However, the complexity of the objective specification mechanism is just one of many reasons why the user may have misspecified their objective. A foundational cause for misspecification that is being overlooked by the previous works is the inherent asymmetry in human expectations about the agent's behavior and the behavior generated by the agent for the specified objective. To address this, we propose a novel formulation for the objective misspecification problem that builds on the human-aware planning literature, which was originally introduced to support explanation and explicable behavioral generation. Additionally, we propose a first-of-its-kind interactive algorithm that is capable of using information generated under incorrect beliefs about the agent to determine the true underlying goal of the user. born digital masters theses English eng Colorado State University.
