Repairing General Game Descriptions (extended version)

Yifan He, Munyque Mittelmann, Aniello Murano +2

The Game Description Language (GDL) is a widely used formalism for specifying the rules of general games. Writing correct GDL descriptions can be challenging, especially for non-ex…

Polynomial Prenexing of QBFs with Non-Monotone Boolean Operators

Abdallah Saffidine, Andreas Herzig

It is well-known that every quantified boolean formula (QBF) can be transformed into a prenex QBF whose only boolean operators are negation, conjunction, and disjunction. It is als…

An Improved Upper Bound on the Threshold Bias of the Oriented-cycle Game

Anita Liebenau, Abdallah Saffidine, Jeffrey Yang

We study the -biased Oriented-cycle game where two players, OMaker and OBreaker, take turns directing the edges of (the complete graph on vertices). In each round, OMa…

Enhancing Reinforcement Learning Through Guided Search

Jérôme Arjonilla, Abdallah Saffidine, Tristan Cazenave

With the aim of improving performance in Markov Decision Problem in an Off-Policy setting, we suggest taking inspiration from what is done in Offline Reinforcement Learning (RL). I…

Perfect Information Monte Carlo with Postponing Reasoning

Jérôme Arjonilla, Abdallah Saffidine, Tristan Cazenave

Imperfect information games, such as Bridge and Skat, present challenges due to state-space explosion and hidden information, posing formidable obstacles for search algorithms. Det…

Positional Games and QBF: A Polished Encoding

Valentin Mayer-Eichberger, Abdallah Saffidine

Positional games are a mathematical class of two-player games comprising Tic-tac-toe and its generalizations. We propose a novel encoding of these games into Quantified Boolean For…
