  • Publication number: 20220370913
    Abstract: A processor executes program code that represents a portion of a video game and adds a sequence of text strings that represent game events to a text log during execution of the program code. The processor (or another processor that has access to the text log) performs a natural language processing (NLP) analysis of the text log to determine one or more characteristics of the portion of the video game. In some cases, the NLP analysis includes a sentiment analysis that attempts to determine characteristics of a player's experience while playing the video game, summarization technology that creates a human-readable summary of an aspect of the game or a portion of the video game, a semantic NLP ML algorithm in the semantic similarity modality to answer questions regarding the player's experience during the video game, or grouping players in a multiplayer game based on in-game behavior.
