Simulation-Based General Game Playing
… agents face is to automatically learn knowledge-based heuristics in real-time, whether for evaluating game positions or for search guidance. In this thesis we approach this challenge with Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which in recent years has become a popular and effective search method in …

Simulation-Based Decision Making with Streaming Data
This dissertation studies simulation-based decision making in environments where data arrive sequentially over time. Many real-world decision problems involve complex stochastic systems whose performance cannot be evaluated analytically and must instead be estimated through simulation. At the same …
