Character-Based Adaptive Generative Music For Film and Video Games Using Deep Learning and Hidden Markov Models - Dominik Jeurissen
Large Language Models (Llms) Have Sparked a Remarkable Revolution in AI, Demonstrating Reasoning Abilities That Exceeded The Expectations of Many Researchers. Research on Games Like Minecraft Suggests That Llms Knowledge About Games Allows Them to Play Games Without Any Pre-Training Required. However, Most Research on Llm-Powered Game-Playing Agents Has Utilized Them Primarily For Planning. However, Complex Strategy Games Like Total War Require a Lot of Dynamic Decision-Making, Requiring The Agent to Constantly Adapt to Their Current Situation. in This Study, We Aim to Address This Gap by Exploring The Potential of Llms For Playing Complex Strategy Games and How Llms Could Be Used to Playtest These Games. We Will Review The Current State of Research on Llm-Powered Agents, Identify Their Limitations, and Present Our Project Proposal. Finally, We Will Present Our Plans For Achieving This Goal. - Nathan John-McDougall
