• Title: Content Based Player and Game Interaction Model for Game Recommendation in the Cold Start setting
• Authors: Markus Viljanen, Jukka Vahlo, Aki Koponen, Tapio Pahikkala
• Abstract summary: This paper presents content based interaction models that generalize into new games, new players, and both new games and players simultaneously. We find that the models outperform collaborative filtering in these tasks, which makes them useful for real world game recommendation.

• Abstract: Game recommendation is an important application of recommender systems. Recommendations are made possible by data sets of historical player and game interactions, and sometimes the data sets include features that describe games or players. Collaborative filtering has been found to be the most accurate predictor of past interactions. However, it can only be applied to predict new interactions for those games and players where a significant number of past interactions are present. In other words, predictions for completely new games and players is not possible. In this paper, we use a survey data set of game likes to present content based interaction models that generalize into new games, new players, and both new games and players simultaneously. We find that the models outperform collaborative filtering in these tasks, which makes them useful for real world game recommendation. The content models also provide interpretations of why certain games are liked by certain players for game analytics purposes.

  We propose GameEval, a novel approach to evaluating large language models (LLMs) GameEval treats LLMs as game players and assigns them distinct roles with specific goals achieved by launching conversations of various forms. We show that GameEval can effectively differentiate the capabilities of various LLMs, providing a comprehensive assessment of their integrated abilities to solve complex problems.

  In freemium games, the revenue from a player comes from the in-app purchases made and the advertisement to which that player is exposed. Within this scenario, it is extremely important to be able to detect promptly when a player is about to quit playing. We investigate how to improve the current state-of-the-art in churn prediction by combining sequential and aggregate data.

  In this work, we introduce WinoGAViL: an online game to collect vision-and-language associations. We use the game to collect 3.5K instances, finding that they are intuitive for humans but challenging for state-of-the-art AI models. Our analysis as well as the feedback we collect from players indicate that the collected associations require diverse reasoning skills.

  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.
