Advancing Game Development And Ai Integration: An Extensible Game Engine With Integrated Ai Support For Real-World Deployment And Efficient Model Development, Ryan Anderson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
This thesis introduces Acacia, a game engine with built-in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Acacia allows game developers to effortlessly incorporate Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms into their creations. By tagging game elements to convey information about the game state or rewards, developers gain precise control over how RL algorithms interact with their games, mirroring real player behavior or providing full knowledge of the game world.
To showcase Acacia’s versatility, the thesis presents three games across different genres, each demonstrating the engine’s AI plugin. The goal is to establish Acacia as a preferred resource for creating 2D games with RL support without …
Achieving Responsible Anomaly Detection, Xiao Han
Achieving Responsible Anomaly Detection, Xiao Han
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
In the digital transformation era, safeguarding online systems against anomalies – unusual patterns indicating potential threats or malfunctions – has become crucial. This dissertation embarks on enhancing the accuracy, explainability, and ethical integrity of anomaly detection systems. By integrating advanced machine learning techniques, it improves anomaly detection performance and incorporates fairness and explainability at its core.
The research tackles performance enhancement in anomaly detection by leveraging few-shot learning, demonstrating how systems can effectively identify anomalies with minimal training data. This approach overcomes data scarcity challenges. Reinforcement learning is employed to iteratively refine models, enhancing decision-making processes. Transfer learning enables the …
Collaborative Task Completion For Simulated Hexapod Robots Using Reinforcement Learning, Tayler Don Baker
Collaborative Task Completion For Simulated Hexapod Robots Using Reinforcement Learning, Tayler Don Baker
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
There is growing interest in developing autonomous systems capable of exhibiting collaborative behaviors. Using methods such as reinforcement learning is another way to train multiple robots for collaborative task completion. This study was able to successfully in simulation train multiple hexapod robots to push a target to a designated goal collaboratively. This required each robot to learn how find the target and push that target to a goal. This work suggests that using reinforcement learning for collaborative task completion for hexapod robots may simplify the complexity of the software and improve the decisions that they make.
