Depression and Sequential Decision-Making Revisited [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Background: The effect of depression on decision-making is an important but still an unsettled issue. Although most studies have reported that clinically depressed participants show worse performance, there are also studies that have shown no or even ...

Subjective optimality in finite sequential decision-making. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 Many decisions in life are sequential and constrained by a time window. Although mathematically derived optimal solutions exist, it has been reported that humans often deviate from making optimal choices.

Social Influences in Sequential Decision Making. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 People often make decisions in a social environment. The present work examines social influence on people's decisions in a sequential decision-making situation. In the first experimental study, we implemented an information cascade paradigm, illustrating

Structure learning in human sequential decision-making. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Studies of sequential decision-making in humans frequently find suboptimal performance relative to an ideal actor that has perfect knowledge of the model of how rewards and events are generated in the environment.

Possibilistic sequential decision making [PDF]
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2014 International audienceWhen the information about uncertainty cannot be quantified in a simple, probabilistic way, the topic of possibilistic decision theory is often a natural one to consider.

Casting votes of antecedents play a key role in successful sequential decision-making. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Aggregation of opinions often results in high decision-making accuracy, owing to the collective intelligence effect. Studies on group decisions have examined the optimum weights for opinion aggregation to maximise accuracy.

Using Sequential Decision Making to Improve Lung Cancer Screening Performance [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2019 Globally, lung cancer is responsible for nearly one in five cancer deaths. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated the efficacy of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) to identify early-stage disease, setting the basis for widespread ...

One-shot learning and behavioral eligibility traces in sequential decision making [PDF]
eLife, 2019 In many daily tasks, we make multiple decisions before reaching a goal. In order to learn such sequences of decisions, a mechanism to link earlier actions to later reward is necessary. Reinforcement learning (RL) theory suggests two classes of algorithms

Algorithmic recourse in sequential decision-making for long-term fairness [PDF]
Frontiers in Big DataLong-term fairness in sequential decision-making is critical yet challenging, as decisions at each time step influence future opportunities and outcomes, potentially exacerbating existing disparities over time.
