• Title: Toward Supporting Perceptual Complementarity in Human-AI Collaboration via Reflection on Unobservables
• Authors: Kenneth Holstein, Maria De-Arteaga, Lakshmi Tumati, Yanghuidi Cheng
• Abstract summary: We conduct an online experiment to understand whether and how explicitly communicating potentially relevant unobservables influences how people integrate model outputs and unobservables when making predictions. Our findings indicate that presenting prompts about unobservables can change how humans integrate model outputs and unobservables, but do not necessarily lead to improved performance.

• Abstract: In many real world contexts, successful human-AI collaboration requires humans to productively integrate complementary sources of information into AI-informed decisions. However, in practice human decision-makers often lack understanding of what information an AI model has access to in relation to themselves. There are few available guidelines regarding how to effectively communicate about unobservables: features that may influence the outcome, but which are unavailable to the model. In this work, we conducted an online experiment to understand whether and how explicitly communicating potentially relevant unobservables influences how people integrate model outputs and unobservables when making predictions. Our findings indicate that presenting prompts about unobservables can change how humans integrate model outputs and unobservables, but do not necessarily lead to improved performance. Furthermore, the impacts of these prompts can vary depending on decision-makers' prior domain expertise. We conclude by discussing implications for future research and design of AI-based decision support tools.

  Understanding human behavior from observed data is critical for transparency and accountability in decision-making. Consider real-world settings such as healthcare, in which modeling a decision-maker's policy is challenging. We propose a data-driven representation of decision-making behavior that inheres transparency by design, accommodates partial observability, and operates completely offline.

  We argue that artificial intelligence (AI) research would benefit from a stronger focus on insights about how decisions emerge over time. First, we introduce a highly established computational framework that assumes decisions to emerge from the noisy accumulation of evidence. Next, we discuss to what extent current approaches in multi-agent AI do or do not incorporate process data and models of decision making.

  We conducted a study of a real-world AI application via interviews with 20 end-users of Merlin, a bird-identification app. We found that people express a need for practically useful information that can improve their collaboration with the AI system. We also assessed end-users' perceptions of existing XAI approaches, finding that they prefer part-based explanations.

  We show how to develop interpretable representations of how agents make decisions. By understanding the decision-making processes underlying a set of observed trajectories, we cast the policy inference problem as the inverse to this online learning problem. We introduce a practical algorithm for retrospectively estimating such perceived effects, alongside the process through which agents update them. Through application to the analysis of UNOS organ donation acceptance decisions, we demonstrate that our approach can bring valuable insights into the factors that govern decision processes and how they change over time.

We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.
