What the Tech? is a podcast powered by the Computer Science Department of UCalgary. Here to deconstruct complex computer science concepts, and explain what the tech’s going on?
In this episode, we talk to Richard Zhao - a new professor at UCalgary who’s research focuses on video games. Today, we find what the tech is up with the AI in these games, and we talk about concepts like player adaptation, reinforcement learning, and the potential future of video games with VR. Without further ado, please welcome our guest, Richard Zhao
