A Transdiagnostic Space of Disorder Like Phenotypes in Reinforcement Learning Agents
Reported by arXiv cs.LG: A Transdiagnostic Space of Disorder Like Phenotypes in Reinforcement Learning Agents. Analysis and context written by TickrWire.
arXiv:2607.07753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modelling psychological disorders in artificial agents offers both a testbed for computational psychiatry and a lens on the failure modes of affective control. Prior work induces one or two disorders in a reinforcement learning (RL) agent by hand-tuned reward shaping, labels the behaviour post hoc, and reports single runs. We recast disorder modelling as dose-controllable manipulation of cognitive appraisal signals in an appraisal-guided PPO agent, expressing seven disorders (anxiety, mania, obsessive-compulsive checking, depression, impulsivity
