- Abstract summary: Intuitive psychology is the ability to reason about hidden mental variables that drive observable actions.
Despite recent interest in machine agents that reason about other agents, it is not clear if such agents learn or hold the core psychology principles that drive human reasoning.
We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.

- Abstract: For machine agents to successfully interact with humans in real-world
settings, they will need to develop an understanding of human mental life.
Intuitive psychology, the ability to reason about hidden mental variables that
drive observable actions, comes naturally to people: even pre-verbal infants
can tell agents from objects, expecting agents to act efficiently to achieve
goals given constraints. Despite recent interest in machine agents that reason
about other agents, it is not clear if such agents learn or hold the core
psychology principles that drive human reasoning. Inspired by cognitive
development studies on intuitive psychology, we present a benchmark consisting
of a large dataset of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT (Action,
Goal, Efficiency, coNstraint, uTility), structured around four scenarios (goal
preferences, action efficiency, unobserved constraints, and cost-reward
trade-offs) that probe key concepts of core intuitive psychology. We validate
AGENT with human-ratings, propose an evaluation protocol emphasizing
generalization, and compare two strong baselines built on Bayesian inverse
planning and a Theory of Mind neural network. Our results suggest that to pass
the designed tests of core intuitive psychology at human levels, a model must
acquire or have built-in representations of how agents plan, combining utility
computations and core knowledge of objects and physics.

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute beliefs, intentions, or mental states to others.
We show a developmental synergy between learning to predict low-level mental states and attributing high-level ones.
We propose that our computational approach can inform the understanding of human social cognitive development.

We argue that a fruitful direction for research is engaging large language models in behavioral experiments inspired by psychology.
We highlight theoretical perspectives, experimental paradigms, and computational analysis techniques that this approach brings to the table.
It paves the way for a "machine psychology" for generative artificial intelligence (AI) that goes beyond performance benchmarks.

Theory of Mind (TOM) is the ability to attribute to other agents' beliefs, intentions, or mental states in general.
We show the synergy between learning to predict low-level mental states, such as intentions and goals, and attributing high-level ones, such as beliefs.
We propose that our architectural approach can be relevant for the design of future adaptive social robots.

We propose a new neural ToM architecture that learns to generate a latent trait vector of an actor from the past trajectories.
This trait vector then multiplicatively modulates the prediction mechanism via a fast weights' scheme in the prediction neural network.
We empirically show that the fast weights provide a good inductive bias to model the character traits of agents and hence improves mindreading ability.

We show that it is possible to replicate human behavioral data in both individual and social task settings by modifying the precision of prior and sensory signals.
An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

We study how to design artificial agents that can interact naturally with humans using the simplification of a virtual environment.
To build agents that can robustly interact with humans, we would ideally train them while they interact with humans.
We use ideas from inverse reinforcement learning to reduce the disparities between human-human and agent-agent interactive behaviour.
