Agents that Rationalize their Decisions
Luis Miguel Botelho, Hélder Coelho · 1996
This paper presents an introduction to a theory of rationalization for autonomous agents covering three kinds of rationalization: goal-based, belief-based, and assumptionbased rationalization. We show that the COMINT model of decision making (Botelho & Coelho 1996) enables us to approach rationalization in a rather natural fashion. Namely, it presents an automatic (as opposed to deliberative and thoughtful) way of selecting the convenient sets of knowledge structures to rationalize the agent's decisions.
