  • Publication number: 20260119897
    Abstract: A single policy can be trained to handle the user selection of parameters across a predetermined range for each component of an artificial intelligent agent within a domain. The agent can be trained across a number of weights within the desired range for each component. These weights determine how much of a reward portion for each component should be considered by the agent during training. Thus, an improved formulation can be realized for UVFA-like goals based on compositional reward functions parameterized by their components' weights. Additionally, a set of reward components has been determined for the domain of autonomous racing games that, when combined with the improved UVFA formulation, allows training a single racing agent that generalizes over continuous behaviors in multiple dimensions. This can be used by game designers to tune the skill and personality of a trained agent.
