AI Technology & Industry Review
University of Zurich and ETH Zurich’s deep reinforcement learning agents have achieved superhuman performance in the time trials of popular racing simulator game Gran Turismo Sport.
Using cross-modality transfer techniques and reinforcement learning (RL), the researchers produced an agent that can play video games with only the game audio to guide it.
A team of researchers has proposed a Generative Adversarial Network based model tasked with creating playable and aesthetically appealing game levels for popular action-adventure video game series The Legend of Zelda.
Researchers using enhanced super-resolution technology are giving classic video games of the past incredible, texture-rich visual makeovers. The team has released ‘remastered’ versions of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and most recently — a visually enhanced version of 2001 third-person shooter game Max Payne.
A Google engineer has used AI to enable humans to throw virtual punches and kicks at the tough guys in popular fighting video game Mortal Kombat3.
