Procedural Content Generation via Generative Artificial Intelligence

The attempt to utilize machine learning in procedural content generation (PCG) has been made in the past. In this survey paper, we investigate how generative artificial intelligence (AI), which saw a significant increase in interest in the mid-2010s, is being used for PCG. We review applications of generative AI for the creation of various types of content, including terrains, items, and even storylines. While generative AI is effective for PCG, building high-performance models requires not only handling customized content and ensuring quality and diversity, but also securing sufficient training data. For PCG research to advance further, addressing these challenges is essential. Thus, we also give special consideration to research that explores innovative generation techniques, model architectures, and approaches suited for limited-data scenarios.

Automatic detection of single-electron regime of quantum dots and definition of virtual gates using U-Net and clustering

To realize practical quantum computers, a large number of quantum bits (qubits) will be required. Semiconductor spin qubits offer advantages such as high scalability and compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies. However, as the number of qubits increases, manual qubit tuning becomes infeasible, motivating automated tuning approaches. In this study, we use U-Net, a neural network method for object detection, to identify charge transition lines in experimental charge stability diagrams. The extracted charge transition lines are analyzed using the Hough transform to determine their positions and angles. Based on this analysis, we obtain the transformation matrix to virtual gates. Furthermore, we identify the single-electron regime by clustering the Hough transform outputs. We also show the single-electron regime within the virtual gate space. These sequential processes are performed automatically. This approach will advance automated control technologies for large-scale quantum devices.
