Minecraft Content Classification

Microsoft Minecraft

West Lafayette, IN  

Context: Players interact with games like Minecraft not only through play but through expanding their experience via fresh content offered in in-game marketplaces. Understanding the Marketplace platform, the different categories of content, genre, and product type, can help Minecraft continue to delight players for years to come. Project Description: This year’s project will be focused on:

  1. Create tools to ingest data and assets from Minecraft Marketplace
  2. Explore and understand the data, while developing advanced models to classify content, evaluating performance, and providing improved ways to oversee and identify trends
  3. Build a business understanding of the broader ecosystem and competitive landscape, offering insights and recommendations Project Goal: I would like the students to develop an end-to-end data science skillset, building up their business understanding, while also offering the experience of exploring AI systems and creating new tools and methodologies to solve complex, real-world, problems.
