For improving an AI assistant, begin by simulating the unpredictable actions of humans.

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…

To enhance the proficiency of an AI assistant, it is essential to commence by mapping out the unpredictable actions of human beings.

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…

In order to create an enhanced AI assistant, begin by mimicking the unpredictable actions of people.

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…

To enhance your AI assistant, begin by simulating the unpredictable conduct of people.

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a new way to model human behaviour by accounting for unknown computational constraints that may impact problem-solving abilities. This new model enables an agent, human or machine, to infer another agent's computational constraints from their previous actions. The resulting 'inference budget' can be used to…

To construct an improved AI assistant, initiate by emulating the unpredictable actions of humans.

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a computational model that can predict an intelligent agent's behaviors based on its "inference budget" (i.e. the limits on its computational resources). This was accomplished by using an algorithm that recorded all the decisions made by the agent within a given period of time. They…
