Ensemble Determinization in Monte Carlo Tree Search for the Imperfect Information Card Game Magic: The Gathering
<22>An EPSRC Engineering Doctorate resulted with Stainless Games (makers of digital version of Magic the Gathering which topped Playstation charts in June 2012) to further explore these ideas - Stainless injected £20K. Invited tutorial talks on Monte Carlo Tree Search approaches in this paper were given at the Vienna AI summit (top international venue for AI in commercial games) and IEEE CIG (top international venue for academic game AI - with Simon Lucas, Univ. Essex). Fed into more recent work on integration with big data approaches in subsequent £1.2m NEMOG EPSRC project (York/Cass/Durham) with Stainless Games + others.
