392263 ISY Project: Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games (Pj) (SoSe 2020)

In the project, you will gain practical experience with Learning Architectures for Artificial Intelligence in simulated environments, apply neural networks, and Human-Brain inspired approaches (eye-movements, visual search, attention-based mechanisms, symbolic reasoning) to learn and produce complex purposeful actions in the context of one of the following environments on your choice [1-8]. Advanced students will get a chance to participate in AI competitions, e.g. [9]

In case this would not find enough interest for a team project, this project proposal would be also offered (in reduced/modified form)
[x] as individual project 
[x] as project for 2-3 students

Requirements for participation, required level
