it has played. .
MCTS doesn't have that result, the improvement is only "in-game" The program doesn't learn not to make the same mistake anymore, by MCTS the mistake is hopefully avoided. if MTCS is a neyural network than alpha beta would also qualify. but i may be wrong it is just an opening for a discussion in which we all can learn 2009/11/2 Daniel Burgos <dbur...@gmail.com>: > Well, at its esence a computer is an universal Turing Machine.
