Darkforest is a computer Go program developed by Facebook’s AI Research team, based on deep learning techniques using a convolutional neural network. It combines these techniques with Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), a method commonly seen in computer chess programs, to create a more advanced version known as Darkfmcts3.
Darkforest is a powerful tool for playing Go, a popular board game of ancient origin. By combining deep learning and MCTS, it can play at a high level of skill and outperform other Go AI programs.
