Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for updating and optimizing task scheduling policies are disclosed. A new policy is obtained and updated at runtime by a client based on a server analyzing a wide spectrum of telemetry data on a relatively long time scale. Instead of only looking at the telemetry data from the client's execution of tasks for the previous frame, the server analyzes the execution times of tasks for multiple previous frames so as to determine a more optimal policy for subsequent frames. This mechanism enables making a more informed task scheduling policy decision as well as customizing the policy per application, game, and user without requiring a driver update. Also, this mechanism facilitates improved load balancing across the various processing engines, each of which has their own task queues. The improved load balancing is achieved by analyzing the telemetry data including resource utilization statistics for the different processing engines.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques utilize reinforcement learning to efficiently schedule a sequence of jobs for execution by one or more processing threads. A first sequence of execution jobs associated with rendering a target frame of a sequence of frames is received. One or more reward metrics related to rendering the target frame are selected. A modified sequence of execution jobs for rendering the target frame is generated, such as by reordering the first sequence of execution jobs. The modified sequence is evaluated with respect to the selected reward metric(s); and rendering the target frame is initiated based at least in part on the evaluating of the modified sequence with respect to the one or more selected reward metric(s).

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting personal-space violations in artificial intelligence (AI) based non-player characters (NPCs) are disclosed. An AI engine creates a NPC that accompanies and/or interacts with a player controlled by a user playing a video game. During gameplay, measures of context-dependent personal space around the player and/or one or more NPCs are generated. A control circuit monitors the movements of the NPC during gameplay and determines whether the NPC is adhering to or violating the measures of context-dependent personal space. The control circuit can monitor the movements of multiple NPCs simultaneously during gameplay, keeping a separate score for each NPC. After some amount of time has elapsed, the scores of the NPCs are recorded, and then the scores are provided to a machine learning engine to retrain the AI engines controlling the NPCs.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing adaptive audio mixing are disclosed. A trained neural network dynamically selects and mixes pre-recorded, human-composed music stems that are composed as mutually compatible sets. Stem and track selection, volume mixing, filtering, dynamic compression, acoustical/reverberant characteristics, segues, tempo, beat-matching and crossfading parameters generated by the neural network are inferred from the game scene characteristics and other dynamically changing factors. The trained neural network selects an artist's pre-recorded stems and mixes the stems in real-time in unique ways to dynamically adjust and modify background music based on factors such as game scenario, the unique storyline of the player, scene elements, the player's profile, interest, and performance, adjustments made to game controls (e.g., music volume), number of viewers, received comments, player's popularity, player's native language, player's presence, and/or other factors. The trained neural network creates unique music that dynamically varies according to real-time circumstances.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for creating human-like non-player character (NPC) behavior with reinforcement learning (RL) are disclosed. An artificial intelligence (AI) engine creates a NPC that has seamless movement when accompanying a player controlled by a user playing a video game. The AI engine is RL-trained to stay close to the player but not get in the player's way while acting in a human-like manner. Also, the AI engine is RL-trained to evaluate the quality of information that is received over time from other AI engines and then to act on the evaluated information quality. Each AI agent is trained to evaluate the other AI agents and determine whether another AI agent is a friend or a foe. In some cases, groups of AI agents collaborate together to either help or hinder the player. The capabilities of each AI agent are independent from the capabilities of other AI agents.
