Inferring Implicit Goals Across Differing Task Models

2025-01-29 · Silvia Tulli, Stylianos Loukas Vasileiou, Mohamed Chetouani, Sarath Sreedharan

One of the significant challenges to generating value-aligned behavior is to not only account for the specified user objectives but also any implicit or unspecified user requirements. The existence of such implicit requirements could be particularly common in settings where the user's understanding of the task model may differ from the agent's estimate of the model. Under this scenario, the user may incorrectly expect some agent behavior to be inevitable or guaranteed. This paper addresses such expectation mismatch in the presence of differing models by capturing the possibility of unspecified user subgoal in the context of a task captured as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and querying for it as required. Our method identifies bottleneck states and uses them as candidates for potential implicit subgoals. We then introduce a querying strategy that will generate the minimal number of queries required to identify a policy guaranteed to achieve the underlying goal. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in inferring and achieving unstated goals across various tasks.

Theory of Mind Using Active Inference: A Framework for Multi-Agent Cooperation

2025-08-01 · Riddhi J. Pitliya, Ozan Çatal, Toon Van de Maele, Corrado Pezzato 외 arxiv

Theory of Mind (ToM) -- the ability to understand that others can have differing knowledge and goals -- enables agents to reason about others' beliefs while planning their own actions. We present a novel approach to mult…

Online Bayesian Goal Inference for Boundedly-Rational Planning Agents

People routinely infer the goals of others by observing their actions over time. Remarkably, we can do so even when those actions lead to failure, enabling us to assist others when we detect that they might not achieve t…

Optimal Strategies for the Decumulation of Retirement Savings under Differing Appetites for Liquidity and Investment Risks

2023-12-22 · Benjamin Avanzi, Lewis de Felice

A retiree's appetite for risk is a common input into the lifetime utility models that are traditionally used to find optimal strategies for the decumulation of retirement savings. In this work, we consider a retiree with…
