“…We first assume that the NPCs differ in importance from one another. That is, some NPCs are more important than others to the storyline of the game, and therefore warrant the allocation of more resources in building their autobiographical memory stores (for a discussion of NPC importance, see Bailey et al 2012).…”

We present a multi-layer hierarchical connectionist network model for simulating human autobiographical memory in believable agents. Grounded in psychological theory, this model improves on previous attempts to model agents’ event knowledge by providing a more dynamic and non-deterministic representation of autobiographical memories. From this model, a Java-based proof-of-concept prototype system was created for use as an enabling technology in video games. This prototype was leveraged in the creation of a Minecraft modification (mod) implementation of the model that is able to demonstrate context-dependent recall and the effects of recency on memory recall. Wider implications of the model in agent and game design are discussed.

Abstract. This paper presents the findings of an empirical study that explores player game experience by implementing the ERiSA Framework in games. A study with Action Role-Playing Game (RPG) was designed to evaluate player interactions with game companions, who were imbued with social and emotional skill by the ERiSA Framework. Players had to complete a quest in the Skyrim game, in which players had to use social and emotional skills to obtain a sword. The results clearly show that game companions who are capable of perceiving and exhibit emotions, are perceived to have personality and can forge relationships with the players, enhancing the player experience during the game.

“…We do not address the issue of liability (including the well-researched sampling case law, such as the Pelham 3 case), management and mechanisms of automated takedown notices, nor the precision of copyright bots, as this has already been done by others -examples of anecdotal 4 as well as serious 5 1 Bot, "a computer program that works automatically, especially one that searches for and finds information on the internet" (Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus.

In the first part of the study, we summarize the existing types of copyright bots. In the second part, we present the current state of legal research on the implementation of copyright bots and our own analysis which focuses on the Czech Supreme Court’s decision concerning copyright bots. The core of this paper concerns the impact of copyright bots on the work of sampling musicians and how the creativity of musicians is shaped by their struggle to avoid detection of sampled music by bots in the online environment.
