论文摘要
心理理论通常被定义为将心理状态（例如信仰，目标）归因于自己和他人的能力。从社会科学到人工智能的大量作品都观察到，心理理论能力对于向另一个代理商提供解释或解释该代理人的行为是至关重要的。在本文中，我们通过根据代理人的信念以及代理商在可能的解释中修改其信念的机制来对以前的工作进行建立和扩展。我们进一步确定了利用心理理论的解释的一组Desiderata。这些Desiderata为我们基于信念的解释提供了信息。
Theory of Mind is commonly defined as the ability to attribute mental states (e.g., beliefs, goals) to oneself, and to others. A large body of previous work - from the social sciences to artificial intelligence - has observed that Theory of Mind capabilities are central to providing an explanation to another agent or when explaining that agent's behaviour. In this paper, we build and expand upon previous work by providing an account of explanation in terms of the beliefs of agents and the mechanism by which agents revise their beliefs given possible explanations. We further identify a set of desiderata for explanations that utilize Theory of Mind. These desiderata inform our belief-based account of explanation.
