Abstract
In one implementation, a method for inverse reinforcement learning for tailoring virtual agent behaviors to a specific user. The method includes: obtaining an initial behavior model for a virtual agent and an initial state for a virtual environment associated with the virtual agent, wherein the initial behavior model includes one or more tunable parameters; generating, based on the initial behavior model and the initial state for the virtual environment, a first set of behavioral trajectories for the virtual agent; obtaining a second set of behavioral trajectories from a source different from the initial behavior model; and generating an updated behavior model by adjusting at least one of the one or more tunable parameters of the initial behavior model as a function of the first and second sets of behavioral trajectories, wherein at least one of the first and second sets of behavioral trajectories are assigned different weights.
