Nonuniform bribery
We study the concept of bribery in the situation where voters are willing to change their votes as we ask them, but where their prices depend on the nature of the change we reques...

Reinforcement learning for DEC-MDPs with changing action sets and partially ordered dependencies
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...

Resource constrained distributed constraint optimization using resource constraint free pseudo-tree
The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is a fundamental formalism for multi-agent cooperation. A dedicated framework called Resource Constrained DCOP (RCDCOP) has ...

Robust and efficient plan recognition for dynamic multi-agent teams
This paper addresses the problem of plan recognition for multiagent teams. Complex multi-agent tasks typically require dynamic teams where the team membership changes over time. T...

Dancing the night away: controlling a virtual karaoke dancer by multimodal expressive cues
In this article, we propose an approach of nonverbal interaction with virtual agents to control agents' behavioral expressivity by extracting and combining acoustic and gestu...

On the usefulness of opponent modeling: the Kuhn Poker case study
The application of reinforcement learning algorithms to Partially Observable Stochastic Games (POSG) is challenging since each agent does not have access to the whole state inform...

Non-linear dynamics in multiagent reinforcement learning algorithms
Several multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have been proposed to optimize agents' decisions. Only a subset of these MARL algorithms both do not require agent...

The intermediary agent's brain: supporting learning to collaborate at the inter-personal level
We discuss the design of the Intermediary Agent's brain, the control module of an embodied conversational virtual peer in a simulation game aimed at providing learning experi...
