Raz Lin, Sarit Kraus, Noa Agmon, Samuel Barrett, and Peter Stone. Comparing Agents: Success against People in Security Domains. In Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, August 2011.
The interaction of people with autonomous agents has become increasingly prevalent. Some of these settings include security domains, where people can be characterized as uncooperative, hostile, manipulative, and tending to take advantage of the situation for their own needs. This makes it challenging to design proficient agents to interact with people in such environments. Evaluating the success of the agents automatically before evaluating them with people or deploying them could alleviate this challenge and result in better designed agents. In this paper we show how Peer Designed Agents (PDAs) - computer agents developed by human subjects - can be used as a method for evaluating autonomous agents in security domains. Such evaluation can reduce the effort and costs involved in evaluating autonomous agents interacting with people to validate their efficacy. Our experiments included more than 70 human subjects and 40 PDAs developed by students. The study provides empirical support that PDAs can be used to compare the proficiency of autonomous agents when matched with people in security domains.

The interaction of people with autonomous agents has become increasingly
prevalent. Some of these settings include security domains, where people can
be characterized as uncooperative, hostile, manipulative, and tending to take
advantage of the situation for their own needs. This makes it challenging to
design proficient agents to interact with people in such environments.
Evaluating the success of the agents automatically before evaluating them
with people or deploying them could alleviate this challenge and result in
better designed agents. In this paper we show how Peer Designed Agents (PDAs)
- computer agents developed by human subjects - can be used as a method for
evaluating autonomous agents in security domains. Such evaluation can reduce
the effort and costs involved in evaluating autonomous agents interacting
with people to validate their efficacy. Our experiments included more than 70
human subjects and 40 PDAs developed by students. The study provides
empirical support that PDAs can be used to compare the proficiency of
autonomous agents when matched with people in security domains.
