Value Learning for Value-Aligned Route Choice Modeling via Inverse Reinforcement Learning
摘要
Acquiring computational specifications of human values is key for building value-aligned and value-aware AI systems. We surveyed methods for learning ethical principles and value-aligned behaviour from human demonstrations or specifications of values. However, to our knowledge, no attempt has been proposed for learning these value specifications from demonstrations, while satisfying the possibly diverse value preferences of different agents. In this work we propose a novel value learning framework (agnostic of specific learning techniques) for (i) learning value groundings (specifications of given values) and (ii) identifying value systems (the particular value preferences of agents) from observed behavior in an application domain. We illustrate our framework in a route choice modeling scenario, using tailored inverse reinforcement learning algorithms. The results show that we can successfully learn value systems that are coherent with observed route choices. Our findings open up intriguing concerns and challenges for future research in the area.
