AV-AIVAT: 74x Cheaper Agent Evaluation with Certified Anytime-Valid Stopping in Imperfect-Information Games

- What happened
- AV-AIVAT combines variance reduction with statistical stopping rules to evaluate game-playing agents 74 times more efficiently in imperfect-information games.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers evaluating competing AI agents in games where each evaluation run costs money, compute time, or expert effort.
- Watch out
- Method requires establishing payoff bounds for exact certification; asymptotic guarantees apply broadly but finite-sample guarantees need game-specific analysis.
