Learning Probabilistic Responsibility Allocations for Multi-Agent Interactions
Human behavior in interactive settings is shaped not only by individual objectives but also by shared constraints with others, such as safety. Understanding how people allocate responsibility, i.e., how much one deviates from their desired policy to accommodate others, can inform the design of socially compliant and trustworthy autonomous systems. In this work, we introduce a method for learning a probabilistic responsibility allocation model that captures the multimodal uncertainty inherent in multi-agent interactions. Specifically, our approach leverages the latent space of a conditional variational autoencoder, combined with techniques from multi-agent trajectory forecasting, to learn a distribution over responsibility allocations conditioned on scene and agent context. Although ground-truth responsibility labels are unavailable, the model remains tractable by incorporating a differentiable optimization layer that maps responsibility allocations to induced controls, which are available. We evaluate our method on the INTERACTION driving dataset and demonstrate that it not only achieves strong predictive performance but also provides interpretable insights, through the lens of responsibility, into patterns of multi-agent interaction.

Learning responsibility allocations for multi-agent interactions: A differentiable optimization approach with control barrier functions
From autonomous driving to package delivery, ensuring safe yet efficient multi-agent interaction is challenging as the interaction dynamics are influenced by hard-to-model factors such as social norms and contextual cues…
Autonomous DrivingResponsibility-aware Strategic Reasoning in Probabilistic Multi-Agent Systems
Responsibility plays a key role in the development and deployment of trustworthy autonomous systems. In this paper, we focus on the problem of strategic reasoning in probabilistic multi-agent systems with responsibility-…
Measuring Responsibility in Multi-Agent Systems
We introduce a family of quantitative measures of responsibility in multi-agent planning, building upon the concepts of causal responsibility proposed by Parker et al.~[ParkerGL23]. These concepts are formalised within a…
Counterfactual Reasoning for Causal Responsibility Attribution in Probabilistic Multi-Agent Systems
Responsibility allocation -- determining the extent to which agents are accountable for outcomes -- is a fundamental challenge in the design and analysis of multi-agent systems. In this work, we model such systems as con…
The Vigilant Eating Rule: A General Approach for Probabilistic Economic Design with Constraints
We consider the problem of probabilistic allocation of objects under ordinal preferences. We devise an allocation mechanism, called the vigilant eating rule (VER), that applies to nearly arbitrary feasibility constraints…
