Behavioral Clones Workshop

Machines that Model Human Behavior

Recent advances in machine learning allow for increasing fidelity in the ability of machines to replicate human behavior. 

This workshop explores machines trained to replicate human behavior. We discuss behavioral clones as

  • instruments for understanding human behavior,
  • foundations for machine behavior, and
  • tools for large-scale social simulation.

We also consider the challenge of assessing how closely these systems align with real human actions.

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, May 20, following the main conference, and will be hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. Participation in the workshop is included in the main conference admission fee; separate registration is also possible. Attendance is limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to accepted contributions.
