The Social Credit Assignment Problem (Extended Version)
Wenji Mao, Jonathan S. Gratch · 2003
Social credit assignment is a process of social judgment whereby one sin- gles out individuals to blame or credit for multi-agent activities. Such judgments are a key aspect of social intelligence and underlie social planning, social learning, natural lan- guage pragmatics and computational models of emotion. Based on psychological attribu- tion theory, this report presents a preliminary computational approach to forming such judgments using an agent's causal knowledge and conversation interactions.
