Our agent,\nnamed Golovin, takes advantage of the limited game domain. We use genre-related\ncorpora (including fantasy books and decompiled games) to create language\nmodels suitable to this domain. Moreover, we embed mechanisms that allow us to\nspecify, and separately handle, important tasks as fighting opponents, managing\ninventory, and navigating on the game map.\n  We validated usefulness of these mechanisms, measuring agent's performance on\nthe set of 50 interactive fiction games. Finally, we show that our agent plays\non a level comparable to the winner of the last year Text-Based Adventure AI\nCompetition.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1705.05637v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05637v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"text-based-adventures-of-the-golovin-ai-agent","repo_url":"https://github.com/BYU-PCCL/z-machine-games","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"text-based-adventures-of-the-golovin-ai-agent","repo_url":"https://github.com/asannasi/txt_adv_nlp","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"ai-agent","task_name":"AI Agent"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1705.05637","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1705.05637","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
