UCB (and hence UCT) would treat the following sequences of wins (1)
and losses (0) the same:
01010101010101010101010101010101
00000000000000001111111111111111
11111111111111110000000000000000
Clearly, it would be better to favor the second sequence, because that
move has done more for us lately. Because the tree is growing, the
values of the moves are moving targets.
Has anyone done any work dealing with this phenomenon, e.g., somehow
giving more weight to more recent playouts?
