CIPOMDPs

매 한 줄

"매 Cooperative Inverse Partially Observable MDP — 매 human + agent 의 shared reward, 매 reward function 의 hidden parameter." 매 Hadfield-Menell et al. (CIRL 2016) 의 POMDP extension — 매 assistance games, alignment formalization 의 backbone — 매 2026 에 LLM agent assistance 의 theoretical frame.

매 핵심

매 정의

• State s ∈ S, Actions (a^H, a^R) for human + robot.
• Reward parameter θ ∈ Θ — 매 human 의 known, robot 의 unknown.
• Reward r(s, a^H, a^R; θ) — 매 shared.
• Observations o^H, o^R — 매 partial.
• Goal: maximize E[Σ r(s, a^H, a^R; θ)] — 매 robot 의 θ 의 inference + acting.

매 properties

• Active learning: 매 robot 의 information-gathering actions.
• Off-switch problem: 매 robot 의 uncertainty 의 corrigibility 의 induce.
• Reward hacking immunity (in theory): 매 θ unknown → 매 proxy 의 over-optimize 의 X.

매 응용

1. Assistance games (cleaning, cooking robot).
2. RLHF formalization — 매 preference 의 reward 의 evidence.
3. Multi-agent communication (CIPOMDPs with messages).

💻 패턴

CIPOMDP belief update

import numpy as np

def update_theta_belief(b_theta, s, a_H, theta_grid, beta=1.0):
    # Boltzmann human: P(a_H | s, theta) ∝ exp(beta * Q*(s, a_H; theta))
    likelihoods = np.array([
        np.exp(beta * Q_star(s, a_H, theta)) /
        sum(np.exp(beta * Q_star(s, a, theta)) for a in actions_H)
        for theta in theta_grid
    ])
    posterior = b_theta * likelihoods
    return posterior / posterior.sum()

Robot policy (expected utility over θ)

def robot_action(s, b_theta, theta_grid, gamma=0.95):
    # Pick a^R maximizing expected return under belief
    best_a, best_eu = None, -np.inf
    for a_R in actions_R:
        eu = sum(
            b * V_pi(s, a_R, theta, gamma)
            for b, theta in zip(b_theta, theta_grid)
        )
        if eu > best_eu:
            best_a, best_eu = a_R, eu
    return best_a

Off-switch game

def off_switch_decision(b_theta, theta_grid, action_value, switch_off_value=0):
    # Robot defers to human if uncertain about reward
    expected_action_value = sum(
        b * action_value(theta) for b, theta in zip(b_theta, theta_grid)
    )
    # If human can correct, deferring dominates when uncertain
    if expected_action_value < switch_off_value + uncertainty_bonus(b_theta):
        return "wait_for_human"
    return "act"

Active query (info gain)

def best_query(b_theta, theta_grid, candidate_queries):
    def expected_info_gain(q):
        H_prior = entropy(b_theta)
        H_post = sum(
            P_response(r, q, theta) * b *
            entropy(update_theta_belief_query(b_theta, q, r, theta_grid))
            for theta, b in zip(theta_grid, b_theta)
            for r in possible_responses
        )
        return H_prior - H_post
    return max(candidate_queries, key=expected_info_gain)

Boltzmann human model

def boltzmann_human(s, theta, beta=1.0):
    qs = np.array([Q_star(s, a, theta) for a in actions_H])
    probs = np.exp(beta * qs - np.max(beta * qs))
    return probs / probs.sum()

매 결정 기준

상황	Approach
Small θ space	Exact belief update + value iteration
Large θ	Particle filter + POMCP/POMCPOW
Continuous θ	Variational + amortized inference
Real human	Boltzmann + irrationality terms (myopia, bias)
Communication	CIPOMDPs with message channel

기본값: 매 particle filter belief + MCTS robot policy.

❌ 안티패턴

• Maximize-best-guess θ: 매 expected utility 의 over Θ — not max-likelihood θ.
• Rational human assumption: 매 noisy/biased — 매 Boltzmann + bias models.
• Static θ: 매 preferences drift — 매 non-stationary θ 의 model.
• Ignoring corrigibility: 매 θ certainty 의 prematurity 의 dangerous.
