Deep learning in Monte Carlo Tree Search

Even with MCTS-UCT, computers could still not even come close to beating the best Go players; however, in 2016, a team from Google Deep Mind developed an AI they called AlphaGo. It defeated Lee Sedol, the world's top Go player, over a five game series, winning 4-1. The way they did this was using three improvements over the standard MCTS UCT approach.

If we were to think about why MCTS is so inaccurate, an intuitive answer that might arise is that the moves used in the evaluation are selected randomly when we know that some moves are much more likelier than others. In Go, when there is a battle for control of a corner, the moves around that area are much better candidates for selection, as opposed to moves ...
