With the rise of multiplayer online games, real-time voice communication is essential for team coordination. However, general ASR systems struggle with gaming-specific challenges like short phrases, rapid speech, jargon, and noise, leading to frequent errors. To address this, we propose the GO-AEC framework, which integrates large language models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and a data augmentation strategy using LLMs and TTS. GO-AEC includes data augmentation, N-best hypothesis-based correction, and a dynamic game knowledge base. Experiments show GO-AEC reduces character error rate by 6.22% and sentence error rate by 29.71%, significantly improving ASR accuracy in gaming scenarios.

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents have demonstrated impressive success in a wide range of game genres. However, existing research primarily focuses on optimizing DRL competence rather than addressing the challenge of prolonged player interaction. In this paper, we propose a practical DRL agent system for fighting games named Shūkai, which has been successfully deployed to Naruto Mobile, a popular fighting game with over 100 million registered users. Shūkai quantifies the state to enhance generalizability, introducing Heterogeneous League Training (HELT) to achieve balanced competence, generalizability, and training efficiency. Furthermore, Shūkai implements specific rewards to align the agent's behavior with human expectations. Shūkai's ability to generalize is demonstrated by its consistent competence across all characters, even though it was trained on only 13% of them. Additionally, HELT exhibits a remarkable 22% improvement in sample efficiency. Shūkai serves as a valuable training partner for players in Naruto Mobile, enabling them to enhance their abilities and skills.
