Playing Tetris with deep reinforcement learning
Tetris is a hard game to learn due to its random environment, large state space, and need for a long-term strategy. The offline version of the game is shown to be NP-hard. The state-of-the-art approach, CBMPI, is a hybrid algorithm based on evolution algorithms and policy iteration. It uses …

Projected equation and aggregation-based approximate dynamic programming methods for Tetris
… methods and test the methods with the game of Tetris. We focus on ADP methods where the cost-to- go function J is approximated with [phi]r, where [phi] is some matrix and r is a vector with relatively low dimension. There are two major categories of methods: projected equation methods and …

Cognitive Processes in Craving: From the Laboratory to the Real World.
… in experiment 2. Experiment 3 found that playing Tetris reduced craving relative to a no-task control (watching a load screen), but was no more effective than digit recall or counting in ones. Experiments 4 and 5 both compared the effects of visual pattern recall with digit recall, with …

Adapting existing games for education using speech recognition
… the purpose of learning. Arcade-style games like Tetris and Pac-man are often difficult to adapt for educational purposes because their fast-paced intensity and keystroke-heavy nature leave little room for simultaneous practice of other skills. Incorporating spoken language technology could make …

Effects of behavioral tasks on memory reconsolidation and trauma-related symptoms : a randomized clinical trial
… studies suggest that visuospatial tasks (e.g., Tetris) may disrupt the reconsolidation of fear memories and may have clinical utility for the treatment of PTSD. The overarching objective of this dissertation was to investigate the effects of a visuospatial task on memory reconsolidation and …

Study of thermal kinetics in artificial spin ice systems
… process. Lastly, we study two lattices, a tetris lattice and Santa Fe lattices, on the transitions among their degenerate ground states and the related dynamic process. These efforts serve as a collective advancement in understanding the thermal kinetics of artificial spin ice systems.

Applying quantitative models to evaluate complexity in video game systems
… that are useful to analyzing videogames using Tetris as a case study, and then it examines and dissects the shortcomings of a direct usability approach and offers solutions based on a strategy game example. A third case study of the idle worker scenario in strategy games is detailed to further …

A novel storage area network (SAN) extension solution over passive optical networks (PONs)
… In DRM, a new buffer management scheme, Tetris, is proposed to manage the buffer pools of XtenOLT, in order to improve SAN extension throughput and utility. Our experimental results show that, in the physical layer, the proposed S-PON transmission technologies successfully deliver SAN …

A data-driven, player-centric approach to designing spatial skill training video games
… games, such as Medal of Honor, Portal 2, and Tetris, have been empirically shown to improve players' spatial skills after just a few hours of training [3, 4, 5], and video games provide a motivational advantage over other forms of spatial skill training interventions since they are designed to …
