• Title: Automatic Player Identification in Dota 2
• Abstract summary: We present a machine learning approach to identify players in Dota 2. We use data on mouse movements, in-game statistics and game strategy extracted from match replays. We are able to obtain an accuracy of prediction of 95% for the problem of predicting if two different matches were played by the same player.

• Abstract: Dota 2 is a popular, multiplayer online video game. Like many online games, players are mostly anonymous, being tied only to online accounts which can be readily obtained, sold and shared between multiple people. This makes it difficult to track or ban players who exhibit unwanted behavior online. In this paper, we present a machine learning approach to identify players based a `digital fingerprint' of how they play the game, rather than by account. We use data on mouse movements, in-game statistics and game strategy extracted from match replays and show that for best results, all of these are necessary. We are able to obtain an accuracy of prediction of 95\% for the problem of predicting if two different matches were played by the same player.

  Motivated by the widespread popularity of video games, we propose the first threat model for Attribute Inference Attacks (AIA) in the Dota2 context. We explain how (and why) attackers can exploit the abundant public data in the Dota2 ecosystem to infer private information about its players. This paper hence raises the alarm on a subtle, but concrete threat that can potentially affect the entire competitive gaming landscape.

  In this paper, we engineer several features from in-game statistics to model players and create ratings that accurately represent their behavior and true performance level. Our results show that the behavioral ratings present more accurate performance estimations while maintaining the interpretability of the created representations. Considering different aspects of the playing behavior of players and using behavioral ratings for matchmaking can lead to match-ups that are more aligned with players' goals and interests.

  We explore the applicability of Sequential Item Recommendation (SIR) models in the context of purchase recommendations in Dota 2. Our results show that models that consider the order of purchases are the most effective. In contrast to other domains, we find RNN-based models to outperform the more recent Transformer-based architectures on Dota-350k.

• Bandit Modeling of Map Selection in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive [55.41644538483948]
  In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) matches, two teams first pick and ban maps, or virtual worlds, to play. We introduce a contextual bandit framework to tackle the problem of map selection in CSGO and to investigate teams' pick and ban decision-making. We find that teams have suboptimal map choice policies with respect to both picking and banning. We also define an approach for rewarding bans, which has not been explored in the bandit setting, and find that incorporating ban rewards improves model performance.
