Talk from @CIGbalance, new member of the QMUL Game AI group group! Best quote so far: “Everybody knows Mario”. :D

Tonight I played Ticket to ride for the first time. I won by 1 point against Giorgia. I guess I’m going to sleep on the floor. Totally worth it!

So I have been working on the #audio #programming of a very fun project in the past months..go grab it! 📣⛳

I don’t want a lot for Christmas✨ There is just one thing I need ✨ I don’t care about the presents ✨ Underneath the Christmas treeee✨ All I want for Christmasss ✨ Is✨ Brexit to fuck off thx

But really, looking around the field at the amazing and challenging tasks being tackled by my colleagues, seeing a computer beat a human at a videogame, I dunno. It's not the future of the field. I want more from the next decade of artificial intelligence.

Nice work by Dr. Raluca D. Gaina and Ivan Bravi on our AAAI Workshop poster for next week: github.com/SimonLucas/ntb…

A @cog2019ieee deadline tale in 5 acts. 1) Test rnd vs RHEA on my brand-new framework for sanity check. Win rates:50/50 2)* PANIC * 3) Realise RHEA parameters were not tuned. 4) Test rnd vs tuned-RHEA. Win rates: 0/100. 5) Exhale Lesson: tune your agents kids!

This year the IEEE Conference on Games is trying something new by inviting industry talks with a lightweight submission process similar to #GDC & Develop:Brighton 2026 in an effort to bring academic researchers and industry practitioners closer together and to align on common goals. [1/4]

How do you build a dynamic, immersive world where players have an impact? Learn from the team that built the worlds of StarlinkGame , #AI Team Lead Jon Paul Schelter & #LevelDesign Director Eduardo Hulshof. See Jon Paul at #CoG2019 Free Industry Day: bit.ly/IEEECog2019

This place is welcoming 400+ people to kick-start the first @cog2019ieee ever tomorrow morning. We start with an open & free day about all games industry and research - ieee-cog.org/industry_day/ Crossing all my fingers for a great #CoG2019!

#CoG2019 is lots of fun! Especially if you’ve got such awesome people around 😊 Ahmed Khalifa Dr. Raluca D. Gaina and Valerio

Ah! That’s me! The paper introduces Rinascimento, a new framework for game AI developed to make it easy to tune agents and explore the space of Splendor-like games! Check out the paper for more details ieee-cog.org/papers/paper_1…

Almost 3am, after the last goodbyes, a last thought to #CoG2019, very sleepy but somehow fully reenergised by this amazing community!

Apparently I'll be one of the guests! Ah, that's a new thing :) Let's hope my brain won't freeze :D Streaming NOW!
