Congested observational learning
We study observational learning in environments with congestion costs: as more of one’s predecessors choose an action, the payoff from choosing that action decreases. Herds cannot occur if congestion on an action can get so large that an agent would prefer to take a different action no matter what his beliefs about the state. To the extent that “switching” away from the more popular action also...
متن کاملmirror neurons and observational learning
in past, the relationship between traditional learning theories and neurophysiological theories wasn’t a close relationship. recently, new findings in neurological sciences showed relatively simple neuron mechanisms for somewhat complicated learning events, for example observational learning, one of which is mirror neurons. these neurons show that how the brain registers the activity observed a...
متن کاملObservational Learning
Observational learning occurs when privately-informed individuals sequentially choose among finitely many actions, after seeing predecessors’ choices. We summarize the general theory of this paradigm: Belief convergence forces action convergence, specifically, copycat “herds” arise. Also, beliefs converge to a point mass on the truth exactly when the private information is not uniformly bounded...
متن کاملObservational Learning by Reinforcement Learning
Observational learning is a type of learning that occurs as a function of observing, retaining and possibly replicating or imitating the behaviour of another agent. It is a core mechanism appearing in various instances of social learning and has been found to be employed in several intelligent species, including humans. In this paper, we investigate to what extent the explicit modelling of othe...
متن کاملFeature Learning for Accurate Time Prediction in Congested Healthcare Systems
Time prediction in healthcare systems such as outpatient clinics, hospital wards, and emergency departments is an essential component of decision making. Predictions are used for effective and efficient resource allocation, optimised ambulance routing, and accurate delay announcement. In this work, we focus on time prediction in congested healthcare systems, where patients share scarce resource...
