Search in FINESSE

FINESSE searches by building trees composed of its tactics. The resulting trees are many orders of magnitude smaller than the object-level search of considering each card play.

The best branch selections in the tree are determined by an algorithm that uses a qualatative language to represent uncertainty. FINESSE has efficient rules for manipulating this language and can translate any expression into either a probability or a textual explanation.

The state of the search at any point in the tree can be examined by clicking on the corresponding node in the graphical interface.
