| 2025 | Cardiverse: Harnessing LLMs for Novel Card Game PrototypingabstractThe prototyping of computer games, particularly card games, requires extensive human effort in creative ideation and gameplay evaluation.Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer opportunities to automate and streamline these processes.However, it remains challenging for LLMs to design novel game mechanics beyond existing databases, generate consistent gameplay environments, and develop scalable gameplay AI for large-scale evaluations.This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a comprehensive automated card game prototyping framework.The approach highlights a graph-based indexing method for generating novel game variations, an LLM-driven system for consistent game code generation validated by gameplay records, and a gameplay AI constructing method that uses an ensemble of LLM-generated heuristic functions optimized through self-play.These contributions aim to accelerate card game prototyping, reduce human labor, and lower barriers to entry for game developers.

| 2024 | Learning from Synthetic Human Group ActivitiesabstractThe study of complex human interactions and group activities has become a focal point in human-centric computer vision. However, progress in related tasks is often hindered by the challenges of obtaining large-scale labeled datasets from real-world scenarios. To address the limitation, we introduce M3 Act, a synthetic data generator for multi-view multi-group multi-person human atomic actions and group activities. Powered by Unity Engine, M3 Act features mul-tiple semantic groups, highly diverse and photorealistic images, and a comprehensive set of annotations, which facilitates the learning of human-centered tasks across single-person, multi-person, and multi-group conditions. We demonstrate the advantages of M3 Act across three core experiments. The results suggest our synthetic dataset can significantly improve the performance of several downstream methods and replace real-world datasets to reduce cost. Notably, M3 Act improves the state-of-the-art MOTRv2 on DanceTrack dataset, leading to a hop on the leaderboard from 10thto 2ndplace. Moreover, M3 Act opens new research for controllable 3D group activity generation. We define multiple metrics and propose a competitive baseline for the novel task.

| 2024 | From Words to Worlds: Transforming One-line Prompts into Multi-modal Digital Stories with LLM AgentsabstractDigital storytelling, essential in entertainment, education, and marketing, faces challenges in generation efficiency. The StoryAgent framework, introduced in this paper, utilizes Large Language Models and generative tools to automate and refine digital storytelling. Employing a top-down story drafting and bottom-up asset generation approach, StoryAgent tackles key issues such as manual intervention, interactive scene orchestration, and narrative consistency. This framework enables efficient production of interactive and consistent digital storytellings across multiple modalities, democratizing content creation and enhancing engagement.
