AIcrowd | The Neural-MMO Challenge | Challenges
In this challenge, you will design and build agents that can survive and thrive in a massively multiagent environment full of potential adversaries. Explore Neural MMO's procedurally generated maps, scavenge for resources, and acquire equipment to protect yourself while preventing other participants from doing the same.
You may use scripted, learned, or hybrid approaches incorporating any information and leveraging any computational budget for development. The only requirement is that you submit an agent that we can evaluate (see the Competition Structure section below).
Your agents will score points by completing high-level foraging, combat, and exploration objectives. Your agents will compete in tournaments against scripted bots and agents designed by other participants. We will assign a skill rating to your policy based on task completion, taking into account the skill of your opponents. The policy with the highest skill rating wins.
Neural-MMO is a platform for massively multiagent research featuring hundreds of concurrent agents, multi-thousand-step time horizons, high-level task objectives, and large, procedurally generated maps. Unlike game genres typically considered in reinforcement learning and agent-based intelligence in general, Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games simulate persistent worlds that support rich player interactions and a wider variety of progression strategies. These properties seem important to intelligence in the real world, and the objective of this competition is to spur agent-based research on increasingly general environments.
