Abstract
Behavior capture is a popular experimental approach used to obtain human-like AI-controlled game characters through learning by observation and case-based reasoning. One of the challenges related to the development of behavior capture-based AI is the choice of appropriate data structure for agents’ memory. In this paper, we consider the advantages of acting graph as a memory model and discuss related techniques, successfully applied in several experimental projects, dedicated to the creation of human-like behavior.
