Active Learning for Player Modeling

چکیده
Learning models of player behavior has been the focus of several studies. This work is motivated by better understanding of player behavior, a knowledge that can ultimately be employed to provide player-adapted or personalized content. In this paper, we propose the use of active learning for player experience modeling. We use a dataset from hundreds of players playing Infinite Mario Bros. as a case study and we employ the random forest method to learn models of player experience through the active learning approach. The results obtained suggest that only part of the dataset (up to half the size of the full dataset) is necessary for the construction of accurate models that are as accurate as those constructed from the full dataset. This indicates the potential of the method and its benefits in cases when obtaining the data is expensive or time, storage or effort consuming. The results also indicate that the method can be used online during the content generation process where the models can improve and better content can be presented as the game is being played.

Active player modelling
We argue for the use of active learning methods for player modelling. In active learning, the learning algorithm chooses where to sample the search space so as to optimise learning progress. We hypothesise that player modelling based on active learning could result in vastly more efficient learning, but will require big changes in how data is collected. Some hypothetical active player modelling...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between Player Types and Learning Styles in Gamification Design
An educational gamification is a new approach that has developed hopes to increase the effectiveness of learning. Computer game users are actually players that are categorized according to their personalities and have different learning styles. To achieve maximum performance in designing gamified learning, one can determine the relationship between player types and their learning styles, and th...
متن کاملComparing Player Skill, Game Variants, and Learning Rates Using Survival Analysis
Game designers can use computer-aided game design methods to quantitatively compare player skill levels, different game variants, and learning rates, for the purpose of modeling how players will likely experience a game. We use Monte-Carlo simulation, hazard functions, and survival analysis to show how difficulty will quantitatively change throughout a game level as we vary skill, game paramete...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Learning Game for Autistic Children using Reinforcement Learning and Fuzzy Logic
This paper, presents an adapted serious game for rating social ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The required measurements are obtained by challenges of the proposed serious game. The proposed serious game uses reinforcement learning concepts for being adaptive. It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...
متن کاملAn Inclusive Taxonomy of Player Modeling
“Player modeling” is a loose concept. It can equally apply to everything from a predictive model of player actions resulting from machine learning to a designer’s description of a player’s expected reactions in response to some piece of game content. This lack of a precise terminology prevents practitioners from quickly finding introductions to applicable modeling methods or determining viable ...
