  • 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).
