Abstract: Machine Learning ML agents have been increasingly used in decision-making across a wide range of tasks and environments. These ML agents are typically designed to balance multiple objectives when making choices. Understanding how their decision-making processes align with or diverge from human reasoning is essential. Human agents often encounter hard choices, that is, situations where options are incommensurable; neither option is preferred, yet the agent is not indifferent between them. In such cases, human agents can identify hard choices and resolve them through deliberation. In contrast, current ML agents, due to fundamental limitations in Multi-Objective Optimisation or MOO methods, cannot identify hard choices, let alone resolve them. Neither Scalarised Optimisation nor Pareto Optimisation, the two principal MOO approaches, can capture incommensurability. This limitation generates three distinct alignment problems: the alienness of ML decision-making behaviour from a human perspective; the unreliability of preference-based alignment strategies for hard choices; and the blockage of alignment strategies pursuing multiple objectives. Evaluating two potential technical solutions, I recommend an ensemble solution that appears most promising for enabling ML agents to identify hard choices and mitigate alignment problems. However, no known technique allows ML agents to resolve hard choices through deliberation, as they cannot autonomously change their goals. This underscores the distinctiveness of human agency and urges ML researchers to reconceptualise machine autonomy and develop frameworks and methods that can better address this fundamental gap.
Expert Commentary: Understanding Decision-Making in Machine Learning Agents
Machine Learning (ML) agents have become increasingly prevalent in various decision-making tasks and environments. These agents are designed to balance multiple objectives when making choices, but it is crucial to understand how their decision-making processes align with, or differ from, human reasoning.
In the realm of decision-making, humans often encounter what are known as “hard choices” – situations where options are incommensurable, meaning there is no clear preference or indifference between options. Humans can identify these hard choices and resolve them through deliberation. However, current ML agents, due to limitations in Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) methods, struggle to identify, let alone resolve, hard choices.
Both Scalarized Optimization and Pareto Optimization, the two main MOO approaches, fail to capture the concept of incommensurability. This limitation gives rise to three significant alignment problems:
- The alienness of ML decision-making behavior from a human perspective
- The unreliability of preference-based alignment strategies for hard choices
- The blockage of alignment strategies pursuing multiple objectives
To address these alignment problems, the article discusses two potential technical solutions. However, it recommends an ensemble solution as the most promising option for enabling ML agents to identify hard choices and mitigate alignment problems. This ensemble solution combines different MOO methods to capture incommensurability and make decision-making more compatible with human reasoning.
While the ensemble solution shows promise in identifying hard choices, it is important to note that no known technique allows ML agents to autonomously change their goals or resolve hard choices through deliberation. This highlights the uniqueness of human agency and prompts ML researchers to rethink the concept of machine autonomy. It calls for the development of frameworks and methods that can bridge this fundamental gap.
The discussion in this article emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the concepts explored. It touches upon aspects of decision theory, optimization algorithms, and the philosophy of agency. Understanding and aligning ML decision-making with human reasoning requires insights from multiple fields, demonstrating the need for collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas.
In the future, further research and innovation in MOO methods, the development of novel frameworks, and an interdisciplinary approach will be crucial for bringing ML decision-making closer to human reasoning. By addressing the limitations discussed in this article, we can unlock the full potential of ML agents in various real-world applications, from healthcare to finance and beyond.

arXiv:2412.10442v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The exchange of messages has always carried with it the timeless challenge of secrecy. From whispers in shadows to the enigmatic notes written in the margins of history, humanity has long sought ways to convey thoughts that remain imperceptible to all but the chosen few. The challenge of subliminal communication has been addressed in various forms of steganography. However, the field faces a fundamental paradox: as the art of concealment advances, so too does the science of revelation, leading to an ongoing evolutionary interplay. This study seeks to extend the boundaries of what is considered a viable steganographic medium. We explore a steganographic paradigm, in which hidden information is communicated through the episodes of multiple agents interacting with an environment. Each agent, acting as an encoder, learns a policy to disguise the very existence of hidden messages within actions seemingly directed toward innocent objectives. Meanwhile, an observer, serving as a decoder, learns to associate behavioural patterns with their respective agents despite their dynamic nature, thereby unveiling the hidden messages. The interactions of agents are governed by the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and shaped by feedback from the observer. This framework encapsulates a game-theoretic dilemma, wherein agents face decisions between cooperating to create distinguishable behavioural patterns or defecting to pursue individually optimal yet potentially overlapping episodic actions. As a proof of concept, we exemplify action steganography through the game of labyrinth, a navigation task where subliminal communication is concealed within the act of steering toward a destination, and systematically validate the stego-system in terms of distortion, capacity, secrecy and robustness when subjected to simulated passive and active adversaries.
The article, titled “Advancing Steganography Through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning,” delves into the age-old challenge of secrecy in communication. From historical whispers to hidden messages, humanity has always sought ways to convey information that remains hidden from prying eyes. Steganography, the art of concealment, has been a popular method for achieving this. However, as the techniques for hiding information evolve, so does the science of revelation. This study aims to push the boundaries of steganography by exploring a new paradigm where hidden messages are communicated through the actions of multiple agents interacting with an environment. Each agent learns to disguise the existence of hidden messages within seemingly innocent objectives, while an observer learns to decode the hidden messages by identifying behavioral patterns. The interactions between agents are governed by multi-agent reinforcement learning, creating a game-theoretic dilemma where agents must decide between cooperating to create distinguishable patterns or pursuing individually optimal actions. The article provides a proof of concept through the game of labyrinth, showcasing how subliminal communication can be concealed within the act of navigation. The stego-system is systematically validated in terms of distortion, capacity, secrecy, and robustness against simulated adversaries.

