Probabilistic Models for Agent's Beliefs and Decisions

چکیده
Many applications of intelligent systems require reasoning about the mental states of agents in the domain. We may want to reason about an agent’s beliefs, including beliefs about other agents; we may also want to reason about an agent’s preferences, and how his beliefs and preferences relate to his behavior. We define a probabilistic epistemic logic (PEL) in which belief statements are given a formal semantics, and provide an algorithm for asserting and querying PEL formulas in Bayesian networks. We then show how to reason about an agent’s behavior by modeling his decision process as an influence diagram and assuming that he behaves rationally. PEL can then be used for reasoning from an agent’s observed actions to conclusions about other aspects of the domain, including unobserved domain variables and the agent’s mental states.

Multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic rough sets and their corresponding three-way decisions over two universes
This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
متن کاملReasoning about Noisy Sensors and Eeectors in the Situation Calculus
Agents interacting with an incompletely known world need to be able to reason about the eeects of their actions, and to gain further information about that world they need to use sensors of some sort. Unfortunately, both the eeects of actions and the information returned from sensors are subject to error. To cope with such uncertainties , the agent can maintain probabilistic beliefs about the s...
متن کاملRational Interactions in Multiagent Environments: Communication
We address the issue of rational communicative behavior among autonomous intelligent agents that have to make decisions as to what, to whom, and how to communicate. We treat communicative actions as aimed at increasing the eeciency of interaction among agents. We postulate that a rational speaker design a speech act so as to maximally increase the beneet obtained as the result of the interactio...
متن کاملA Decision-Theoretic Approach to Coordinating Multi-agent Interactions
We describe a decision-theoretic method that an autonomous agent can use to model multiagent situations and behave rationally based on its model. Our approach, which we call the Recursive Modeling Method, explicitly accounts for the recursive nature of multiagent reasoning. Our method lets an agent recursively model another agent's decisions based on probabilistic views of how that agent percei...
متن کاملReflexion in mathematical models of decision-making
The paper is devoted to a generalization of static and dynamic mathematical models of behavior with explicitly stated reflexive models of agents' decision-making. Reflexion is considered as agent's beliefs about nature, opponents' beliefs and opponents' decision-making principles in the framework of game theory, collective behavior theory and learning models.
