Interpretable AI models reveal human decision-making patterns in games

Researchers have explored interpretable machine learning models to understand human decision-making in games, specifically focusing on deviations from predicted independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) play. By analyzing over 84,000 decisions from a zero-sum card game, the study compared black-box sequence models like LSTMs against transparent alternatives. The findings indicate that predictable behaviors such as repeating or avoiding past actions, particularly concerning players' management of their own recent histories, account for the majority of the strategically relevant signal, with frequency tracking adding minimal predictive value.

IMPACT Provides insights into human behavior modeling, potentially improving AI's ability to predict and interact with human decision-making.

    Beyond the Black Box: Interpretable Models of Human Randomisation Failures

    arXiv:2608.07220v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed strategy equilibrium predicts i.i.d play: past actions should not help predict future decisions. Human players, however, systematically depart from this benchmark, and in O'Neill's zero sum card game, these departures can be p…
