Abstract
A computer-based method for analyzing the incentives and predicting the future actions of agents is described. The method includes storing, in a computer memory, data relating to previously observed behavior of at least one of an agent of interest and agents that can be assumed to hold similar utilities to the agent of interest, thereby defining an agent class, deriving with a processing device and based on the stored data, a set of unique incentives that agents in the agent class would have to hold for their observed behavior to be considered rational by an observer of the behavior, observing a short sequence of behavior of the agent of interest, inputting the observed behavior sequence to an analyzer, deriving specific goals of the agent driving that behavior instance, and predicting future actions of the agent of interest based on a maximization of reward for the agent of interest and the derived goals, the reward based on the derived incentives.
