Abstract

Behavioral recognition in game is a fundamental topic in data analysis. With the emerging of deep learning-based method, more and more artificial neural networks are proposed to achieve higher accuracy and robustness. This paper presents a comparison between CNN and RNN-LSTM for player identification based on player behavioral characteristics in a simple game environment. The goal is to detect potential manual cheating in competitions by recognizing unidentified players (cheaters) from their behavioral patterns. We implement a basic game, record player behaviors, and then compare the accuracy of outputs from the CNN and RNN-LSTM models. The conclusion is summarized as follow. CNN obtains 87.5% accuracy and RNN-LSTM achieves 92.3% accuracy in the simulated data. Our results indicate that the RNN-LSTM model outperforms the CNN model in terms of accuracy, making it a more suitable choice for player identification in this contextt.
