Mental Representations and Computational Modeling of Context-Specific Human Norm Systems

Vasanth Sarathy and Matthias Scheutz and Joseph Austerweil and Yoed Kenett and Mowafak Allaham and Bertram Malle

We describe initial experiments on human norm representations in which the context specificity of norms features prominently. We then provide a formal representation of norms and a machine learning algorithm to learn norms under uncertainty from these human data, while preserving their context specificity.
