Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have devised a model to predict the behaviour of AI systems and humans. The model factors in the indefinite computational constraints which may hinder an agent's problem-solving skills. By analysing only a few instances of previous actions, the model can predict an agent's future behaviour. The findings…

To build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can work effectively with humans, it's critical to have an accurate model of human behavior. However, humans often act less optimally when making decisions, and these irrational behaviors are challenging to imitate. This is due to computational constraints - a person cannot dedicate decades to finding an…

Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have developed a computational model to predict human behavior while taking into account the suboptimal decisions humans often make due to computational constraints. The researchers believe such a model could help AI systems anticipate and counterbalance human-derived errors, enhancing the efficacy of AI-human collaboration. Suboptimal decision-making is characteristic…

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have successfully developed a model that can infer an agent's computational constraints from observing a few samples of their past actions. The findings could potentially enhance the ability of AI systems to collaborate more effectively with humans. The scientists found that human decision-making often deviates from optimal,…

MIT and University of Washington researchers have created a method to model both human and machine behaviours, taking into account unknown computational constraints which can limited problem-solving skills. The model infers an "inference budget" from previous actions. The inference budget can then predict the agent's future behaviour. Their technique can be used to predict navigation…
