I'd have to read the paper to make sure I understand what's being done, but to
my ears,
"progressive widening" is more natural and descriptive than "progressive
unpruning."

Dear all,
I did experiments on 19x19 Mango with 25000
simulations per move, against GnuGo 3.6 level 0.
Without progressive unpruning, Mango wins 2.9% (250 games),
and with progressive unpruning, Mango wins 31% (400 games).
I proposed progressive unpruning in this paper:
http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/g.chaslot/papers/pmcts.pdf
Simultaneously, Remi Coulom proposed the same thing in this
paper: http://remi.coulom.free.fr/Amsterdam2007/
under the name “progressive widening”.
Question for native English speakers: do you think this
technique is best described by “progressive unpruning” or “progressive
widening”?
Cheers,
Guillaume
