Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently emerged as a core methodology for modelling and analysing complex adaptive systems. Ensuring that learning agents behave safely, robustly, and transparently is ...

Agent-based simulations (ABS) are powerful computational tools that help scientists understand complex biological systems. These simulations are an inexpensive and efficient way to quickly test ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...

"The promise of human behavioral simulation—general-purpose computational agents that replicate human behavior across domains—could enable broad applications in policymaking and social science." ...
