Analysis Code for Bachelor Thesis: Using Reinforcement Learning to Determine When to Provide Human Support in Quitting Smoking with a Virtual Coach

This repository contains the analysis code for the bachelor thesis titled "Quitting Smoking with a Virtual Coach: Using Reinforcement Learning to Decide When to Provide Human Support" by Shirley Li. This study investigated the use of reinforcement learning to determine when to provide human support in quitting smoking with a virtual coach. The data that is used for this research was collected by a study that is explained in OSF: https://osf.io/78cnr. The data will also be published and linked to the OSF form.<br>The implementation of the virtual coach can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11102861

本仓库收录了Shirley Li所撰写的学士学位论文《借助虚拟教练戒烟：运用强化学习（Reinforcement Learning）决策人工支持提供时机》的分析代码。本研究围绕借助虚拟教练开展戒烟干预的场景，探索了运用强化学习确定人工支持提供时机的方法。本研究使用的数据由一项已在开放科学框架（Open Science Framework，OSF）平台公开说明的研究采集所得，相关研究详情可访问链接：https://osf.io/78cnr。该数据集亦将公开发布并关联至该OSF平台页面。虚拟教练的实现代码可通过以下链接获取：https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11102861
