Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is at the core of cutting-edge AI applications, from language models to autonomous agents.
MCTS uses a tree-based structure and four core phases to identify high-value strategies through repeated loops in large, uncertain decision spaces.
Modern MCTS implementations integrate learning mechanisms and cooperative reasoning, expanding its use in game-playing AI, decision-making systems, and broader applications.
Recent advancements like R-MCTS enhance decision quality by learning from past trajectories, leading to significant performance boosts in tasks like web-based navigation and robotics.
