Speaker: Angela Fabregues, The Artificial Intelligence

Time: 1pm
Place: Ross 201

Abstract:

In this talk we will encourage the attendees to do research on
repeated negotiation encounter scenarios involving people. For that
purpose, we introduce the DipGame Testbed. It is a tool based on the
Diplomacy Game that provides an ideal environment to test negotiation
and argumentation models and also to gather data about human
negotiation strategies. A draft of an architecture suitable for
building agents capable to negotiate on joint action plans will also
be presented.
