Abstract
Beyond playing to win, game AI raises deeper questions: can we solve a game, model a player's skill, and explain why a move is good? This talk introduces three research directions that pursue exactly these goals.
First, in game solving, techniques such as Relevance-Zone search, the Proof Cost Network, and distributed solving frameworks make it possible to prove game outcomes efficiently and at scale, while guaranteeing correctness.
Second, in strength modeling, a learned Strength Estimator captures a player's skill level. This enables AI that adjusts its difficulty in a controllable, human-aligned way, rather than always playing as strongly as possible.
Third, in interpretability, a Residual–Transformer hybrid model combines local patterns with global board structure to produce interpretable signals about positional factors and move quality, helping us understand why a move is good.
Together, these directions point toward game-AI systems that are accurate, adaptive, and interpretable.
