Subject

Simulating populations using AI.

Objectives

een AI simulatie maken waarin je factoren kan aanpassen en dan kijken wat er met de populatie gebeurt? Analyseren hoe betrouwbaar zo'n tool is

  • Construct an AI simulation with which we can evaluate the likelihood of adverse ecological effects on populations occurring as a result of exposure to physical or chemical stressors
  • Analysing the reliability of such a simulation by comparing the results to scenarios which have happened in the past.
  • Analysing the possibilities and shortcomings of such a simulation.

Users

  • Simulating exposure-related behaviors using agent-based models embedded with needs-based artificial intelligence (2018)

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-018-0052-y/ Context: HUMANS exposure to a chemical. Because descriptions of where and how individuals spend their time are important for characterizing exposures to chemicals in consumer products and in indoor environments, and the existing method is difficult and labor-intensive, a simulation of longitudinal patterns in human behaviour was created. This is an agent-based model with a needs-based AI. Needs-based because humans make their decisions to take actions in order to fulfil needs. The paper describes how it is implemented. Meets critical need in field of exposure assessment. Only addresses a few needs, and not the complex ones.

Approach

1 Create a simulated environment where AI based on neural networks can roam.

2 Edit factors such as amount of food and maximum speed of the AI to see how this influences the AI.

3 Analyze the results of step 2, iterate and try to find interesting stuff.

4 Document everything interesting

Planning

Milestones

Understanding of state of the art

A list of features we might want to implement into our simulation

A minimal viable product: a simulation that can house AI based on neural networks

The simulation but with some of the features of the list above implemented

Having research results by watching the simulations

Having research results by changing some factors of the simulation (such as amount of food)

Documenting our results and comparing them to real life to create a conclusion

Deliverables

  • A simulated environment where AI based on neural networks can roam.
  • This wiki page, which contains our process, research and the results of our analysis.
  • A presentation
