FAQ from MCP Reasoner

What is Beam Search?

Beam search is a search algorithm that explores a limited number of promising paths, making it suitable for straightforward reasoning tasks.

What is MCTS?

Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a search algorithm that explores the search space by randomly sampling actions and evaluating their outcomes, making it suitable for complex problem-solving.

What are the alpha variations of MCTS?

The alpha variations of MCTS include experimental algorithms like mcts-002-alpha and mcts-002alt-alpha, which incorporate A* Search or Bidirectional Search methods along with Policy Simulation Layers and Adaptive Exploration Simulators.

What is the MCP protocol?

The MCP protocol is the communication protocol that MCP Reasoner uses to communicate with Claude Desktop.

What benchmarks will be used for testing?

Key benchmarks to test against include MATH500, GPQA-Diamond, and GMSK8. Maybe Polyglot &/or SWE-Bench will also be used.
