Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our final objective is making a werewolf player agent that can play with human players. In this study, as a first step, we designed a protocol for enabling agents to have a conversation and conducted studies on agents that communicate using the protocol. We propose a psychological model that considers multiple perspectives to model the play of a human such as inferring the intention of the other side. As one of the psychological models, we constructed "self model" that models the role of others as viewed from their own viewpoint and "others model" that models the role of others as viewed from their viewpoints. Combining these models, we constructed an agent with hierarchical psychological models.
In the study of game informatics, it is important to develop an environment that collects collective intelligence. We developed a R&D infrastructure and held computer werewolf game competitions.
