[1604.07097] Neurohex: A Deep Q-learning Hex Agent • /r/MachineLearning

I posted about this earlier but mistakenly clicked text instead of link and didn't link the article so here it is. We applied Deep Q-learning with a supervised initialization to the board-game hex and obtained promising results. This was somewhat surprising to me as I suspected statistical bias involved in Q-learning may be a major issue with the large space of actions involved in a stone placement game. Code can be found here.
