MCTS Search Configuration

Data artifactCognitionCognition & Memoryarc:MCTSSearchConfig

A configuration artifact setting MCTS hyperparameters such as the exploration constant C, children per expansion, progressive-widening schedule, tree-size limit and pruning visit threshold.

Responsibility. Parameterises the exploration-exploitation balance and tree growth of MCTS.

Also known as: Exploration constant, UCT parameters
