“People Simulations”
Richard Evans is the Senior AI Engineer for The Sims 3 at EA/Maxis, and has previously won awards for his role in developing the AI for Black & White.
In this talk, he will demo three examples of people simulations: Sims 3, Sim Philosophers (a simulation of philosophical debate), and Sim Diary (a model of text generation based on personality traits). He will focus on what these simulations have in common: a model of social understanding combined with a model of individual personality.
This lecture is free and open to the public, but visitors should purchase a parking pass from the visitor kiosk at the main entrance. They will also provide a map showing the best parking for Engineering 2.
