    Study Notes

    GHOST Optimization Framework

    • GHOST is a combinatorial optimization framework tailored for real-time strategy (RTS) AI developers.
    • Models problems as constraint satisfaction/optimization problems (CSP/COP).
    • Demonstrated through various applications including the RTS game StarCraft.

    Problem Modeling

    • Three types of problems modeled as CSP/COP include:
      • Target Selection: Addressed as a reactive control problem.
      • Wall-in Tactics: Framed as a tactics problem.
      • Build Order Planning: Classified as a strategy problem.
    • Each problem has a specific level of abstraction, crucial for effective modeling and solution finding.

    Performance

    • GHOST achieves good results, solving problems within tens of milliseconds.
    • Outperforms state-of-the-art constraint solvers in several instances.
    • Matches capabilities of conventional solvers in resource allocation problems.

    Generalization and Usability

    • CSP/COP models are versatile and apply to various AI problem domains like:
      • Pathfinding
      • Scheduling
      • Logistics
    • Unlike mathematical programming, CSP/COP algorithms are not restricted to specific problems and allow for easy, intuitive modeling of diverse challenges.
    • GHOST promotes user-friendly design and easy extension for developers.

    RTS Problem Families

    • RTS problems can be decomposed into three abstraction levels:
      • Strategy: High-level decision-making crucial for formulating effective tactics against opponents.
      • Tactics: Intermediate decision elements, focusing on immediate goals and actions.
      • Reactive Control: Fundamental decision mechanisms that respond directly to changing game states.

    Relevance of RTS Games

    • RTS games provide a conducive environment for testing AI models due to:
      • Limited domain complexity yet rich dynamics.
      • Challenges stemming from incomplete information, mimicking real-world decision-making scenarios.
    • Clausewitz’s "fog of war" concept illustrates the difficulties faced by AI in deciphering global states during gameplay.
