Solomon Eyal Shimony,
an Israeli mathematician, computer scientist and associate professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
His research interest covers artificial intelligence, with a focus on uncertain reasoning and its applications.
In their 2004 paper Generalized Model for Rational Game Tree Search
[2],
Yan Radovilsky and Solomon Eyal Shimony proposed a generalization of the BPIP-DFISA (Best play for imperfect players - Depth free independent staircase approximation) search control model introduced by Eric B. Baum and Warren D. Smith in 1995 [3]
to allow for planning steps, as well as game tree search steps.
A rudimentary system employing these ideas for chess was implemented with promising empirical results.
Along with David Tolpin, he researched and published on Monte-Carlo Tree Search and UCT [4].
