PlotMap: Automated Layout Design for Building Game Worlds

no code implementations26 Sep 2023 Yi Wang, Jieliang Luo, Adam Gaier, Evan Atherton, Hilmar Koch

Concretely, we present a system that leverages Reinforcement Learning (RL) to automatically assign concrete locations on a game map to abstract locations mentioned in a given story (plot facilities), following spatial constraints derived from the story.

Language Model Crossover: Variation through Few-Shot Prompting

1 code implementation23 Feb 2023 Elliot Meyerson, Mark J. Nelson, Herbie Bradley, Adam Gaier, Arash Moradi, Amy K. Hoover, Joel Lehman

The promise of such language model crossover (which is simple to implement and can leverage many different open-source language models) is that it enables a simple mechanism to evolve semantically-rich text representations (with few domain-specific tweaks), and naturally benefits from current progress in language models.

T-DominO: Exploring Multiple Criteria with Quality-Diversity and the Tournament Dominance Objective

1 code implementation4 Jul 2022 Adam Gaier, James Stoddart, Lorenzo Villaggi, Peter J Bentley

Keeping only a single balanced solution in each MAP-Elites bin maintains the visual accessibility of the archive -- a strong asset for design exploration.

COIL: Constrained Optimization in Learned Latent Space: Learning Representations for Valid Solutions

1 code implementation4 Feb 2022 Peter J Bentley, Soo Ling Lim, Adam Gaier, Linh Tran

Constrained optimization problems can be difficult because their search spaces have properties not conducive to search, e. g., multimodality, discontinuities, or deception.

Discovering Representations for Black-box Optimization

1 code implementation9 Mar 2020 Adam Gaier, Alexander Asteroth, Jean-Baptiste Mouret

Our second insight is that this representation can be used to scale quality diversity optimization to higher dimensions -- but only if we carefully mix solutions generated with the learned representation and those generated with traditional variation operators.

Prediction of neural network performance by phenotypic modeling

no code implementations16 Jul 2019 Alexander Hagg, Martin Zaefferer, Jörg Stork, Adam Gaier

This difference, the phenotypic distance, can then be used to situate these networks into a common input space, allowing us to produce surrogate models which can predict the performance of neural networks regardless of topology.

Weight Agnostic Neural Networks

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Adam Gaier, David Ha

We demonstrate that our method can find minimal neural network architectures that can perform several reinforcement learning tasks without weight training.

Data-Efficient Design Exploration through Surrogate-Assisted Illumination

2 code implementations15 Jun 2018 Adam Gaier, Alexander Asteroth, Jean-Baptiste Mouret

Design optimization techniques are often used at the beginning of the design process to explore the space of possible designs.

Data-efficient Neuroevolution with Kernel-Based Surrogate Models

1 code implementation15 Apr 2018 Adam Gaier, Alexander Asteroth, Jean-Baptiste Mouret

Surrogate-assistance approaches have long been used in computationally expensive domains to improve the data-efficiency of optimization algorithms.

Data-Efficient Exploration, Optimization, and Modeling of Diverse Designs through Surrogate-Assisted Illumination

4 code implementations13 Feb 2017 Adam Gaier, Alexander Asteroth, Jean-Baptiste Mouret

The MAP-Elites algorithm produces a set of high-performing solutions that vary according to features defined by the user.
