Abstract

The ability to correctly anticipate an opponent’s next action in real-time adversarial environments depends on both, the amount of collected observations of that agent’s behavior as well as on the capability to incorporate new knowledge into the opponent model easily. We present a novel approach to instance-based action prediction that utilizes graph-based structures for the efficiency of retrieval, that scales logarithmically with the amount of training data, and that can be used in an online and anytime manner. We apply this algorithm to the use case of predicting a dribbling agent’s next action in Soccer Simulation 2D.

Footnotes
1
While the definition given here focuses on classification tasks, a straightforward generalization to other tasks like regression or mere retrieval can easily be made.
 
2
We emphasize that all discussed approaches are easily parallelizable and that computation times could, thus, be reduced dramatically given the appropriate hardware.
