MACHINE LEARNING AND GAMES workshop at ICML 2010
DEADLINE EXTENSION to Monday April 12th!
June 25th, 2010- Haifa, Israel
http://www-kd.iai.uni-bonn.de/icml2010mlg/
SCOPE:
The primary goal of this workshop is to bring researchers working on
various aspects of machine learning and games together. We want to
provide a venue for discussing future directions for machine learning
in games, both for academia and the industry.
The intention is to keep the scope of the workshop rather broad and
include topics such as:
- Learning how to play games well, for games ranging from
deterministic and discrete boardgames to non-deterministic,
continuous, real time, action oriented games.
- Player/opponent/team modeling, for goals such as improving
artificial players in competitive games, mimicing human players, or
game or learning curve adaptation.
- Game analysis, for automatic skillranking, matchmaking, or player
and team behavior analysis (fraud detection) in multiplayer games.
- Automated content or story generation for games, possibly with
attention to user specific constraints and preferences.
- Game adaptivity, e.g. for raising or lowering difficulty levels
dependent on the players proficiency, avoiding the emergence of player
routines that are guaranteed to beat the game. This topic also
includes concerns on game stability and performance guarantees for
artificial opponents.
- Novel learning scenarios arising from practical problems in games.
- Machine learning perspectives in/from the games industry.
SUBMISSIONS:
We will welcome on-going work, position papers, as well as completed
work.
Submissions will be reviewed by program committee members on the basis
of relevance, significance, technical quality, and clarity. All
accepted papers will be presented as posters and among them, eight to
ten will be selected for the oral presentation.
The deadline for submission is April 12th, 2010. Submissions should
be formatted according to the templates available at the workshop's
website (see above) and submitted via email to icml10...@iais.fraunhofer.de
.
We also invite the authors of relevant, rejected work from ICML to
submit their rejected paper together with the reviews generated by the
ICML reviewers and an author rebuttal if deemed relevant. These
submission should be made as soon as possible after the ICML author
notification.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submissions due: April 12th, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 30th, 2010
Workshop date: June 25th, 2010
