Procedural Content Generation via Machine Learning (PCGML) refers to methods that apply machine learning algorithms to generate game content. In particular, the generation of game item descriptions requires techniques to evaluate the similarity between items, and consequently their creativity. This paper improves the BLEU2vec text similarity evaluation technique by integrating it with Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) to capture the relevance of compound words in generated game item descriptions. This novel technique, called Split BLEU2vec, splits compound words into sub-words enabling their similarity evaluation. Our results show that when compared to BLEU2vec baseline, Split BLEu2vec is able to account for semantic embedding of compound words in item descriptions of the game Legend of Zelda.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
