The Great Deceivers: Virtual Agents and Believable Lies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a model giving Theory of Mind (ToM) capabilities to artificial agents to allow them to carry out deceptive behaviours. It describes a model supporting an N-level Theory of Mind and reports a study to assess whether equipping agents with a two-level ToM results in them being perceived as more socially intelligent than agents with a singlelevel ToM. A deception game being developed for intercultural training of children, used for this study, is described. Finally, we report results from this study consistent with the hypothesis that a two-level Theory of Mind better supports agents in deceptive behaviour.

Believable Decision for Virtual Actors
This study lies in the context of cognitive ergonomy and virtual engineering. We propose to model and implement the behaviour of autonomous virtual agents, using ideas from psychology (fuzzy cognitive maps, affordances) and neurophysiology (active perception). We describe the basis for a behavioral model imitating human beings’ perceptive operation. The psychological notion of “affordance” will...

This study lies in the context of virtual engineering and human information systems. We propose to model and implement the behaviour of believable virtual agents, using ideas from psychology (cognitive maps, affordances) and neurophysiology (active perception, movement prediction). Virtual worlds are peopled with autonomous entities improvising in free interaction. Autonomization of a model con...

It presents a method for implicit training of autonomous agents in order to ”believably” represent humans in Virtual Institutions. The proposed method does not require any explicit tra...
متن کاملAn Oz-Centric Review of Interactive Drama and Believable Agents
Believable agents are autonomous agents that exhibit rich personalities. Interactive dramas take place in virtual worlds inhabited by believable agents with whom an audience interacts. In the course of this interaction, the audience experiences a story. This paper presents the research philosophy behind the Oz Project, a research group at CMU that has spent the last ten years studying believabl...
متن کاملWhat makes virtual agents believable?
In this paper we investigate the concept of believability and make an attempt to isolate individual characteristics (features) that contribute to making virtual characters believable. As the result of this investigation we have produced a formalisation of believability and basedon this formalisationbuilt a computational framework focused on simulation of believable virtual agents that possess t...
