Economics
[chapter]
2017
Understanding Complex Systems
Economics is by no means an empty box. For example, it offers what is possibly the only general law of behaviour in the social sciences, namely that agents react to incentives. ...
In the 1950s, there was an active debate about the computational limits which agents faced when making decisions. ...
In other words, to place realistic bounds on the ability of people to process the information which they have, regardless of whether it is complete. ...

Strategy under Ambiguity, and a New Type of Decision Dilemma
2022
Administrative Sciences
In this exploratory study, we challenge real decision makers to make choices in strategic games involving ambiguity, and to rationalize those choices. ...
We do so by considering the influence of decision and decision-maker characteristics on the behaviors displayed while confronting these problems, with an eye on identifying vulnerabilities. ...
The results indicate that decision makers are bounded in rationality and that boundedness likely influences how decision characteristics affect behavior-with more intense ambiguity problems generating ...

Probabilistic Exposure Analysis for Chemical Risk Characterization
2009
Toxicological Sciences
Key examples of recent experience gained in assessing human exposures to chemicals in the environment, and other applications to chemical risk characterization and assessment, are presented. ...
Different types of information required to apply PEA to these different decision contexts are identified, and specific PEA methods are highlighted that are best suited to exposure assessment in these separate ...

Applying AI on the Battlefield: The Ethical Debates
[chapter]
2021
Robotics, AI, and Humanity
by a machine, as opposed to being killed by a human being; and (3) that the honor of the military profession hinges on maintaining an equality of risk between combatants, an equality that would be removed ...
AbstractBecause lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) are designed to make targeting decisions without the direct intervention of human agents (who are "out of the killing loop"), considerable debate ...
Acknowledgements The authors thank Joe Reeder and Sigurd Hovd for valuable comments to earlier drafts of the article. ...

A Decision-Theoretic Approach to Collaboration: Principal Description Methods and Efficient Heuristic Approximations
[chapter]
2010
Studies in Computational Intelligence
This chapter gives an overview of the state of the art in decision-theoretic models to describe cooperation between multiple agents in a dynamic environment. ...
To overcome this problem, we build upon the field of decision theory (DT). Decision theory describes how a decision maker, or agent, should make a decision given its preferences over alternatives. ...

If quantum probability = classical probability + bounded cognition; is this good, bad, or unnecessary?
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
This intriguing position, however, may overstate weaknesses in classical probability theory by underestimating the role of current knowledge states and may under-employ available knowledge about the limitations ...
In addition, flexibility in model specification has risks for the use of quantum probability. ...

Artificial intelligence based cognitive routing for cognitive radio networks
2015
Artificial Intelligence Review
We also survey the application of various classes of AI techniques to CRNs in general, and to the problem of routing in particular. ...
We discuss various decision making techniques and learning techniques from AI and document their current and potential applications to the problem of routing in CRNs. ...
Game theory is also differentiated from optimization theory (which caters to a single decision maker scenario) in their ability to model multi-agent decision making scenarios where the decisions of each ...

Quantum probability, intuition, and human rationality
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
I propose a possible resolution in situation theory. ...
AbstractThis comment suggests that Pothos & Busmeyer (P&B) do not provide an intuitive rational foundation for quantum probability (QP) theory to parallel standard logic and classical probability ...

The cognitive economy: The probabilistic turn in psychology and human cognition
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
AbstractAccording to the foundations of economic theory, agents have stable and coherent "global" preferences that guide their choices among alternatives. ...
We propose that this in turn will encourage them to respond to "local" preferences and goals influenced by context and memory representations. ...

Can quantum probability provide a new direction for cognitive modeling?
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Finally, we consider the implications of a QP theory approach to cognition for human rationality. ...
Note first that both CP and QP theory share the fundamental assumption that it is possible to model cognition on the basis of formal, probabilistic principles. But why consider a QP approach? ...

Cold and hot cognition: Quantum probability theory and realistic psychological modeling
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
AbstractTypically, human decision making is emotionally "hot" and does not conform to "cold" classical probability (CP) theory. ...
As quantum probability (QP) theory emphasises order, context, superimposition states, and nonlinear dynamic effects, one of its major strengths may be its power to unify formal modeling and realistic psychological ...

Cognitive architectures combine formal and heuristic approaches
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
AbstractQuantum probability (QP) theory provides an alternative account of empirical phenomena in decision making that classical probability (CP) theory cannot explain. ...
Cognitive architectures combine probabilistic mechanisms with symbolic knowledge-based representations (e.g., heuristics) to address effects that motivate QP. ...

Quantum modeling of common sense
2013
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Strong empirical evidence suggests the context- and order-dependent representation of human judgment and decision-making processes, which falls beyond the scope of classical Bayesian probability theories ...
However, considering behavior as the output of underlying neurobiological processes, a fundamental question remains unanswered: Is cognition a probabilistic process at all? ...
