孩子与机器人可通过间接互惠实现合作,算法能学习儿童的互动策略。

Cooperation Through Indirect Reciprocity in Child-Robot Interactions

  • 用实验室实验与模型结合,研究儿童与机器人如何通过声誉机制合作。
  • 多臂老虎机算法能从儿童行为中学习到有效合作策略。
  • 合作效果高度依赖人类策略,适合研究人机协作机制的学者参考。

社交互动越来越多地涉及人工代理,如对话或协作机器人。理解这些情境下的信任与亲社会行为对提升人机协作至关重要。生物学与社会科学的研究已识别出维持人类合作的机制,其中间接互惠(IR)尤为关键:帮助他人可提升自身声誉,促使他人未来回馈。将IR应用于人机交互面临挑战,因人类群体在人口统计、道德判断及代理学习动态上的差异会影响互动评估。为研究人机群体中的间接互惠,我们结合实验室实验与理论建模,探究三个问题:1)间接互惠能否延伸至儿童-机器人互动;2)人工代理是否能根据儿童策略学会合作;3)不同学习算法如何影响人机合作。结果表明,间接互惠可适用于儿童与机器人解决协调困境。此外,儿童揭示的策略足以让多臂老虎机算法学会合作行为。在实验场景之外,基于多臂老虎机算法的合作效果高度依赖于人类提供的策略信号。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Social interactions increasingly involve artificial agents, such as conversational or collaborative bots. Understanding trust and prosociality in these settings is fundamental to improve human-AI teamwork. Research in biology and social sciences has identified mechanisms to sustain cooperation among humans. Indirect reciprocity (IR) is one of them. With IR, helping someone can enhance an individual's reputation, nudging others to reciprocate in the future. Transposing IR to human-AI interactions is however challenging, as differences in human demographics, moral judgements, and agents' learning dynamics can affect how interactions are assessed. To study IR in human-AI groups, we combine laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling. We investigate whether 1) indirect reciprocity can be transposed to children-robot interactions; 2) artificial agents can learn to cooperate given children's strategies; and 3) how differences in learning algorithms impact human-AI cooperation. We find that IR extends to children and robots solving coordination dilemmas. Furthermore, we observe that the strategies revealed by children provide a sufficient signal for multi-armed bandit algorithms to learn cooperative actions. Beyond the experimental scenarios, we observe that cooperating through multi-armed bandit algorithms is highly dependent on the strategies revealed by humans.
