Predicting human decision making in psychological tasks with recurrent neural networks

1 code implementation22 Oct 2020 Baihan Lin, Djallel Bouneffouf, Guillermo Cecchi

Reinforcement Learning Models of Human Behavior: Reward Processing in Mental Disorders

no code implementations NeurIPS Workshop Neuro_AI 2019 Baihan Lin, Guillermo Cecchi, Djallel Bouneffouf, Jenna Reinen, Irina Rish

Drawing an inspiration from behavioral studies of human decision making, we propose here a general parametric framework for a reinforcement learning problem, which extends the standard Q-learning approach to incorporate a two-stream framework of reward processing with biases biologically associated with several neurological and psychiatric conditions, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), addiction, and chronic pain.

A Story of Two Streams: Reinforcement Learning Models from Human Behavior and Neuropsychiatry

1 code implementation21 Jun 2019 Baihan Lin, Guillermo Cecchi, Djallel Bouneffouf, Jenna Reinen, Irina Rish

Drawing an inspiration from behavioral studies of human decision making, we propose here a more general and flexible parametric framework for reinforcement learning that extends standard Q-learning to a two-stream model for processing positive and negative rewards, and allows to incorporate a wide range of reward-processing biases -- an important component of human decision making which can help us better understand a wide spectrum of multi-agent interactions in complex real-world socioeconomic systems, as well as various neuropsychiatric conditions associated with disruptions in normal reward processing.
