An Introduction of mini-AlphaStar

StarCraft II (SC2) is a real-time strategy game in which players produce and control multiple units to fight against opponent's units. Due to its difficulties, such as huge state space, various action space, a long time horizon, and imperfect information, SC2 has been a research hotspot in reinforcement learning. Recently, an agent called AlphaStar (AS) has been proposed, which shows good performance, obtaining a high win rate of 99.8% against human players. We implemented a mini-scaled version of it called mini-AlphaStar (mAS) based on AS's paper and pseudocode. The difference between AS and mAS is that we substituted the hyper-parameters of AS with smaller ones for mini-scale training. Codes of mAS are all open-sourced (https://github.com/liuruoze/mini-AlphaStar) for future research.

Hyperbolicity of Links in Thickened Surfaces

Menasco showed that a non-split, prime, alternating link that is not a 2-braid is hyperbolic in $S^3$. We prove a similar result for links in closed thickened surfaces $S \times I$. We define a link to be fully alternating if it has an alternating projection from $S\times I$ to $S$ where the interior of every complementary region is an open disk. We show that a prime, fully alternating link in $S\times I$ is hyperbolic. Similar to Menasco, we also give an easy way to determine primeness in $S\times I$. A fully alternating link is prime in $S\times I$ if and only if it is "obviously prime". Furthermore, we extend our result to show that a prime link with fully alternating projection to an essential surface embedded in an orientable, hyperbolic 3-manifold has a hyperbolic complement.
