• Abstract: Social norms characterize collective and acceptable group conducts in human society. Furthermore, some social norms emerge from interactions of agents or humans. To achieve agent autonomy and make norm satisfaction explainable, we include emotions into the normative reasoning process, which evaluate whether to comply or violate a norm. Specifically, before selecting an action to execute, an agent observes the environment and infer the state and consequences with its internal states after norm satisfaction or violation of a social norm. Both norm satisfaction and violation provoke further emotions, and the subsequent emotions affect norm enforcement. This paper investigates how modeling emotions affect the emergence and robustness of social norms via social simulation experiments. We find that an ability in agents to consider emotional responses to the outcomes of norm satisfaction and violation (1) promote norm compliance; and (2) improve societal welfare.

  A multiagent system is a society of autonomous agents whose interactions can be regulated via social norms. We think of these reactions by an agent to the satisfactory or unsatisfactory behaviors of another agent as communications from the first agent to the second agent. We develop Nest, a framework that models social intelligence via a wider variety of communications and understanding of them than in previous work.

• Agent Alignment in Evolving Social Norms [65.45423591744434]
  We propose an evolutionary framework for agent evolution and alignment, named EvolutionaryAgent. In an environment where social norms continuously evolve, agents better adapted to the current social norms will have a higher probability of survival and proliferation. We show that EvolutionaryAgent can align progressively better with the evolving social norms while maintaining its proficiency in general tasks.

  We conduct case studies in which we perturb different types of identity-related language features (names, roles, locations, dialect, and style) in NLG system inputs. We find that motivations for adaptation include social norms, cultural differences, feature-specific information, and accommodation. In contrast, motivations for invariance include perspectives that favor prescriptivism, view adaptation as unnecessary or too difficult for NLG systems to do appropriately, and are wary of false assumptions.

• Value Engineering for Autonomous Agents [3.6130723421895947]
  Previous approaches have treated values as labels associated with some actions or states of the world, rather than as integral components of agent reasoning. We propose a new AMA paradigm grounded in moral and social psychology, where values are instilled into agents as context-dependent goals. We argue that this type of normative reasoning, where agents are endowed with an understanding of norms' moral implications, leads to value-awareness in autonomous agents.

• Socially Intelligent Genetic Agents for the Emergence of Explicit Norms [0.0]
  We address the emergence of explicit norms by developing agents who provide and reason about explanations for norm violations. These agents use a genetic algorithm to produce norms and reinforcement learning to learn the values of these norms. We find that applying explanations leads to norms that provide better cohesion and goal satisfaction for the agents.

  We focus on creating agents that act in alignment with socially beneficial norms and values in interactive narratives or text-based games. We introduce the GALAD agent that uses the social commonsense knowledge present in specially trained language models to contextually restrict its action space to only those actions that are aligned with socially beneficial values.

  Identification of the implicit causes and effects of a social context is the driving capability which can enable machines to perform commonsense reasoning. Current approaches in this realm lack the ability to perform commonsense reasoning upon facing an unseen situation. We present Conditional SEQ2SEQ-based Mixture model (COSMO), which provides us with the capabilities of dynamic and diverse content generation.
