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.
