  • 基于分层强化学习策略,通过任务选择生成实时解释,支持文本与语音两种形式。
  • 语音解释显著降低人类对代理的信任联结,而文本无此效应,表明模态与策略能力需匹配。
  • 首次在真实协作场景中对比解释模态效果,为可解释智能体评估提供基准方法。

可解释人工智能(XAI)在人机协作中展现出潜力,但现有研究依赖于手工设计策略和定制环境,难以推广至前沿协同研究。本文首次系统评估了在成熟基准环境Overcooked-AI中,基于分层临时代理(HA²)架构所生成的内在可解释学习策略所提供的XAI支持。通过一种新颖的触发机制,实时从分层子任务选择中生成文本或音频解释。在一项涉及38名参与者的事先实验中,解释未显著影响任务表现,但有使用解释的参与者表现出更快的表现提升趋势。更值得注意的是,音频解释显著降低了用户与代理之间的合作纽带,而文本解释无此效应,提示语音解释激活了代理应满足的合作预期,而底层反应式策略无法持续维持该预期。本研究首次在实时人机协作中进行了解释模态对比,建立了评估内在可解释强化学习架构的基准方法。结果表明,解释模态应与策略维持合作关系的能力相匹配,这可能是实现更有效协作式XAI的关键路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Explainable AI (XAI) has shown promise for human-agent collaboration, yet results rely on hand-crafted policies in custom environments, limiting generalizability to state-of-the-art teaming research. We provide the first systematic evaluation of XAI support generated from an intrinsically explainable learned policy in an established benchmark. Using the Hierarchical Ad Hoc Agents (HA$^2$) architecture in Overcooked-AI, we generate real-time explanations from hierarchical subtask selections, delivered through text or audio via a novel trigger-based system. Our between-subjects experiment (n=38) found no significant performance effects, though participants with explanations showed trends toward faster performance improvement. More notably, audio explanations produced a significant reduction in participants' working-alliance bond with the agent -- an effect absent under the text modality -- suggesting that spoken explanations activate partnership expectations the underlying reactive policy cannot meet. We provide the first modality comparison in real-time human-agent collaboration and establish a baseline methodology for evaluating intrinsically explainable reinforcement learning architectures in benchmark environments. Results point to matching explanation modality to the underlying policy's capacity of sustaining the partnership its delivery implies as a potential path for more effective collaborative XAI.
