Benchmarking ML based navigation systems in video games

This project develops and benchmarks novel offline training algorithms for AI navigation in gaming environments. As such, it is intended to be a self-contained project. Traditional video game navigation heavily relies on navigation meshes (navmeshes) for pathfinding. Navmeshes offer a simplified representation of complex environments but face limitations in portraying nuanced navigation abilities, such as […]

Functional analysis of subgroup IV CDPKs in soybean

Soybean stands as one of the major field crops globally. However, its production encounters annual yield losses, partially attributed to pathogenic threats. To enhance the immunity of crops such as soybean, it is crucial to comprehend the molecular mechanisms of immune signaling. Building on our prior research, we propose that specific CDPKs may represent promising […]
