Researchers have developed a framework called Latent Maps of Performance to generate counterfactual feedback for improving human players in real-time strategy games, specifically StarCraft II. This method uses a Guided Variational Autoencoder trained on professional replays to model player improvement as algorithmic recourse within a learned representation space. The framework enables counterfactual traversal between losing and winning gameplay profiles, offering multi-step improvement trajectories grounded in expert behavior. AI
