Towards Agent-based Models of Rumours in Organizations: A Social Practice Theory Approach
Amir Ebrahimi Fard, Rijk Mercuur, Virginia Dignum +2
Rumour is a collective emergent phenomenon with a potential for provoking a crisis. Modelling approaches have been deployed since five decades ago; however, the focus was mostly on…
Modelling Agents Endowed with Social Practices: Static Aspects
Rijk Mercuur, Virginia Dignum, Catholijn M. Jonker
To understand societal phenomena through simulation, we need computational variants of socio-cognitive theories. Social Practice Theory has provided a unique understanding of socia…
The Potential of the Return Distribution for Exploration in RL
Thomas M. Moerland, Joost Broekens, Catholijn M. Jonker
This paper studies the potential of the return distribution for exploration in deterministic reinforcement learning (RL) environments. We study network losses and propagation mecha…
Monte Carlo Tree Search for Asymmetric Trees
Thomas M. Moerland, Joost Broekens, Aske Plaat +1
We present an extension of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) that strongly increases its efficiency for trees with asymmetry and/or loops. Asymmetric termination of search trees intro…
Volunteers in the Smart City: Comparison of Contribution Strategies on Human-Centered Measures
Stefano Bennati, Ivana Dusparic, Rhythima Shinde +1
Several smart city services rely on users contribution, e.g., data, which can be costly for the users in terms of privacy. High costs lead to reduced user participation, which unde…
Ordered Preference Elicitation Strategies for Supporting Multi-Objective Decision Making
Luisa M Zintgraf, Diederik M Roijers, Sjoerd Linders +2
In multi-objective decision planning and learning, much attention is paid to producing optimal solution sets that contain an optimal policy for every possible user preference profi…
