Open AccessHow to gain control and influence algorithms: contesting AI to find relevant reasons
Relevancy is a prevalent term in value alignment. We either need to keep track of the relevant moral reasons, we need to embed the relevant values, or we need to learn from the relevant behaviour. What relevan...

Open AccessReasoning about responsibility in autonomous systems: challenges and opportunities
Ensuring the trustworthiness of autonomous systems and artificial intelligence is an important interdisciplinary endeavour. In this position paper, we argue that this endeavour will benefit from technical adva...

Open AccessUsing psychological characteristics of situations for social situation comprehension in support agents
Support agents that help users in their daily lives need to take into account not only the user’s characteristics, but also the social situation of the user. Existing work on including social context uses some...

Open AccessMeaningful human control: actionable properties for AI system development
How can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously? Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits - but also undesirable situati...

Comparing Mediated and Unmediated Agent-Based Negotiation in Wi-Fi Channel Assignment
Channel allocation in dense Wi-Fi networks is a complex problem due to its nonlinear and exponentially sized solution space. Negotiating over this domain is a challenge, since it is difficult to estimate oppon...

Distributed Multi-agent Negotiation for Wi-Fi Channel Assignment
Channel allocation in dense, decentralized Wi-Fi networks is a challenging due to the highly nonlinear solution space and the difficulty to estimate the opponent’s utility model. So far, only centralized or me...

Open AccessWhat values should an agent align with?
The pursuit of values drives human behavior and promotes cooperation. Existing research is focused on general values (e.g., Schwartz) that transcend contexts. However, context-specific values are necessary to ...

Enabling Negotiating Agents to Explore Very Large Outcome Spaces
This work presents BIDS (Bidding using Diversified Search), an algorithm that can be used by negotiating agents to search very large outcome spaces. BIDS provides a balance between being rapid, accurate, diverse,...

Self-sufficient, Self-directed, and Interdependent Negotiation Systems: A Roadmap Toward Autonomous Negotiation Agents
Negotiation, the process of joint decision-making, is pervasive in our society (23). Whenever actors meet and influence each other to forge a mutually beneficial agreement, a form of negotiation is at work (44).

Do Habits Fade Out? Discerning Between Two Theories Using Agent-Based Simulation
behavioural change requires a good understanding of how habits break. We identified two theories in the psychological literature on this process: the decrease theory and persist theory. Both theories are ...

Predicting the Priority of Social Situations for Personal Assistant Agents
Personal assistant agents have been developed to help people in their daily lives with tasks such as agenda management. In order to provide better support, they should not only model the user’s internal aspect...

Synthesising Reinforcement Learning Policies Through Set-Valued Inductive Rule Learning
Today’s advanced Reinforcement Learning algorithms produce black-box policies, that are often difficult to interpret and trust for a person. We introduce a policy distilling algorithm, building on the CN2 rule...

How to Recognize and Explain Bidding Strategies in Negotiation Support Systems
Effective use of negotiation support systems depends on the systems capability of explaining itself to the user. This paper introduces the notion of an explanation matrix and an aberration detection mechanism ...
