Predicting Frags in Tactic Games at KnowledgePit.ai: ICME 2023 Grand Challenge Report

Abstract

We describe a data science competition ICME 2023 Grand Challenge: Predicting Frags in Tactic Games that was organized in association with the IEEE ICME conference series at the KnowledgePit.ai platform. This challenge was the second in a series of competitions related to the analysis of data from a turn-based tactic video game Tactical Troops: Anthracite Shift. We discuss the competition's scope and significance of the considered research problem. We also overview the construction of the baseline solution and the most interesting results obtained by competing teams. We also indicate how the challenge outcomes fit into our future plans related to video game data analytics and the future applications of our KnowledgePit.ai platform.
