Researchers say the new computational model can “simulate and predict” human behavior in any domain, something they claim will help fast-track new scientific discoveries.
A team of researchers from several of the world’s leading universities say they have created a new computational model that can predict and simulate human behavior with a high degree of accuracy.
The researchers claim that the new model can “simulate and predict human behavior in any domain,” which could help speed up experimentation for scientific discovery, model building, and experimental piloting.
According to an Oct. 28 research paper, the researchers’ model, dubbed Centaur, was trained on a data set called Psych101 — a database that captures an “unprecedented scale” of information concerning human behavior.
