Abstract
- Agent-based modeling (ABM) has been widely used in numerous disciplines and practice domains, subject to many eulogies and criticisms. This article presents key advances and challenges in agent-based modeling over the last two decades and shows that understanding agents' behaviors is a major priority for various research fields. We demonstrate that artificial intelligence and data science will likely generate revolutionary impacts for science and technology towards understanding agent decisions and behaviors in complex systems. We propose an innovative approach that leverages reinforcement learning and convolutional neural networks to equip agents with the intelligence of self-learning their behavior rules directly from data. We call for further developments of ABM, especially modeling agent behaviors, in the light of data science and artificial intelligence. • This article reviews agent-based modeling's generic features. • Understanding agents' behaviors is a top priority in agent-based modeling. • Artificial intelligence and data science can empower agents to self-learn their behavioral rules on-the-fly. • An RL-CNN approach is presented showing machine learning can be used to derive agent behavioral rules.
