Computer modeling

MIT and the University of Washington researchers have developed a model to understand and predict human behavior by considering computational constraints that limit decision-making abilities for both humans and machines. One of the defining points about the model is its ability to derive an agent's computational constraints or "inference budget" based on a few previous…

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…

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model that predicts the behavior of an agent (either human or machine) by accounting for unknown computational constraints that might hamper problem-solving abilities. This model, described as an agent's "inference budget", can infer these constraints from just a few prior actions and subsequently predict…

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model to estimate the computational limitations or "inference budget" of an individual or AI agent, with the ultimate objective of enhancing the collaboration between humans and AI. The project, spearheaded by graduate student Athul Paul Jacob, proposes that this model can greatly improve the…

Researchers at MIT and University of Washington have crafted a model for understanding the behavior of humans and machines in decision-making scenarios, even when this behavior is suboptimal due to computational constraints. The model is based on an agent's “inference budget”, predictive of future behavior derived from observations of previous actions. This model could potentially…

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model that can predict an agent's potential computational limitations, and therefore their decision-making process, simply by observing past behaviour. Referred to as an "inference budget," this could enable AI systems to better predict human behaviour. The research paper demonstrates this modelling method within the…
