Abstract:

Social relationships are the basis for communication and collaboration between players in many online games. In this article, we propose a machine-learning-based approach to model the relationship between players and guilds in online games. Our approach combines deep learning techniques with useful prior expert knowledge, where the core component is a graph convolutional network that is designed to utilize both social relationships and behavior preferences of players. For each player in the game, the model is trained to estimate the likelihood of whether the player matches the guild, which enables rapid matching of players and guilds via recommendation. The proposed approach is evaluated on an industrial dataset collected from a popular online game and also deployed in the game as a basic component of the social system. Experimental results show that our approach is not only intuitive but also very superior to other baseline methods.
