In this paper we examine the problem of building probabilistic finite-state interaction models that allow both hierarchical composition of behaviors, and their parallel engagement. Finally, we propose an extension that resolves the difficulties for a class of common cases.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment}, author={Zubek, Robert and Horswill, Ian}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={141-146} }
