The longer a player is playing the game, the higher will be the chances that he or she will generate a revenue within the game. Within this scenario, it is extremely important to be able to detect promptly when a player is about to quit playing (churn) in order to react and attempt to retain the player within the game, thus prolonging his or her game lifetime. In this article we investigate how to improve the current state-of-the-art in churn prediction by combining sequential and aggregate data using different neural network architectures. The results of the comparative analysis show that the combination of the two data types grants an improvement in the prediction accuracy over predictors based on either purely sequential or purely aggregated data.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121161024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by the mechanism of attention to objects in human vision, we try to make the agents automatically detect the important objects during the learning process. The detection is directed by the Q value based on the abstract state representations. The process does not require human prior knowledge and provides a faster and lighter way for AI playing games. We present empirical results on the Battle City game to validate our method. In comparison with raw images input and other preprocessing methods, our approach achieves better final results and uses smaller state space.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121331829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present our first results on comparing unsupervised and supervised machine learning for procedurally generated NPC behaviours. Using an artificial life environment as a stand-in for a video game, we run artificial evolution and generate AI agents with various behaviours. We then train deep variational autoencoders on commonly evolved behaviour and measure its efficacy in detecting behaviours unseen during training. As a reference, we use an off-the-shelf deep network trained in a supervised manner to detect behaviours both seen and unseen during its training. Preliminary results demonstrate promising performance that holds even when the training set contains a mixture of several types of behaviours without proper labels.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125067548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study follows up on this by a more detailed investigation of the portability of a RCSAA-compliant game software component across three principal programming languages: C#, JavaScript (TypeScript), and Java, respectively, and their integration in game engines for these languages. One operational RCSAA-compliant component in C# is taken as the starting point for porting to the other languages. For each port, a detailed analysis of language-specific features is carried out to examine and preserve the equivalence of transcompiled code. Also, implementation patterns of required RSCAA constructs are analysed for each programming language and practical workaround solutions are proposed. This study demonstrates that the software patterns and design solutions used in the RCSAA are easily portable across programming languages based on very different programming paradigms. It thereby establishes the practicability of the RSCAA architecture and the associated integration of RCSAA-compliant game components under real-world conditions.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123481285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose to learn a prior for RHEA in an offline manner by training a value network and a policy network. The value network is used to reduce the planning horizon by providing an estimation of future rewards, and the policy network is used to initialize the population, which helps to narrow down the search scope. The proposed algorithm, named prior-based RHEA (p-RHEA), trains policy and value networks by performing planning and learning iteratively. In the planning stage, the horizon-limited search is performed to improve the policies and collect training samples with the help of the learned networks. In the learning stage, the policy network and value network are trained with the collected samples to learn better prior knowledge. Experimental results on OpenAI MuJoCo tasks show that the performance of the proposed p- RHEA is significantly improved compared to that of RHEA.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123520258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the importance of quality assurance (QA) testing, QA remains an underinvested area in the technical games research community. In this paper, we show that relatively simple automatic exploration techniques can be used to multiplicatively amplify coverage of a game starting from human tester data. Instead of attempting to displace human QA efforts, we seek to grow the impact that a human tester can make. Experiments with two games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System highlight the qualitative and quantitative differences between isolated human and machine play compared to our hybrid approach called Reveal-More. We contribute a QA testing workflow that scales with the amount of human and machine time allocated to the effort.","PeriodicalId":177208,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Games (CoG)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124667529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
