Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A standard assumption of search in two-player games is that the opponent has the same evaluation function or utility for possible game outcomes. While some work has been done to try to better exploit weak opponents, it has only been a minor component of high-performance game playing programs such as Chinook or Deep Blue. However, we demonstrate that in games with more than two players, opponent modeling is a necessary component for ensuring high-quality play against unknown opponents. Thus, we propose a new algorithm, soft-maxn, which can help accommodate differences in opponent styles. Finally, we show an inference mechanism that can be used with soft-maxn to infer the playing style of our opponents.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
