  • Automatic Generation of Text for Match Recaps Using Esport Caster Commentaries
    AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF TEXT FOR MATCH RECAPS USING ESPORT CASTER COMMENTARIES Oluseyi Olarewaju1, Athanasios V. Kokkinakis1, Simon Demediuk2, Justus Roberstson1, Isabelle Nölle1, Sagarika Patra1, Daniel Slawson1, Alan P. Chitayat1, Alistair Coates1, Ben Kirman2, Anders Drachen2, Marian Ursu2, Florian Block2 and Jonathan Hook2 1Weavr, Arena Research Cluster (ARC), University of York, York, UK 2DC Labs, Arena Research Cluster (ARC), University of York, York, UK ABSTRACT Unlike traditional physical sports, Esport games are played using wholly digital platforms. As a consequence, there exists rich data (in-game, audio and video) about the events that take place in matches. These data offer viable linguistic resources for generating comprehensible text descriptions of matches, which could, be used as the basis of novel text-based spectator experiences. We present a study that investigates if users perceive text generated by the NLG system as an accurate recap of highlight moments. We also explore how the text generated supported viewer understanding of highlight moments in two scenarios: i) text as an alternative way to spectate a match, instead of viewing the main broadcast; and ii) text as an additional information resource to be consumed while viewing the main broadcast. Our study provided insights on the implications of the presentation strategies for use of text in recapping highlight moments to Dota 2 spectators. KEYWORDS Esport, Data-Driven Storytelling, Dota 2, Game Analytics, Broadcasting, social viewing, Linguistic Resources, Natural Language Generation. 1. INTRODUCTION Advances in Natural language generation (NLG) and data-to-text tools have found relative success outside esport (e.g. weather forecasting, robojournalism, traditional sport summaries and fantasy football).

  • Testimony of the Department of the Attorney General Thirtieth Legislature, 2020
    TESTIMONY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2020 ON THE FOLLOWING MEASURE: H.B. NO. 2457, H.D. 2, RELATING TO THE YOUTH VAPING EPIDEMIC. BEFORE THE: HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE DATE: Tuesday, February 25, 2020 TIME: 12:30 p.m. LOCATION: State Capitol, Room 308 TESTIFIER(S): Clare E. Connors, Attorney General, or Delanie D. Prescott-Tate, Deputy Attorney General Chair Luke and Members of the Committee: The Department of the Attorney General offers the following comments on this bill. The bill seeks to address the significant risks to public health caused by the rapidly growing use of electronic smoking devices and e-liquids in Hawaii, especially among the youth. The bill seeks to establish a safe harbor for disposal of electronic cigarettes by persons under twenty-one years of age; allows public school teachers or educators to confiscate an electronic smoking device found in the possession of a student under twenty-one years of age; establishes the offense of sale or advertising of tobacco products within the Hawaii Penal Code; and amends section 712-1258(6), Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), by increasing the available sentencing options for violating the criminal offense of selling or furnishing tobacco products to persons under twenty-one years of age. The Department of the Attorney General recommends that the term "heated tobacco products" be stricken from the definition of "e-liquid" on page 9, lines 3 to 4, because "heated tobacco products" are already included in the definition of "cigarette" under section 675-2(d), HRS (2016), and therefore are already regulated.
