• Abstract: This paper focuses on building personalized player models solely from player behavior in the context of adaptive games. We present two main contributions: The first is a novel approach to player modeling based on multi-armed bandits (MABs). This approach addresses, at the same time and in a principled way, both the problem of collecting data to model the characteristics of interest for the current player and the problem of adapting the interactive experience based on this model. Second, we present an approach to evaluating and fine-tuning these algorithms prior to generating data in a user study. This is an important problem, because conducting user studies is an expensive and labor-intensive process; therefore, an ability to evaluate the algorithms beforehand can save a significant amount of resources. We evaluate our approach in the context of modeling players' social comparison orientation (SCO) and present empirical results from both simulations and real players.

  A common practice consists of creating metrics out of data collected by player interactions with the content. This allows for estimation only after the content is released and does not consider the characteristics of potential future players. In this article, we present a number of potential solutions for the estimation of difficulty under such conditions.

  We leverage the meta-features associated with each entity as a source of worldly knowledge and employ entity representations from the models. We propose using the consistency between these representations and the meta-features as a metric for evaluating pre-trained models. Our method's effectiveness is demonstrated across various domains, including models with relational datasets, large language models and image models.

  This paper introduces a pre-trained model-based continual learning toolbox known as PILOT. On the one hand, PILOT implements some state-of-the-art class-incremental learning algorithms based on pre-trained models, such as L2P, DualPrompt, and CODA-Prompt. On the other hand, PILOT fits typical class-incremental learning algorithms within the context of pre-trained models to evaluate their effectiveness.

  Player modeling attempts to create a computational model which accurately approximates a player's behavior in a game. Most player modeling techniques rely on domain knowledge and are not transferable across games. We present our findings with using action model learning (AML) to learn a player model in a domain-agnostic manner.

  We present a data-driven shared control algorithm that can be used to improve a human operator's control of complex machines. Both the dynamics and information about the user's interaction are learned from observation through the use of a Koopman operator. We find that model-based shared control significantly improves task and control metrics when compared to a natural learning, or user only, control paradigm.
