World representation is used as an umbrella term to encompass any method allowing the Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents to know about the world they are operating in. This includes, but is not limited to, navigation data, knowledge representation, and spatial reasoning, to name only a few. Globally, these techniques revolve around organizing the information defining a virtual world into specific data formats, designed to be easy to process for in-game AI agents. The agents then access that data and process it to accomplish the behaviors or computations needed by the game.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
