Wishful thinking in effective decision making

Creating agents that act reasonably in uncertain environments is a primary goal of agent-based research. In this work we explore the theory that wishful thinking can be an effective strategy in uncertain and competitive decision scenarios. Specifically, we present the constraints necessary for wishful thinking to outperform Expected Utility Maximization and take instances of popular games from ...

Decision-making and strategic thinking through analogies

When faced with a complex scenario, how does understanding arise in one’s mind? How does one integrate disparate cues into a global, meaningful whole? Consider the chess game: how do humans avoid the combinatorial explosion? How are abstract ideas represented? The purpose of this paper is to propose a new computational model of human chess intuition and intelligence. We suggest that analogies a...
