Applying Learning by Observation and Case-Based Reasoning to Improve Commercial RTS Game AI
نویسنده
چکیده
This document summarises my research in the area of RealTime Strategy (RTS) video game Artificial Intelligence (AI). The main objective of this research is to increase the quality of AI used in commercial RTS games, which has seen little improvement over the past decade. This objective will be addressed by investigating the use of a learning by observation, case-based reasoning agent, which can be applied to new RTS games with minimal development effort. To be successful, this agent must compare favourably with standard commercial RTS AI techniques: it must be easier to apply, have reasonable resource requirements, and produce a better player. Currently, a prototype implementation has been produced for the game StarCraft, and it has demonstrated the need for processing large sets of input data into a more concise form for

Case Acquisition Strategies for Case-Based Reasoning in Real-Time Strategy Games
Real-time Strategy (RTS) games are complex domains which are a significant challenge to both human and artificial intelligence (AI). For that reason, and although many AI approaches have been proposed for the RTS game AI problem, the AI of all commercial RTS games is scripted and offers a very static behavior subject to exploits. In this paper, we will focus on a case-based reasoning (CBR) appr...

متن کاملMining Replays of Real-Time Strategy Games to Learn Player Strategies
Developing computer-controlled groups to engage in combat, control the use of limited resources, and create units and buildings in Real-Time Strategy(RTS) Games is a novel application in game AI. However, a controlled and closed console commercial game environment pose challenges to researchers interested in observing player activities, constructing player strategy models, and developing practi...
متن کاملIntegrating Case-Based Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning for Real-Time Strategy Game Micromanagement
This paper describes the conception of a hybrid Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach to managing combat units in strategy games. Both methods are combined into an AI agent that is evaluated by using the real-time strategy (RTS) computer game StarCraft as a test bed. The eventual aim of this approach is an AI agent that has the same actions and information at its d...
