Inferring learners' knowledge from observed actions
Teachers gain significant information about their students through close observation of classroom activities. By noting which actions a student takes to achieve particular goals, a teacher can often infer the knowledge possessed by the student and diagnose misconceptions. In this work, we develop a framework for automatically inferring a student’s underlying beliefs from a set of observed actio...
متن کاملInferring beliefs from actions
This paper considers single-agent decision making under uncertainty and addresses the question to which degree the private information of an agent is revealed through his optimal action. We show that the agents optimal action reveals his posterior distribution for all but a negligible subset (formally, a meager subset) of the space of continuous utility functions if and only if the set of actio...
متن کاملInferring a Tree from Walks
A walk in an undirected edge-colored graph G is a path containing all edges of G. The tree inference from a walk is, given a string x of colors, finding the smallest tree that realizes a walk whose sequence of edge-colors coincides with x. We prove that the problem is solvable in O(n) time, where n is the length of a given string, We furthermore consider the problem of inferring a tree from a f...
متن کاملInferring Utilities from Negotiation Actions
In this paper we propose to model a negotiator’s decision-making behavior, expressed as preferences between an offer/counter-offer gamble and a certain offer, by learning from implicit choices that can be inferred from observed negotiation actions. The agent’s actions in a negotiation sequence provide information about his preferences and risk-taking behavior. We show how offers and counter-off...
متن کاملInferring Repeated-Game Strategies From Actions: Evidence From Trust Game Experiments
Combining a strategy model, an inference procedure and a new experimental design, we map sequences of observed actions in repeated games to unobserved strategies that reflect decision-makers’ plans. We demonstrate the method by studying two institutional settings with distinct theoretical predictions. We find that almost all strategies inferred are best responses to one of the inferred strategi...
