Research work on computational models for a "specific" person's behaviors Is there active research work on creating computational models of a "specific" person's behaviors (general behaviors, emotions, actions...)? What are some references for such research? I tried google and scopus and did not have much luck.

I have worked on modeling movement behaviors of pedestrians in crowd (for my PhD work), but I am planning to work on the simulation of general behaviors of individuals (based on the historical data of their actions and behaviors).

I am more inclined to use machine learning methods than detailed mathematical models.
this is a broad area now overlapping with big data and (mass) surveillance technology. here are a few refs with scientific elements/ angles/ leads/ papers/ books etc. and reference to a new field of "social physics"
