Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model to predict human behavior that accounts for computational constraints. These constraints can impact the problem-solving abilities of both human and artificial intelligences (AI). The model can infer an “inference budget”, a computation of the possible constraints on an agent’s problem-solving methods, by observing…

Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have created a model that considers the computational constraints of an agent, which could be a human or a machine, resulting in a more accurate prediction of the agent's actions. Humans, despite having sophisticated decision-making abilities, are often irrational and tend to behave suboptimally due to computational constraints.…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can work effectively with humans requires a robust model of human behaviour. However, humans often behave irrationally, limiting their decision-making abilities. Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model for predicting an agent's behaviour (whether human or machine) by considering computational constraints that affect problem-solving, which they refer…

Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model that predicts human behavior by considering computational constraints that limit an individual's problem-solving ability. This model can be used to estimate a person's ‘inference budget’, or time available for problem-solving, based on their past actions. It can then predict their future behavior. Drawing from…

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have created a model that considers the computational constraints whilst predicting human behavior, which in turn could potentially make AI more efficient collaborators. These constraints can affect an individual or system's problem-solving abilities. The model can automatically infer these constraints by observing only a few prior actions…

MIT and University of Washington researchers have developed a model to understand and predict human behavior, which could improve the effectiveness of AI systems in collaboration with humans. Recognizing the suboptimal nature of human decision-making often due to computational constraints, the researchers created a model that factors in these constraints observed from an agent's previous…
