Abstract

Multi-agent environments pose unique challenges for the agents that interact with them. The complex behaviors of other agents can lead to novel modes of failure. Anticipating and mitigating failures due to other agents requires reasoning about their goals and beliefs, called theory of mind (ToM) reasoning. In this paper, we outline types of multiagent scenarios that require ToM reasoning and discuss the complexity of mental models required to address them.
