Abstract

This paper presents a learning system based on Artificial Life for the animation of virtual entities. The model uses an extension of a classifiers system to build dynamically the behavior of agents by emergence. A behavior is selected into a set of binary rules that evolves continuously to ensure the maximization of predefined goals. The reinforcement allows to reward a rule and then to evaluate its efficiency faced to a given context. We investigate the interaction between virtual agents and a human controlled clone immersed in virtual soccer. In the simulation, each entity evolves in real-time by using the ability of cooperation and communication with teammates. We evaluate the benefits of the communication inside a team and present how it can improve the learning of a group thanks to a rule-sharing and a human intervention.
