Learning Character Behaviors Using Agent Modeling in Games

چکیده
Our goal is to provide learning mechanisms to game agents so they are capable of adapting to new behaviors based on the actions of other agents. We introduce a new on-line reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm, ALeRT-AM, that includes an agent-modeling mechanism. We implemented this algorithm in BioWare Corp.’s role-playing game, Neverwinter Nights to evaluate its effectiveness in a real game. Our experiments compare agents who use ALeRTAM with agents that use the non-agent modeling ALeRT RL algorithm and two other non-RL algorithms. We show that an ALeRT-AM agent is able to rapidly learn a winning strategy against other agents in a combat scenario and to adapt to changes in the environment.

متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Machine Learning Algorithms Applied to Modeling Player Behavior in a “First Person Shooter” Video Game
Modern video games present many challenging applications for artificial intelligence. Agents must not only appear intelligent but must also be fun to play against. In the video game genre of the first person shooter an agent must mimic all the behaviors of a human soldier in a combat situation. The standard opponent in a “first person shooter” uses a finite-state machine and a series of hand co...

متن کاملAdapting Reinforcement Learning for Computer Games: Using Group Utility Functions
Group utility functions are an extension of the common team utility function for providing multiple agents with a common reinforcement learning signal for learning cooperative behaviour. In this paper we describe what group utility functions are and suggest using them to provide non-player computer game character behaviours. As yet, reinforcement learning techniques have very rarely been used f...
