Optimised Playout Implementations for the Ludii General Game System
  This paper describes three different optimised implementations of playouts,
as commonly used by game-playing algorithms such as Monte-Carlo Tree Search.
Each of the optimised implementations is applicable only to specific sets of
games, based on their rules. The Ludii general game system can automatically
infer, based on a game's description in its general game description language,
whether any optimised implementations are applicable. An empirical evaluation
demonstrates major speedups over a standard implementation, with a median
result of running playouts 5.08 times as fast, over 145 different games in
Ludii for which one of the optimised implementations is applicable.
