ABSTRACT In some video games, humans and computer programs can play together, each one controlling a virtual humanoid. These computer programs usually aim at replacing missing human players; however, they partially miss their goal, as they can be easily spotted by players as being artificial. Our objective is to find a method to create programs whose behaviors cannot be told apart from players when observed playing the game. We call this kind of behavior a believable behavior. To achieve this goal, we choose models using Markov chains to generate the behaviors by imitation. Such models use probability distributions to find which decision to choose depending on the perceptions of the virtual humanoid. Then, actions are chosen depending on the perceptions and the decision. We propose a new model, called Chameleon, to enhance expressiveness and the associated imitation learning algorithm. We first organize the sensors and motors by semantic refinement and add a focus mechanism in order to improve the believability. Then, we integrate an algorithm to learn the topology of the environment that tries to best represent the use of the environment by the players. Finally, we propose an algorithm to learn parameters of the decision model. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
