Boltzmann State-Dependent Rationality

Abstract: This paper expands on existing learned models of human behavior via a measured step in structured irrationality. Specifically, by replacing the suboptimality constant $\beta$ in a Boltzmann rationality model with a function over states $\beta(s)$, we gain natural expressivity in a computationally tractable manner. This paper discusses relevant mathematical theory, sets up several experimental designs, presents limited preliminary results, and proposes future investigations.
