Challenge: Esports play logs are expensive for human experts to provide individual games with play-by-play commentaries.
Approach: They first build large-scale esports data-to-text datasets that pair structured data and commentaries from a popular eSports game, League of Legends.
Outcome: The proposed model can generate game commentaries from esports’ data records while examining the impact of the pre-trained language models.

SOCCER: An Information-Sparse Discourse State Tracking Collection in the Sports Commentary Domain (2021.naacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods for state tracking are limited and state changes are less densely distributed over utterances.
Approach: They propose to turn to simplified, fully observable systems that show some of these properties.
Outcome: The proposed system shows that state changes occur infrequently while messages are "chatter" it allows for rich descriptions of state while avoiding the complexities of other settings.
MCS: An In-battle Commentary System for MOBA Games (2022.coling-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: In-battle commentary is an important component of live streaming of e-sports competitions and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios like combat information analysis and live streaming.
Approach: They propose a generative system for in-battle real-time commentary in mobile MOBA games and propose 'transform' method to convert match statistics and utterances into consistent encoding space.
Outcome: The proposed system is based on real-time match statistics and events and can be used for live streaming, e-sports commentary and combat information analysis.
