AI Technologies Used in Popular Games
This three part project aims to model League of Legends matches into Markov Decision Processes then apply Reinforcement Learning to find the optimal decision that also accountfor a player's preference and go beyond simple 'score board' statistics.
Evolving simple programs for playing Atari games
Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) has previously shown capabilities in image processing tasks by evolving programs with a function set specialized for computer vision. A similar approach can be applied to Atari playing...
Microsoft Developed An AI to Catch Xbox Live Cheaters
This AI would snoop through the interactions between game and platform, such as “notifications of achievements, game scores reported to the platform, and/or a player rank achieved on the platform based upon game activities.”
Evolving Mario Levels in the Latent Space of a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network
This paper trains a GAN to generate levels for Super Mario Bros using a level from the Video Game Level Corpus. The approach successfully generates a variety of levels similar to one in the original corpus, but is further improved by application of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES).

ClariNet: Parallel Wave Generation in End-to-End Text-to-Speech
"In this work, we propose an alternative solution for parallel wave generation by WaveNet. In contrast to parallel WaveNet, we distill a Gaussian inverse autoregressive flow from the autoregressive WaveNet by minimizing a novel regularized KL divergence between their highly-peaked output distributions."
A Reductions Approach to Fair Classification
We present a systematic approach for achieving fairness in a binary classification setting. While we focus on two well-known quantitative definitions of fairness, our approach encompasses many other previously studied definitions as special cases.
Google AI Chief Jeff Dean's ML System Architecture Blueprint
Back in January, Google AI Chief and former head of Google Brain Jeff Dean co-published the paper A New Golden Age in Computer Architecture: Empowering the Machine-Learning Revolution with Turing Award winner and computer architect David Patterson.
Signing With Alexa: A DIY Experiment in AI Accessibility
Last week, Singh posted a YouTube video, Making Amazon Alexa respond to Sign Language using AI, in which he smoothly communicates with Alexa using sign language. Alexa, which is installed in a laptop with a built-in camera, interprets Singh's signed queries in real-time...
