  • Telemetry and Machine Learning to Speed-Up the Measure of Intelligence Through Video Games
    Telemetry and machine learning to speed-up the measure of intelligence through video games Mingxiao Guo[0000−0003−3627−5981], Pablo Guti´errez-S´anchez[0000−0002−6702−5726], Alejandro Ortega-Alvarez´ [0000−0000−0000−0000], Pedro A.

G´omez-Mart´ın[0000−0002−3855−7344] Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain fmingxguo,pabgut02,alejor01,pagoncal,maquirog,[email protected] Abstract. Recent research has shown a high correlation between the g factor (or general intelligence factor) and overall performance in video games. This relationship is held not only when playing brain games but also other generalist commercial titles. Unfortunately, these off-the-shelf games do not allow automatic extraction of in-game behavior data. As a result, researchers are often forced to manually register the game sessions metrics, reducing the gathered information and, as a consequence, the results. The aim of our work is to help to improve the data collection process used in those studies by: (1) reimplementing a small subset consisting of three of the games used in these former studies; (2) developing a telemetry system to automate and enhance the recording of in-game user events and variables; and (3) deploying a web platform to conduct an online experiment to collect such data. With the obtained data, we attempt to predict a player's final score in a given game from truncated play logs (up to a certain point in time) using neural networks and random forest. This later analysis could potentially allow future studies to shorten experiment times, thus increasing the viability of game-based intelligence assessment.

Bachelor Degree Project in Media Arts, Aesthetics and Narration 30 ECTS Spring term 2017 Lolo Lin Supervisor: Helena Granström Examiner: Lissa Holloway-Attaway Abstract This research aimed to investigate game developers' preferences and graphical differences between Chinese and Western female game characters. Parts of the survey were conducted in China and in cooperation with Game Hub Scandinavia (2015). For this research, an image analysis and two models were made. The image analysis analyzed common elements that exist between different female characters from Chinese and Western game toplists. One model was based on a Chinese game toplist and the other model was based on a Western game toplist. The survey was conducted through Internet surveys and interviews. Results showed that there were graphical differences between games from Chinese and Western game lists, but there is not a significant difference between game developers' preferences.
