BELIEFS: A Hierarchical Theory of Mind Model based on Strategy Inference

2025-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability to infer another agent’s latent mental states, such as intentions, beliefs, and strategies, to predict their behavior. A core feature of ToM is its recursive structure: individuals reason not only about what others think, but also about what others think about them. Existing computational models typically assume that ToM Level-0 (L0) agents rely on a fixed heuristic (e.g....
