LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive NPC Behavior in Multi-Agent Combat Games

A runtime strategy-selection framework in which a large language model (LLM) guides a trained RL policy without modifying its underlying behavior is investigated, demonstrating both the potential and limitations of LLM-guided runtime strategy selection for adaptive multi-agent game AI.

Adaptive Exploration and Curriculum Learning for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Multi-agent Reinforcement learning has gained significant attention for solving decision-making problems involving multiple autonomous agents. However, effective learning in MARL is still difficult due to environments, dependencies between agents, and poor exploration strategies. Although adaptive exploration and curri...

What Counts as Strategic Reasoning? A Systematic Mapping of Chess Research on Humans, Engines, and Language Models

Chess has long served as a model domain for studying search, expertise, decision-making, and artificial intelligence. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has renewed the relevance of chess as a controlled environment for investigating strategic reasoning and comparing human and artificial decision-making. We...

Adaptive Non-Playable Characters with Reinforcement Learning: Training and Shipping a Learned Game Opponent

Most Non-playable characters (NPCs) in modern video games still rely on scripted logic, finite state machines, and decision trees. This reliance on hand-authored rules means that their behaviour is easy to predict and repeat, which reduces player immersion and long-term engagement. Although reinforcement learning has b...
