The Game Independent Feature Learning algorithm, GIFL, uses the differences in temporally-related states to learn patterns that are correlated with winning or losing a GGP game. These patterns are then used to inform the search. GIFL is simple, robust and improves the quality of play in the majority of games tested. GIFL has been successfully used in the GGP program Maligne.Feature learningGeneral game playingText/Journal Article1610-1987
