How do visual skills relate to action video game performance?

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Arthur Barakat

It has been claimed that video gamers possess increased perceptual and cognitive skills compared to non-video gamers. Here, we examined to which extent gaming performance in CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) correlates with visual performance.We tes ...

Mixed Nash Equilibria in the Adversarial Examples Game

Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

This paper tackles the problem of adversarial examples from a game theoretic point of view. We study the open question of the existence of mixed Nash equilibria in the zero-sum game formed by the attacker and the classifier. While previous works usually al ...

Design of Dynamic Tangible Workspaces for Games: Application on Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Pierre Dillenbourg, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Barbara Bruno, Ayberk Özgür

A key element for the success of any game is its ability to produce a different experience at each round, thus keeping the player engagement high. This is particularly important for those games that also have a serious objective, such as gamified rehabilit ...

Gamified Motor Training With Tangible Robots in Older Adults: A Feasibility Study and Comparison With the Young

Pierre Dillenbourg, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Ayberk Özgür, Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen, Arzu Güneysu Özgür

Background: An increasing lifespan and the resulting change in our expectations of later life stages are dependent on a good health state. This emphasizes the importance of the development of strategies to further strengthen healthy aging. One important as ...

Motivating Innovation: The Effect of Loss Aversion on the Willingness to Persist

Kenneth Younge

We investigate the willingness of individuals to persist at exploration in the face of failure. Prior research suggests that the organization's "tolerance for failure" may motivate greater exploration by the individual. Little is known, however, about how ...

Towards an Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation Game with Tangible Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Ayberk Özgür, Louis Pierre Faucon, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior

A key feature of a successful game is its ability to provide the player with an adequate level of challenge. However, the objective of difficulty adaptation in serious games is not only to maintain the player’s motivation by challenging, but also to ensure ...

Location leakage in distance bounding: Why location privacy does not work

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

In many cases, we can only have access to a service by proving we are sufficiently close to a particular location (e.g. in automobile or building access control). In these cases, proximity can be guaranteed through signal attenuation. However, by using add ...

Multi-Agent Learning for Resource Allocation Problems

Ludek Cigler

We analyze resource allocation problems where N independent agents want to access C resources. Each resource can be only accessed by one agent at a time. In order to use the resources efficiently, the agents need to coordinate their access. We focus on dec ...

Decentralized Anti-coordination Through Multi-agent Learning

Boi Faltings, Ludek Cigler

To achieve an optimal outcome in many situations, agents need to choose distinct actions from one another. This is the case notably in many resource allocation problems, where a single resource can only be used by one agent at a time. How shall a designer ...

Modeling an America's Cup Regatta as a Sequential Stochastic Game

Jean-Benoît Rossel

The main objective of this thesis is to model a regatta in the America’s Cup, and more precisely the first leg of the race, where the two competing sailboats have to move upwind. During the race, each crew attempts to be the first to reach the end of this ...

A survey of stochastic omega-regular games

We summarize classical and recent results about two-player games played on graphs with omega-regular objectives. These games have applications in the verification and synthesis of reactive systems. Important distinctions are whether a graph game is turn-ba ...

Game-theoretic Models of Web Credibility

Karl Aberer

Research on Web credibility assessment can significantly benefit from new models that are better suited for evaluation and study of adversary strategies. Currently employed models lack several important aspects, such as the explicit modeling of Web content ...

A game of international climate policy solved by a homogeneous oracle-based method for variational inequalities

Marc Vielle, Alain Haurie

This paper presents a game-theoretic model for the international negotiations that should take place to renew or extend the Kyoto protocol beyond 2012. These negotiations should lead to a self-enforcing agreement on a burden sharing scheme to realize the n ...
