Temporal Augmentations for Streamed Video Games: Additional Resources

This supplementary website is an extension of the paper “Augmentations for Robust and Efficient Imitation Learning in Streamed Video Games,” which was presented at the Conference on Games 2026. The paper explores the use of spatiotemporal augmentations inspired by common streaming artifacts to enhance the sample efficiency and robustness of imitation learning agents that are trained with limited gameplay demonstrations.

On this website, you’ll find examples of the proposed augmentations, qualitative videos showcasing trained agents in action, and visualizations that support the findings outlined in the paper. These materials aim to complement the quantitative assessments by demonstrating the streaming artifacts simulated by our approach and how they affect agent performance under normal and degraded streaming conditions.

You can compare representative rollouts under Clean, Synthetic, and Real Streaming Noise settings for different games and tasks, categorized by demonstration budget and method. Each setting is evaluated under various conditions to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of different augmentations on agent performance.

The Clean conditions represent evaluations in a streaming environment without induced lag or visual artifacts. The Synthetic conditions involve streaming augmentations that introduce visual distortions without inducing lag. Finally, the Real Streaming Noise conditions simulate streaming with induced lag, resulting in visual artifacts that our augmentations are designed to mimic.

For each setting, you can view median and best rollouts for different methods and demonstration budgets. The results offer insights into how different types of augmentations can affect agent performance across different games and tasks. Whether you’re interested in exploring the impact of streaming artifacts on imitation learning or looking to enhance your understanding of agent behavior in streamed video games, this website provides valuable insights and resources to dive deeper into this fascinating field.
