Alpha-beta (AB) pruning is an improvised version of the Minimax algorithm. The search optimization technique employed by this pruning algorithm cuts down the spread of search and reduces the computation time co
OVERCOMING ALPHA-BETA LIMITATIONS USING EVOLVED ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS Link to this paper We trained a feed-forward neural network to play checkers. The network acts as both the value function for a min-max algorithm and a heuristic for pruning tree branches in a reinforcement learning setting...
