Story Shaping: Teaching Agents Human-like Behavior with Stories

Published in AIIDE, 2023

Reward design for reinforcement learning agents is challenging when the method of achieving goals matters, such as adhering to commonsense or specific behavioral preferences. We introduce Story Shaping, a new technique, to help agents infer and align their actions with tacit knowledge from exemplar stories, using knowledge graphs to generate intrinsic rewards based on the similarity between the agent actions and the story world.

Neural Story Planning

Published in The AAAI-23 Workshop on Creative AI Across Modalities, 2023

We present a method for story plot generation that combines causal planning with neural language models. By using commonsense knowledge to recursively expand story plots in a backward chaining fashion, our system improves narrative coherence. Automatic evaluations show that this approach generates more coherent plotlines than several strong baselines.

Examinator v3.0: Cheating Detection in Online Take-Home Exams

Published in Proceedings of the Tenth ACM Conference on Learning@ Scale, 2023

Examinator v3.0 detects cheating in online take-home exams by comparing answers and the timestamps they were entered. A web interface enables efficient manual inspection. Use of the tool reveals that certain question types substantially enhance cheating detection, demonstrating the potential of automated algorithmic detection at scale. Examinator v3.0 has analyzed 915,831 pairs of exam submissions across three courses over two semesters at a top U.S. institution, identifying 46 instances of cheating.

Thespian: Multi-Character Text Role-Playing Game Agents

Published in Proceedings of the AIIDE Workshop on Experimental AI in Games, 2023

Text-adventure and text role-playing games pose significant challenges for reinforcement learning agents. We introduce a “thespian agent” framework that can emulate multiple characters, using a soft prompt for direction and an attention mechanism for few-shot learning. Our agent surpasses the current state-of-the-art in multi-character and few-shot learning.
