Guess My Power: A Computational Model to Simulate a Partner's Behavior in the Context of Collaborative Negotiation

We present in this paper a computational model of collaborative negotiation capable of guessing the behavior of powered expressed by his partner. Our model is a straight continuation of our model of negotiation based on power. We present a model inspired from Theory of Mind based on simulation that allows an agent to evaluate its interlocutor’s level of power at each negotiation turn. We show on agent-agent simulation that the system correctly predicts the interlocutor’s power.
