Personalization is well-known to improve gamer engagement significantly. However, most developers rely on outdated, historical user data for personalization, missing out on rich insights regarding session context from real-time user-game interactions. This is largely due to a) prohibitively high cloud costs of handling and processing real-time session data on cloud and b) difficulty of deploying and maintaining real-time ML models on-device
We propose a novel approach to overcome these challenges, using our managed on-device ML platform. The platform executes data processing, inference as well as training on-device to deliver cost-efficient, real-time personalization at scale. This results in significant improvement in gamer experience and conversion, with minimal end-to-end latency and CPU and battery usage spike
Takeaway
Attendees will learn how to improve engagement in mobile gaming with real-time personalization using on-device Machine Learning (ML). The session discusses how on-device ML enables cutting-edge use-cases which delight gamers, including real-time personalized recommendations, promotions, and anti-cheat systems, while delivering significant cloud cost savings (>50%) and minimal latency (<50 ms)
Intended Audience
Leaders or practitioners in machine learning, AI, data science or software engineering who are interested in or working on personalization in mobile gaming
