Machine-learned trust scoring for player matchmaking

Abstract

A trained machine learning model(s) is used to determine scores (e.g., trust scores) for user accounts registered with a video game service, and the scores are used to match players together in multiplayer video game settings. In an example process, a computing system may access data associated with registered user accounts, provide the data as input to the trained machine learning model(s), and the trained machine learning model(s) generates the scores as output, which relate to probabilities of players behaving, or not behaving, in accordance with a particular behavior while playing a video game in multiplayer mode. Thereafter, subsets of logged-in user accounts executing a video game can be assigned to different matches based at least in part on the scores determined for those logged-in user accounts, and the video game is executed in the assigned match for each logged-in user account.
