Probabilistic Foundations for Procedural Level Generation

نویسنده

چکیده

Procedural content generation (PCG) has become a popular research topic in recent years, but not much work has been done in terms of generalized content generators, that is, methods that can generate content for a wide variety of games without requiring hand-tuning. Probabilistic approaches are a promising avenue for creating more general content generators, and specificially map generators. I am interested in exploring probabilistic techniques that could lead to generalized procedural

Sampling Hyrule: Sampling Probabilistic Machine Learning for Level Generation

Procedural Content Generation (PCG) using machine learning is a fast growing area of research. Action Role Playing Game (ARPG) levels represent an interesting challenge for PCG due to their multi-tiered structure and nonlinearity. Previous work has used Bayes Nets (BN) to learn properties of the topological structure of levels from The Legend of Zelda. In this paper we describe a method for sam...

Quicksand: A Lightweight Implementation of Probabilistic Programming for Procedural Modeling and Design

The past several years have seen the development of multiple probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) in the artificial intelligence community [9, 5, 12, 13, 7, 11]. In addition to their expressiveness, PPLs allow programmers to develop models modularly and independently from inference algorithms. Over the same period, computer graphics research has begun to demonstrate how probabilistic infe...

Toward Game Level Generation from Gameplay Videos

Algorithms that generate computer game content require game design knowledge. We present an approach to automatically learn game design knowledge for level design from gameplay videos. We further demonstrate how the acquired design knowledge can be used to generate sections of game levels. Our approach involves parsing video of people playing a game to detect the appearance of patterns of sprit...

On the semantic foundations of Probabilistic VERUS

In this paper we explain the semantic foundations of the tool Probabilistic VERUS Har98]. A Probabilistic VERUS program P consists of sequential randomized processes S 1 ; : : : ; S k that are executed in parallel and that communicate via shared variables. First we give an operational semantics for the sequential components on the basis of a transition relation deened in the classical SOS-style...

The Relevance of Procedural Utility for Economics

This paper aims at showing the relevance of procedural utility for economics: people do not only care about outcomes, as usually assumed in economics, they also value the processes and conditions leading to outcomes. The psychological foundations of procedural utility are outlined and it is discussed how the concept differs from other related approaches in economics, like outcome utility, outco...
