Research on StarCraft II (SC2) is considered important due to its similarity to real-life tasks and its potential to inspire game artificial intelligence design. However, the complexity of SC2 presents considerable challenges. In 2019, DeepMind …
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 …
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 …
Reinforcement learning (RL) combined with deep neural networks has performed remarkably well in many genres of games recently. It has surpassed human-level performance in fixed game environments and turn-based two-player board games. However, to the …
Twitter is a microblogging tool that allow the creation of big data through short digital contents. This study provides a survey of machine learning techniques for hate speech classification from Twitter data streams. Hate speech classification in …
Estimation of distribution genetic programming (EDA-GP) algorithms are metaheuristics where sampling new solutions from a learned probabilistic model replaces the standard mutation and recombination operators of genetic programming (GP). This paper …
We present a new method, Synthesis through Unification Genetic Programming (STUN GP), which synthesizes provably correct programs using a Divide and Conquer approach. This method first splits the input space by undergoing a discovery phase that uses …
Digital collectible card games are not only a growing part of the video game industry, but also an interesting research area for the field of computational intelligence. This game genre allows researchers to deal with hidden information, uncertainty …
Generative adversary networks (GANs) suffer from training pathologies such as instability and mode collapse. These pathologies mainly arise from a lack of diversity in their adversarial interactions. Evolutionary generative adversarial networks apply …
In this paper, we introduce a Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) approach for the game "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft". We argue that, in light of the challenges posed by the game (such as uncertainty and hidden information), Monte Carlo tree search …
