Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games: AI-Driven Game Design (Dagstuhl Seminar 17471)

Authors: Pieter Spronck, Elisabeth André, Michael Cook, and Mike Preuß

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 11 (2018)

Abstract
With the dramatic growth of the game industry over the past decade, its rapid inclusion in many sectors of today's society, and the increased complexity of games, game development has reached a point where it is no longer humanly possible to use only manual techniques to create games. Large parts of games need to be designed, built, and tested automatically. In recent years, researchers have delved into artificial intelligence techniques to support, assist, and even drive game development. Such techniques include procedural content generation, automated narration, player modelling and adaptation, and automated game design. This research is still very young, but already the games industry is taking small steps to integrate some of these techniques in their approach to design. The goal of this seminar was to bring together researchers and industry representatives who work at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) and computational intelligence (CI) in games, to (1) explore and extend the possibilities of AI-driven game design, (2) to identify the most viable applications of AI-driven game design in the game industry, and (3) to investigate new approaches to AI-driven game design. To this end, the seminar included a wide range of researchers and developers, including specialists in AI/CI for abstract games, commercial video games, and serious games. Thus, it fostered a better understanding of and unified vision on AI-driven game design, using input from both scientists as well as AI specialists from industry.

Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games: Integration (Dagstuhl Seminar 15051)

Authors: Simon M. Lucas, Michael Mateas, Mike Preuss, Pieter Spronck, and Julian Togelius

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1 (2015)

Abstract
This report documents Dagstuhl Seminar 15051 "Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games: Integration". The focus of the seminar was on the computational techniques used to create, enhance, and improve the experiences of humans interacting with and within virtual environments. Different researchers in this field have different goals, including developing and testing new AI methods, creating interesting and believable non-player characters, improving the game production pipeline, studying game design through computational means, and understanding players and patterns of interaction. In recent years it has become increasingly clear that many of the research goals in the field require a multidisciplinary approach, or at least a combination of techniques that, in the past, were considered separate research topics. The goal of the seminar was to explicitly take the first steps along this path of integration, and investigate which topics and techniques would benefit most from collaboration, how collaboration could be shaped, and which new research questions may potentially be answered.

Procedural Content Generation: Goals, Challenges and Actionable Steps

Authors: Julian Togelius, Alex J. Champandard, Pier Luca Lanzi, Michael Mateas, Ana Paiva, Mike Preuss, and Kenneth O. Stanley

Published in: Dagstuhl Follow-Ups, Volume 6, Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games (2013)

Abstract
This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of procedural content generation (PCG) in games. It starts with defining three grand goals of PCG, namely multi-level multicontent PCG, PCG-based game design and generating complete games. The way these goals are defined, they are not feasible with current technology. Therefore we identify nine challenges for PCG research. Work towards meeting these challenges is likely to take us closer to realising the three grand goals. In order to help researchers get started, we also identify five actionable steps, which PCG researchers could get started working on immediately.

Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games (Dagstuhl Seminar 12191)

Authors: Simon M. Lucas, Michael Mateas, Mike Preuss, Pieter Spronck, and Julian Togelius

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 2, Issue 5 (2012)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 12191 "Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games". The aim for the seminar was to bring together creative experts in an intensive meeting with the common goals of gaining a deeper understanding of various aspects of artificial and computational intelligence in games, to help identify the main challenges in game AI research and the most promising venues to deal with them. This was accomplished mainly by means of workgroups on 14 different topics (ranging from search, learning, and modeling to architectures, narratives, and evaluation), and plenary discussions on the results of the workgroups. This report presents the conclusions that each of the workgroups reached. We also added short descriptions of the few talks that were unrelated to any of the workgroups.
