This paper studies collective decision making in the context of a project selection model. We derive the optimal decision architecture when marginal decision costs are present, and investigate the circumstances under which the hierarchy and polyarchy exist as optimal sequential architectures. Our analysis extends previous results on optimal committee decision-making to a sequential setting, and...

Tree-form sequential decision making (TFSDM) extends classical one-shot by modeling tree-form interactions between an agent and a potentially adversarial environment. It captures the online decision-making problems that each player faces in extensive-form game, as well Markov processes partially-observable where conditions on observed history. Over past decade, there has been considerable effor...

In this paper, we present a framework for trust-aware sequential decision-making in human-robot team wherein the human agent’s trust robotic agent is dependent on reward obtained by team. We model problem as finite-horizon Markov Decision Process with of robot state variable. develop reward-based performance metric to drive update model, allowing make recommendations. conduct human-subject expe...
