Abstract
In this paper, we propose a representation of excuses in the context of multiagent systems. We distinguish five classes of excuses, taking as starting point both jurisprudential and philosophical studies about this topic, and we discuss their acceptance criteria. We highlight the following classes of excuses: epistemic excuses, power-based excuses, norm-based excuses, counts as-based excuses and social-based excuses and we represent them using social dependence networks. The acceptance criteria individuate those excuses which success in maintaining the trust of the other agents, e.g. in the context of social networks, excuses based on norms seem better than counts as-based ones in achieving this aim.

Plan Explanations as Model Reconciliation: Moving Beyond Explanation as Soliloquy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how explanation can be seen as a "model reconciliation problem" (MRP), where the AI system in effect suggests changes to the human's model, so as to make its plan be optimal with respect to that changed human model.

Foundations of Human-Aware Planning -- A Tale of Three Models

TL;DR: This research explores how the AI agent can leverage the human task model to generate symbiotic behavior and how the introduction of the human mental model in the deliberative process of theAI agent allows it to generate explanations for a plan or resort to explicable plans when explanations are not desired.

Explanation Generation as Model Reconciliation in Multi-Model Planning.

TL;DR: It is shown how explanation can be seen as a "model reconciliation problem" (MRP), where the AI system in effect suggests changes to the human's model, so as to make its plan be optimal with respect to that changed human model.

The Evolution of Cooperation

TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

Interpersonal forgiving in close relationships

TL;DR: Evidence is found consistent with the hypotheses that the relationship between receiving an apology from and forgiving one's offender is a function of increased empathy for the offender and that forgiving is uniquely related to conciliatory behavior and avoidance behavior toward the offending partner.

A plea for excuses

TL;DR: The subject of this paper, Excuses, is one not to be treated, but only to be introduced, within such limits as discussed by the authors, and it has long afforded me what philosophy is so often thought, and made, barren of, the fun of discovery, the pleasures of co-operation and the satisfaction of reaching agreement.

Multi-agent dependence by dependence graphs

TL;DR: This paper presents an abstract structure called dependence graph, an extension of the notion of dependence network, as proposed in [16], and analyzes several properties of this structure, relating them to some corresponding social phenomena regarding group formation and cohesiveness.
