Game Research

Game research explores the design, development, and analysis of games as tools for scientific inquiry and technological advancement. Current research focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning (RL) for procedural content generation, automated game balancing, and player experience analysis, including emotion recognition in virtual reality. These efforts aim to improve game AI, enhance game development processes, and provide valuable insights into human behavior and cognition, impacting fields like artificial intelligence and neuroscience. The development of novel game environments and analysis tools further supports the rigorous evaluation and advancement of these techniques.
