Automated Game Design Learning

While general game playing is an active field of research, the learning of game design has tended to be either a secondary goal of such research or it has been solely the domain of humans. We propose a field of research, Automated Game Design Learning (AGDL), with the direct purpose of learning game designs directly through interaction with games in the mode that most people experience games: via play. We detail existing work that touches the edges of this field, describe current successful projects in AGDL and the theoretical foundations that enable them, point to promising applications enabled by AGDL, and discuss next steps for this exciting area of study. The key moves of AGDL are to use game programs as the ultimate source of truth about their own design, and to make these design properties available to other systems and avenues of inquiry.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures.

A cloud-based tool for sentiment analysis in reviews about restaurants on TripAdvisor

The tourism industry has been promoting its products and services based on the reviews that people often write on travel websites like TripAdvisor.com, Booking.com and other platforms like these. These reviews have a profound effect on the decision making process when evaluating which places to visit, such as which restaurants to book, etc. In this contribution is presented a cloud based software tool for the massive analysis of this social media data (TripAdvisor.com). The main characteristics of the tool developed are: i) the ability to aggregate data obtained from social media; ii) the possibility of carrying out combined analyses of both people and comments; iii) the ability to detect the sense (positive, negative or neutral) in which the comments rotate, quantifying the degree to which they are positive or negative, as well as predicting behaviour patterns from this information; and iv) the ease of doing everything in the same application (data downloading, pre-processing, analysis and visualisation). As a test and validation case, more than 33.500 revisions written in English on restaurants in the Province of Granada (Spain) were analyse

Evaluation of IoT-Based Computational Intelligence Tools for DNA Sequence Analysis in Bioinformatics

In contemporary age, Computational Intelligence (CI) performs an essential role in the interpretation of big biological data considering that it could provide all of the molecular biology and DNA sequencing computations. For this purpose, many researchers have attempted to implement different tools in this field and have competed aggressively. Hence, determining the best of them among the enormous number of available tools is not an easy task, selecting the one which accomplishes big data in the concise time and with no error can significantly improve the scientist's contribution in the bioinformatics field. This study uses different analysis and methods such as Fuzzy, Dempster-Shafer, Murphy and Entropy Shannon to provide the most significant and reliable evaluation of IoT-based computational intelligence tools for DNA sequence analysis. The outcomes of this study can be advantageous to the bioinformatics community, researchers and experts in big biological data
