Title: Game Data Science: The State of the Art

Overview

Dr. Periáñez will survey the state of the art of Data Science in the video game industry. Presenting a general summary of the main techniques to predict player behavior, concentrating on those learning methods (e.g. Deep Learning and Ensemble Learning) that help to reduce user attrition, i.e. churn, which is decisive to increase player retention and raise revenues.

The talk will go on to discuss these techniques from the viewpoint of a Game Data Science Engine. The goal of Silicon Studio is to democratize Game Data Science, hence Dr. Periáñez will illicit how the proposed methods can make predictions in an operational business environment and easily adapt to different kinds of games and players—namely, to different data distributions. Dr. Periáñez will focus on flexible techniques that do not need previous manipulation of the data and are able to deal efficiently with the temporal dimension of the churn-prediction problem.
