Procedural Content Generation via Knowledge Transformation (PCG-KT)

no code implementations1 May 2023 Anurag Sarkar, Matthew Guzdial, Sam Snodgrass, Adam Summerville, Tiago Machado, Gillian Smith

We introduce the concept of Procedural Content Generation via Knowledge Transformation (PCG-KT), a new lens and framework for characterizing PCG methods and approaches in which content generation is enabled by the process of knowledge transformation -- transforming knowledge derived from one domain in order to apply it in another.

Deep Learning for Procedural Content Generation

no code implementations9 Oct 2020 Jialin Liu, Sam Snodgrass, Ahmed Khalifa, Sebastian Risi, Georgios N. Yannakakis, Julian Togelius

This article surveys the various deep learning methods that have been applied to generate game content directly or indirectly, discusses deep learning methods that could be used for content generation purposes but are rarely used today, and envisages some limitations and potential future directions of deep learning for procedural content generation.

Exploring Level Blending across Platformers via Paths and Affordances

no code implementations22 Aug 2020 Anurag Sarkar, Adam Summerville, Sam Snodgrass, Gerard Bentley, Joseph Osborn

Techniques for procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML) have been shown to be useful for generating novel game content.

Multi-Domain Level Generation and Blending with Sketches via Example-Driven BSP and Variational Autoencoders

no code implementations17 Jun 2020 Sam Snodgrass, Anurag Sarkar

In this paper, we present a PCGML approach for level generation that is able to recombine, adapt, and reuse structural patterns from several domains to approximate unseen domains.

Capturing Local and Global Patterns in Procedural Content Generation via Machine Learning

no code implementations26 May 2020 Vanessa Volz, Niels Justesen, Sam Snodgrass, Sahar Asadi, Sami Purmonen, Christoffer Holmgård, Julian Togelius, Sebastian Risi

Recent procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML) methods allow learning from existing content to produce similar content automatically.
