DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS

PhD. Alexander Dockhorn PhD. Alexander Dockhorn Alexander Dockhorn is Junior professor at the Institute for Information Processing of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University Hannover (LUH). Following his dissertation at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg (OVGU), he worked at the Queen Mary University of London(QMUL) and later came back to the OVGU. During this time, he studied artificial intelligence in general strategy games and began working on abstraction methods to facilitate more efficient search strategies in complex applications. His current research interests include model-based decision-making, transfer learning, and explainable machine learning. He is an active member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), for which he serves as chair of the IEEE CIS Games Technical Committee and the Summer School Subcommittee.

DESCRIPTION
Video games not only underpin one of the world’s most profitable industries but also provides a challenging and general environment for the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI)

This track brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in the field of video games to discuss recent advances and explore future directions. This track covers all topics in the field of games, from game design to intelligence and game theory, including scientific, technical, engineering, and social aspects.

Video games, besides being a kind of digital entertainment that worth billions of dollars worldwide, is indeed, from a technological standpoint, a challenging scenario for the methods of comparative evaluation of computational intelligence, since they provide dynamic and competitive elements related to real-world problems.

This topic aims to bring together leading researchers and professionals, from academia and industry, to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in this field.
