Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a new best-first search method that started a revolution in the field of Computer Go. Parallelizing MCTS is an important way to increase the stren...

Recent work has shown the promise in using local-search “probes” as a basis for directing a backtracking-based refinement search. In this approach, the decision about the next...

Random binary search trees, b-ary search trees, median-of-(2k+1) trees, quadtrees, simplex trees, tries, and digital search trees are special cases of random split trees. For these...
—The performance of maximum likelihood searches can be boosted by using the most parsimonious tree as a starting point for the search. The time spent in performing the parsimony ...
Splay trees are self-organizing binary search trees that were introduced by Sleator and Tarjan [12]. In this paper we present a randomized variant of these trees. The new algorith...
