The first in a multi-part series of public lectures on AI in games. Recorded on 20th October 2014 at the University of Derby.
In this first video, we detail some of the most interesting work in using video games as benchmarks within the AI research community. This is largely focussed on four competition benchmarks:
– The Ms. Pac-Man Competition
– The Mario AI Competition
– The 2K BotPrize
– The Starcraft AI Competition
Full credit must be given to the following authors of videos used in this presentation:

“CIG 2010 Level Generator Entry” (UCSCweber)
“BotPrize Video” (Sean Williams)
