For How Long Should We Be Punching? Learning Action Duration in Fighting Games

Hoang Hai Nguyen, Kurt Driessens, Dennis J. N. J. Soemers

Fighting games such as Street Fighter II present unique challenges to reinforcement learning (RL) agents due to their fast-paced, real-time nature. In most RL frameworks, agents ar…

StratFormer: Adaptive Opponent Modeling and Exploitation in Imperfect-Information Games

Andy Caen, Mark H. M. Winands, Dennis J. N. J. Soemers

We present StratFormer, a transformer-based meta-agent that learns to simultaneously model and exploit opponents in imperfect-information games through a two-phase curriculum. The…

Enhancements for Real-Time Monte-Carlo Tree Search in General Video Game Playing

Dennis J. N. J. Soemers, Chiara F. Sironi, Torsten Schuster +1

General Video Game Playing (GVGP) is a field of Artificial Intelligence where agents play a variety of real-time video games that are unknown in advance. This limits the use of dom…
