Learning Outcome

Once the student has passed the course, they will have achieved the following learning outcomes: 

Knowledge

The student

  • understands the complexity of various machine learning (ML) algorithms and their limitations in training
  • understands issues and roles of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the design of games
  • understands tactical and strategic AI used in gaming scenario
Skills

The student

  • can explain the general idea behind ML, as well as specific algorithms that are being used in real world scenarios
  • can use ML methodology for research and industrial settings using current trend of ML software libraries
  • can implement and apply ML methods to any chosen game
  • can perform experiments in ML using real-world game scenario
  • is capable of confidently applying common ML algorithms in practice and implementing their own algorithm
  • can program autonomous movement of avatars
  • can read and understand scientific publications on ML/AI and formulate current issues, choice of methods, and results in a short, concise manner
  • capable of producing games where the avatar navigates around and performs actions based on waypoint, behaviour tree
  • can design game to have the avatar to learn about the playing scenario based on genetic algorithm and artificial neural network

 

General competence

The student
