  • Machine Learning Arena
    Machine Learning Arena: Creating an ML Based Game A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute By _____________________________________ Grant Ferguson _____________________________________ Jordan Cattelona _____________________________________ Justin Kreiselman _____________________________________ Kyle Corry Date: 12/11/2019 Project Advisors: _____________________________________ Professor Gillian Smith, Advisor _____________________________________ Professor Jacob Whitehill, Advisor ABSTRACT We present a new game, “MLA: Machine Learning Arena”, in which the player’s goal is to train a machine learning agent to win a boxing match. The game features multiple phases, fully animated characters for the player to control, and machine learning integration. We tackled several technical and design challenges in this MQP, including: 1) Communicating machine learning progress through UI elements to the user, 2) Training an effective model for the game agent despite poor training examples from users, 3) Explaining key ideas about machine learning to players with no background in the field. We conduct user testing with 27 human participants to determine if players feel that the ML is learning from them. We found that 85 percent of players were able to distinguish between a random agent and the trained agent. Finally, we offer suggestions for future development: 1) Find new ways to explain machine learning to players through either gameplay or UI metrics, 2) Sanitize the input to make machine learning feel more fulfilling to players, 3) Budget enough time to design, implement, and train machine learning models. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to acknowledge our Professor Advisors, Jacob Whitehill and Gillian Smith, for their oversight and advice on our project. We would also like to thank our human testers who helped to make the game experience better for any future players.
