Noor Shaker, Ph.D.
Candidate for Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Game Design
Talk Title: "Capturing, Modeling, and Personalizing Player Experience in
Platform Games"
Abstract: How can we measure player experience? What features should be
used to capture player experience and how can they be extracted? How can
we model the unknown function between game content, player behavior and
affect? How can we generate game content that is tailored to particular
player needs and style? This talk explores ways for capturing and
modeling notions of player experience and presents a player-driven
procedural content generation framework for creating personalized game
content that optimizes specific aspects of the gameplay experience for a
specific playing style.
