AI as Collaborative Partner: Rethinking Human-AI Teaming for the Real World
Abstract Much work in human-AI teaming today involves collaboration under fairly constrained settings. Humans supervise AI agents, who are relegated to following orders. The division of tasks is relatively superficial, with independent actions executed in parallel or with simple, linear dependencies between them. Communication is rigid and turn-based, with both parties speaking in complete, unambiguous…

ToMCAT: Theory-of-Mind for Cooperative Agents in Teams via Multiagent Diffusion Policies
We introduce ToMCAT, a framework that integrates Theory-of-Mind (ToM) reasoning with a multiagent diffusion model to generate team-aware plans conditioned on agents’ goals and inferred teammate characteristics. Experiments in a simulated domain demonstrate that agents with more ToM capabilities outperform ones without ToM and that ToMCAT’s dynamic replanning mechanism significantly improves resource efficiency while maintaining…
