Research in the field of development and technical implementation of games at Innopolis University is carried out

Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ingame development led by Canadian scientist Joseph Brown. In 2020, the laboratory published the book “The Theory of Capabilities in Game Development”: in it, researchers from Innopolis University studied how the age, gender and cultural characteristics of gamers affect the gaming experience.

“This ranking highlightsresearch institutes, universities and companies that have conducted active research in the last ten years. Only full authorship is considered in the listing. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of California at Santa Cruz and Google are compared directly with laboratories that employ only one professor and several employees, notes Joseph Brown, professor, head of the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence in Game Development at Innopolis University. “At the same time, our team, consisting of three specialists, was able to get into the top 100 for the second year in a row, also improving the result by 12 lines. It’s interesting that Facebook only came in 78th place.”

The University of California, Santa Cruz took first place. Among global corporations, Google is in the lead - 6th place, Microsoft - 47th place, Nvidia - 57th place.

The list is formed annually by a professor of computerAmerican University of Washington Mark Nelson. He counts 2,359 researchers from 763 organizations around the world. The ranking is based on the number of publications in six reputable scientific journals and participation in 11 large-scale industry conferences. "The metric shows which institutions are active in the research communities, in the sense that the organizations on the list are regularly seen at conferences and in magazines," explains professor Mark Nelson, compiler of the ranking.
