VikingBot: Towards a Hybrid Artificial Intelligence for Starcraft

The focus of this research is to develop a StarCraft bot that makes efficient use of computing resources. To this end, VikingBot employs a hybrid approach that pairs AI Planning and Machine Learning. The AI planning component handles high-level strategy management and the Machine Learning component handles individual control units in combat. In this paper, we describe our high-level approach and report initial results. This is an interim report on a work in progress.
