Up to this moment research in this kind of environments, which can be formalized as Partially Observable Stochastic Games, has been more from a game theoretic point of view, thus focusing on the pursue of optimality and equilibrium, with no attention to payoff maximization, which may be more interesting in many real-world contexts.

On the other hand Reinforcement Learning techniques demonstrated to be successful in solving both fully observable problems, single and multi-agent, and single-agent partially observable ones, while lacking application to the partially observable multi-agent framework.

This research aims at studying the solution of Partially Observable Stochastic Games, analyzing the possibility to combine the Opponent Modeling concept with the well proven Reinforcement Learning solution techniques to solve problems in this framework, adopting Poker as testbed.

Project phases:

• Design and implementation of the game (it is possible to start form avaliable open source game)
• Design of experimental protocol used to stimulate particolar emotions.
• Data acquisition by usign biological sensors during the playing experience.
• Off-line classification of data with avaliable tools.
• Desing and develop of on-line classifier sistem for emotion recognition
• Closed loop control: the game reacts to the user emotional state changing its behaviour.

These projects allow to experiment with biological-data acquisition tools and videogames design.

The project consists on the realization of one or more phases depending on the difficulty/cfu to be achieved and to the competences of the candidate(s)

Project phases:

• Design and implementation of the multimedia application.
• Design of experimental protocol used to stimulate particolar emotions.
• Data acquisition by usign biological sensors during the multimedia experience.
• Off-line classification of data with avaliable tools.
• Desing and develop of on-line classifier sistem for emotion recognition
• Closed loop control: the multimedia application will provide contents according to your enjoyment .
