Evolving Agents is a novel agent architecture that enables agents to exhibit differentiated behaviors corresponding to their diverse personalities and undergo continuous personality evolution based on external information during interactive simulation.
Resumen
The paper introduces Evolving Agents, a novel agent architecture that consists of two main systems: Behavior and Personality. The Behavior system is responsible for planning and executing agent actions, while the Personality system includes modules for Emotion, Cognition, and Character Growth to enable continuous personality evolution.
The key highlights are:
The Behavior system incorporates Characteristic Plan, Goal-based Mechanism, and Specific Post-Process to reflect agent personality differences in their behaviors.
The Personality system models human personality traits using a Five Dimension Character Structure, and simulates processes of Emotion, Cognition, and Character Growth to enable continuous personality evolution.
The authors developed a sandbox simulation platform where agents can interact with the environment and each other, allowing for observation and analysis of the agents' personality differences and evolution.
Objective data analysis using Big Five personality traits and behavioral similarity metrics, as well as human evaluation experiments, were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the Evolving Agents architecture in simulating perceptible and believable personality differences and evolution.
The results demonstrate that Evolving Agents can construct agents with differentiated personalities that undergo continuous and believable evolution, with each module of the architecture contributing to this capability.
The authors also discuss how Evolving Agents can serve as an inspirational design probe to support user-centered design processes.
Estadísticas
"Evolving Agents can construct agents with perceptible and believable differentiated personality traits."
"Evolving Agents' personalities can undergo perceptible and believable evolution during interactive simulation processes."
"The personality evolution of Evolving Agents can lead to perceptible and believable changes in their behavior patterns."
Citas
"Evolving Agents can simulate the human personality evolution process. Compared to its initial state, agents' personality and behavior patterns undergo believable development after several days of simulation."
"Evolving Agents exhibit differentiated behavioral patterns based on their diverse personality, while their behavioral experiences also influence the changes in agent personalities at the same time, forming a feedback loop-like process of behavior-personality development."
