We identify ten main research areas within this field: NPC behavior learning, search and planning, player modeling, games as AI benchmarks, procedural content generation, computational narrative, believable agents, AI-assisted game design, general game artificial intelligence and AI in commercial games. We view and analyze the areas from three key perspectives: (1) the dominant AI method(s) used under each area; (2) the relation of each area with respect to the end (human) user; and (3) the placement of each area within a human-computer (player-game) interaction perspective. In addition, for each of these areas we consider how it could inform or interact with each of the other areas; in those cases where we find that meaningful interaction either exists or is possible, we describe the character of that interaction and provide references to published studies, if any. We believe that this paper improves understanding of the current nature of the game AI/CI research field and the interdependences between its core areas by providing a unifying overview. We also believe that the discussion of potential interactions between research areas provides a pointer to many interesting future research projects and unexplored subfields.

In this paper we present and perform the study and analysis of a computationally efficient approach for each of the three processes, namely a given template face detection, tracking, and recognition. The proposed algorithms are faster relatively to other existing iterative methods. In particular, we show that unlike such iterative methods, the proposed method does not estimate a given face rotation angle or scaling factor by looking into all possible face rotations or scaling factors. The proposed method looks into segmenting and aligning the distance between two eyes' pupils in a given face image with the image x-axis. Reference face images in a given database are normalized with respect to translation, rotation, and scaling. We show here how the proposed method to estimate a given face image template rotation and scaling factor leads to real-time template image rotation and scaling corrections. This allows the recognition algorithm to be less computationally complex than iterative methods.

In this work, we employ the MapRe-duce paradigm to address these issues as an enabling technology for the well-known support vector machine to perform distributed classification of skin segmentation. An open source implementation of MapReduce called Hadoop offers a streaming facility, which allows us to focus on the computational intelligence problem at hand, instead of focusing on the implementation of the learning algorithm. This is the first time that support vector machine has been proposed to operate in a distributed fashion as it is, circumventing the need for long and tedious mathematical derivations. This highlights the main advantages of MapReduce - its generality and distributed computation for machine learning with minimum effort. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of MapReduce when distributed classification is performed even when only two machines are involved, and we highlight some of the intricacies of MapReduce in the context of big data.

• Sharif, N.; Zafar, K.; Zyad, W., "Optimization of requirement prioritization using Computational Intelligence technique," Robotics and Emerging Allied Technologies in Engineering (iCREATE), 2014 International Conference on , vol., no., pp.228,234, 22-24 April 2014 doi: 10.1109/iCREATE.2014.6828370 Abstract: Requirement Engineering (RE) is considered as an important part in Software Development Life Cycle. It is a traditional Software Engineering (SE) process. The goal of RE is to Identify, Analyze, Document and Validate requirements. Requirement Prioritization is a crucial step towards making good decisions about product plan but it is often neglected. It is observed that in many cases the product is considered as a failure without proper prioritization because it fails to meet its core objectives. When a project has tight schedule, restricted resources, and customer expectations are high then it is necessary to deploy the most critical and important features as early as possible. For this purpose requirements are prioritized. Several requirement prioritization techniques have been presented by various researchers over the past years in the domain of SE as well as Computational Intelligence. A new technique is presented in this paper which is a hybrid of both domains named as FuzzyHCV. FuzzyHCV is a hybrid of Hierarchical Cumulative Voting (HCV) and Fuzzy Expert System. Comparative analysis is performed between new technique and an existing HCV technique. Result shows that proposed technique has proved to be more reliable and accurate.

These systems represent a fundamental step in order to fully use communication enhancements by producing concrete value on the way people collaborate to produce more reliable computational systems. These systems evaluate results of analyses in order to organise and optimise source code. These analyses are strongly dependent on technologies (i.e. framework, programming language, libraries) each of them with their own characteristics and syntactic structure. To overcome such limitation, source code classification is an essential preprocessing step to identify which analyses should be evaluated. This paper introduces a new approach for generating content-based classifiers by using Evolutionary Algorithms. Experiments were performed on real world source code collected from more than 200 different open source projects. Results show us that our approach can be successfully used for creating more accurate source code classifiers. The resulting classifier is also expansible and flexible to new classification scenarios (opening perspectives for new technologies).
