Abstract
A method for providing adaptive game assistance during gameplay is described. The method includes providing access to play a game for a game session by a user via a game controller and accessing a profile model of the user during the game session. The profile model is a machine learning model used for predicting gaming skills from select game contexts in games. The method further includes detecting a context in the game during the game session where the profile model predicts that the user lacks a gaming skill to advance in the game and activating a haptic cue to the game controller, wherein the haptic cue is a vibration to a specific region of the game controller. The vibration to the specific region is suggestive of a type of input to be made using the game controller to advance in the game.
