Mouse sensitivity in first-person targeting tasks is a highly debated issue. Recommendations within a single game can vary by a factor of 10× or more and are an active topic of experimentation in both competitive and recreational esports communities. …
In any game, play style is a concept that describes the technique and strategy employed by a player to achieve a goal. Identifying a player's style is desirable as it can enlighten players on which approaches work better or worse in different …
The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the level of research interest in procedural content generation (PCG) for digital games, and there are now numerous research avenues focused on new approaches for driving and applying PCG systems. An area …
Deep generative models can automatically create content of diverse types. However, there are no guarantees that such content will satisfy the criteria necessary to present it to end-users and be functional, e.g. the generated levels could be …
Node.js is a popular non-browser JavaScript platform that provides useful but sometimes also vulnerable packages. On one hand, prior works have proposed many program analysis-based approaches to detect Node.js vulnerabilities, such as command …
Playing games with cheaters is not fun, and in a multibillion-dollar video game industry with hundreds of millions of players, game developers aim to improve the security and, consequently, the user experience of their games by preventing cheating. …
Probabilistic classification has shown success in detecting known types of software bugs. However, the works following this approach tend to require a large amount of specimens to train their models. We present a new machine learning-based bug …
The generalizability of programs synthesized by genetic programming (GP) to unseen test cases is one of the main challenges of GP-based program synthesis. Recent work showed that increasing the amount of training data improves the generalizability of …
We put forward a novel learning methodology for ensembles of decision trees based on a genetic algorithm that is able to train a decision tree for maximizing both its accuracy and its robustness to adversarial perturbations. This learning algorithm …
Data is a prevalent part of every business and scientific domain, but its explosive volume and increasing complexity make data querying challenging even for experts. For this reason, numerous text-to-SQL systems have been developed that enable …
