Modeling and detecting overtrust from behavior signals

Research Project Outline

Based on large signal corpora, this project studies the mathematical modeling of human behaviors through mapping the behaviors onto two discrete-continuous hybrid systems, i.e., the cognition-decision process and the decision-action process. This research aims at building such a behavior model that can relate the human internal state and the observed behavior signals. Research results will be applied to and evaluated through detecting overtrust caused by misunderstandings between human and machines in real environments.
