{"pk":24408,"title":"CogSimulator: A Model for Simulating User Cognition & Behavior with Minimal Data for Tailored Cognitive Enhancement","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The interplay between cognition and gaming, notably through educational games enhancing cognitive skills, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This research introduces the CogSimulator, a novel algorithm for simulating user cognition in small-group settings with minimal data, as the educational game Wordle exemplifies. The CogSimulator employs Wasserstein-1 distance and coordinates search optimization for hyperparameter tuning, enabling precise few-shot predictions in new game scenarios. Comparative experiments with the Wordle dataset illustrate that our model surpasses most conventional machine learning models in mean Wasserstein-1 distance, mean squared error, and mean accuracy, showcasing its efficacy in cognitive enhancement through tailored game design.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Artificial Intelligence; Education; Group Behaviour; Skill acquisition and learning; Computational Modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4tp184s9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Weizhen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bian","name_suffix":"","institution":"HKUST","department":""},{"first_name":"Yubo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zhou","name_suffix":"","institution":"HKBU","department":""},{"first_name":"Yuanhang","middle_name":"","last_name":"Luo","name_suffix":"","institution":"PolyU","department":""},{"first_name":"Ming","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mo","name_suffix":"","institution":"LSE","department":""},{"first_name":"Siyan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Liu","name_suffix":"","institution":"NUS","department":""},{"first_name":"Yikai","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gong","name_suffix":"","institution":"HKBU","department":""},{"first_name":"Ziyuan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Luo","name_suffix":"","institution":"HKBU","department":""},{"first_name":"Aobo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wang","name_suffix":"","institution":"NUS","department":""},{"first_name":"Renjie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wan","name_suffix":"","institution":"HKBU","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24408/galley/14005/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24408/galley/21017/download/"}]}
