Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Traditional methods of video game bug detection, such as manual testing, have been effective, but they can also be time-consuming and costly. While Automated Bug Detection (ABD) techniques hold great promise for improving testing, they still face several challenges that need to be addressed to be effective in practice. In this work, we introduce a new framework to detect perceptual bugs using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, which detects bugs in games as anomalies. The detected buggy frames are then clustered to determine the category of the occurred bug. The framework was evaluated on two First Person Shooter (FPS) games. We further enhanced the framework by implementing a Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent to autonomously gather datasets, effectively addressing the need for human players to collect data and manually browse through games. The enhancement was performed on a Role-Playing Game (RPG). The outcomes obtained validate the effectiveness of the framework.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
