Abstract:
Goal recognition is the task of inferring users’ goals from sequences of observed actions. By enabling player-adaptive digital games to dynamically adjust their behavior in concert with players’ changing goals, goal recognition can inform adaptive decision making for a broad range of entertainment, training, and education applications. This paper presents a goal recognition framework based on Markov logic networks (MLN). The model’s parameters are directly learned from a corpus of actions that was collected through player interactions with a non-linear educational game. An empirical evaluation demonstrates that the MLN goal recognition framework accurately predicts players’ goals in a game environment with multiple solution paths.
