This repository contains an implementation of Epistemic AlphaZero which is an modification of AlphaZero that uses Epistemic Monte Carlo Tree Search (E-MCTS). We use JAX to make efficient use of GPU acceleration. Our framework is compatible with pgx environments, and in fact we implement two new ones: DeepSea and Subleq, (see src/envs/).

See also emctx, a fork of mctx which supports epistemic uncertainty propagation as described in the E-MCTS paper.

• The program in src/:
  • The entry is main.py.
  • Self-play (i.e. environment interaction) is in selfplay.py.
  • Replay buffer reanalyze is in reanalyze.py.
  • Evaluation (i.e. determining strength) is in evaluate.py.
  • Network training (i.e. policy and value improvement) is in train.py.
  • Config options are in config.py, and the context that is created from them is in context.py.
• Custom Environments are in envs/.
• Network architectures and hashing algorithms (for uncertainty estimation) are in network/.
• Scripts for submitting experiments and analysis are in scripts/.

1. Install Python.
2. Install pipenv with pip install --user pipenv.
3. Run pipenv install in this directory to install the required dependencies.
4. Run pipenv run python src/main.py with optional configuration specified as space-separated parameter=value.
