Near-Optimal Play in a Social Learning Game

چکیده
We provide an algorithm to compute near-optimal strategies for the Cultaptation social learning game. We show that the strategies produced by our algorithm are near-optimal, both in their expected utility and their expected reproductive success. We show how our algorithm can be used to provide insight into evolutionary conditions under which learning is best done by copying others, versus the conditions under which learning is best done by trial-and-error.

When Innovation Matters: An Analysis of Innovation in a Social Learning Game
This paper examines the value of innovation within a culture by looking at “innovate” moves in the Cultaptation Project’s social learning game (Boyd et al. 2008). We produce a mathematical model of a simplified version of this game, and produce analytic methods for determining optimal innovation behavior in this game. In particular, we provide a formula for determining when one should stop inno...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Learning Game for Autistic Children using Reinforcement Learning and Fuzzy Logic
This paper, presents an adapted serious game for rating social ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The required measurements are obtained by challenges of the proposed serious game. The proposed serious game uses reinforcement learning concepts for being adaptive. It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...

Background & Aims: One of the most important skills in preschool is social skills. In other words, social skills are concerned with empathy, self-efficacy, responsibility and social interaction, psychological adjustment, effective communication with others, and individual abilities. It is very important to learn social skills in childhood. By strengthening social skills in this period, we can s...
متن کاملApplication of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملChinese Restaurant Game - Part I: Theory of Learning with Negative Network Externality
In a social network, agents are intelligent and have the capability to make decisions to maximize their utilities. They can either make wise decisions by taking advantages of other agents’ experiences through learning, or make decisions earlier to avoid competitions from huge crowds. Both these two effects, social learning and negative network externality, play important roles in the decision p...
