• Abstract summary: We present a transformer-based approach to behavioral stylometry in the context of chess. Our method operates in a few-shot classification framework, and can correctly identify a player from among thousands of candidate players. We consider more broadly what our resulting embeddings reveal about human style in chess, as well as the potential ethical implications.

• Abstract: The advent of machine learning models that surpass human decision-making ability in complex domains has initiated a movement towards building AI systems that interact with humans. Many building blocks are essential for this activity, with a central one being the algorithmic characterization of human behavior. While much of the existing work focuses on aggregate human behavior, an important long-range goal is to develop behavioral models that specialize to individual people and can differentiate among them. To formalize this process, we study the problem of behavioral stylometry, in which the task is to identify a decision-maker from their decisions alone. We present a transformer-based approach to behavioral stylometry in the context of chess, where one attempts to identify the player who played a set of games. Our method operates in a few-shot classification framework, and can correctly identify a player from among thousands of candidate players with 98% accuracy given only 100 labeled games. Even when trained on amateur play, our method generalises to out-of-distribution samples of Grandmaster players, despite the dramatic differences between amateur and world-class players. Finally, we consider more broadly what our resulting embeddings reveal about human style in chess, as well as the potential ethical implications of powerful methods for identifying individuals from behavioral data.

  Defining and measuring decision-making styles, also known as playstyles, is crucial in gaming. We introduce three enhancements to increase accuracy: multiscale analysis with varied state psychology, a perceptual kernel rooted in granularity, and the utilization of the intersection-over-union method for efficient evaluation. Our findings improve the measurement of end-to-end game analysis and the evolution of artificial intelligence for diverse playstyles.

  Human activity understanding is of widespread interest in artificial intelligence and spans diverse applications like health care and behavior analysis. We propose a novel paradigm to reformulate this task in two stages: first mapping pixels to an intermediate space spanned by atomic activity primitives, then programming detected primitives with interpretable logic rules to infer semantics. Our framework, the Human Activity Knowledge Engine (HAKE), exhibits superior generalization ability and performance upon challenging benchmarks.

  We train teams of physically simulated humanoid avatars to play football in a realistic virtual environment. In a sequence of stages, players first learn to control a fully articulated body to perform realistic, human-like movements. They then acquire mid-level football skills such as dribbling and shooting. Finally, they develop awareness of others and play as a team, bridging the gap between low-level motor control at a timescale of milliseconds.
