• Abstract: ColorShapeLinks is an AI board game competition framework specially designed for students and educators in videogame development, with openness and accessibility in mind. The competition is based on an arbitrarily-sized version of the Simplexity board game, the motto of which, "simple to learn, complex to master", is curiously also applicable to AI agents. ColorShapeLinks offers graphical and text-based frontends and a completely open and documented development framework built using industry standard tools and following software engineering best practices. ColorShapeLinks is not only a competition, but both a game and a framework which educators and students can extend and use to host their own competitions. It has been successfully used for running internal competitions in AI classes, as well as for hosting an international AI competition at the IEEE Conference on Games.

  We propose a competitive learning framework which is able to help individual robot to acquire knowledge from the competition. Specifically, the competition information among competitors is introduced as the additional auxiliary signal to learn advantaged actions. We further build a Multiagent-Race environment, and extensive experiments are conducted, demonstrating that robots trained in competitive environments outperform ones that are trained with SoTA algorithms in single robot environment.

  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.
