Knowledge discovery of game design features by mining user-generated feedback

The term “Gamification” is an emerging paradigm that aims to employ game mechanics and game thinking to change behavior. Gamification offers several effective ways to motivate users into action such as challenges, levels and rewards. However, an open research problem is discovering the set of gamification features that consistently result in a higher probability of success for a given task, gam...

Web Mining: Knowledge Discovery

With the flood of information on the Web, Web mining is a new research issue which draws great interest from many communities. Currently, there is no agreement about Web mining yet. It needs more discussion among researchers in order to define what it is exactly. Meanwhile, the development of Web mining system will promote its research in turn. In this paper we present a preliminary discussion ...

Player Knowledge Modeling in Game Design Feedback and Automation

Models that capture the knowledge of players of digital games could be used to great effect in AI-assisted tools that automate or provide feedback for game design. There are several important tasks knowledge models should perform: predicting player performance on a particular task to adjust difficulty, knowing in which order to give particular concepts for maximum learning, or understanding how...

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining within a Design Environment

Designers, in the process of satisfying design requirements, generally encounter difficulties in, firstly, understanding the problem and secondly, finding a solution [Cross 1998]. Often the process of understanding the problem and developing a feasible solution are developed simultaneously by proposing a solution to gauge the extent to which the solution satisfies the specific requirements. Sup...
