Evolutionary search via the quality-diversity (QD) paradigm can discover highly performing solutions in different behavioural niches, showing considerable potential in complex real…
MAP-Elites with Transverse Assessment for Multimodal Problems in Creative Domains
Marvin Zammit, Antonios Liapis, Georgios N. Yannakakis
The recent advances in language-based generative models have paved the way for the orchestration of multiple generators of different artefact types (text, image, audio, etc.) into…
Large Language Models and Games: A Survey and Roadmap
Roberto Gallotta, Graham Todd, Marvin Zammit +4
Recent years have seen an explosive increase in research on large language models (LLMs), and accompanying public engagement on the topic. While starting as a niche area within nat…
BehAVE: Behaviour Alignment of Video Game Encodings
Nemanja Rašajski, Chintan Trivedi, Konstantinos Makantasis +2