Steganography in the Context of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
The concept of steganography involves hiding information within innocent-looking data to avoid detection. This has traditionally been limited to encoded messages within static images or text. However, this study introduces a new approach by leveraging the interactions of multiple agents in a dynamic environment.
In this paradigm, the agents act as encoders, manipulating their actions in a way that disguises the existence of hidden messages. These messages can be embedded within the agents’ behavioral patterns, making them imperceptible to external observers. The challenge lies in finding a balance between creating distinguishable patterns and maintaining the hidden nature of the messages.
The observer, on the other hand, plays the role of a decoder. Through observation and analysis of the agents’ actions, the observer aims to uncover the hidden messages. This decoding process is guided by feedback provided by the observer, which helps shape the agents’ behavior and refine the steganographic technique.
The Game-Theoretic Dilemma
The framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning introduces a game-theoretic dilemma for the agents. On one hand, they can cooperate with each other, creating distinguishable behavioral patterns that aid the observer in decoding the messages. On the other hand, agents can defect and pursue individually optimal actions, potentially overlapping and making it harder for the observer to associate behavioral patterns with specific agents.
This dilemma mirrors real-world scenarios where secrecy is crucial. Individuals or groups may choose to cooperate and act in a coordinated manner to deceive external observers. Alternatively, they may prioritize their individual objectives and behave in a way that overlaps with others, making it harder for observers to discern their true intentions.
Action Steganography in Labyrinth
To demonstrate the viability of this steganographic paradigm, we choose the game of labyrinth as a proof of concept. In this game, the objective is to navigate a maze-like environment and reach a destination. However, hidden messages are concealed within the agents’ steering actions, making them appear as innocent navigation choices.
We systematically evaluate the stego-system in terms of distortion, capacity, secrecy, and robustness. Distortion refers to the impact on the agents’ navigation performance due to the hidden messages. Capacity represents the amount of information that can be hidden within the actions. Secrecy assesses the ability of the observer to decode the hidden messages. Lastly, robustness measures the system’s resilience to passive and active adversaries.
Innovation in Steganography
This study presents an innovative approach to steganography by leveraging multi-agent reinforcement learning and dynamic interactions within an environment. By embedding hidden messages within agents’ actions, the traditional boundaries of steganographic mediums are extended.
This paradigm allows for covert communication in scenarios where multiple agents interact, mirroring real-world situations where secrecy is essential. The game-theoretic dilemma adds an additional layer of complexity, capturing the strategic decisions faced by agents when balancing cooperation and individual optimization.
Overall, this study contributes to advancing the field of steganography and opens up new avenues for research in dynamic and interactive steganographic techniques.
arXiv:2412.10442v2
The paper, titled “Hidden Messages in Actions: A Steganographic Paradigm with Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning,” delves into the challenging field of subliminal communication and proposes a novel approach to steganography. Steganography, the art of hiding information within seemingly innocuous data, has been a topic of interest for centuries. However, as techniques to conceal information advance, so does the science of revelation, creating a constant cat-and-mouse game between those seeking to hide messages and those trying to uncover them.
In this study, the authors introduce a steganographic paradigm that leverages the interactions of multiple agents within an environment to communicate hidden messages. Each agent acts as an encoder, learning a policy to disguise the existence of hidden messages within their actions. On the other hand, an observer serves as the decoder, learning to associate behavioral patterns with their respective agents and unveil the hidden messages.
The framework utilized in this study is based on multi-agent reinforcement learning, a field that focuses on how multiple agents can learn to interact and cooperate in complex environments. The interactions between agents are shaped by feedback from the observer, creating a game-theoretic dilemma. The agents must decide whether to cooperate and create distinguishable behavioral patterns or defect and pursue individually optimal yet potentially overlapping actions.
To demonstrate the feasibility of their steganographic paradigm, the authors apply it to the game of labyrinth, a navigation task. They show how hidden messages can be concealed within the act of steering towards a destination, providing a proof of concept for their approach. The stego-system is then systematically evaluated in terms of distortion, capacity, secrecy, and robustness when subjected to simulated passive and active adversaries.
This research opens up new possibilities in the field of steganography by utilizing multi-agent reinforcement learning to embed hidden messages within dynamic interactions. By exploring this approach, the authors have expanded the boundaries of what is considered a viable steganographic medium. The implications of this work could extend beyond the realm of games and navigation tasks, potentially finding applications in areas where covert communication is crucial, such as cybersecurity or espionage.
However, there are several challenges and considerations that need to be addressed in future research. One important aspect is the scalability of the proposed approach. The current study focuses on a specific game and a limited number of agents, but real-world scenarios may involve complex environments with numerous interacting agents. Additionally, the authors should explore the impact of different types of adversaries and their ability to detect hidden messages. Understanding the limitations and vulnerabilities of the proposed stego-system is essential for its practical application.
Overall, this research represents an exciting development in the field of steganography, showcasing the potential of multi-agent reinforcement learning for subliminal communication. As technology continues to advance, both in terms of concealment and revelation, it will be fascinating to see how this evolutionary interplay unfolds and what new methods and techniques researchers develop to address the timeless challenge of secrecy.

arXiv:2504.13211v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies have explored the use of large language models (LLMs) in psychotherapy; however, text-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) models often struggle with client resistance, which can weaken therapeutic alliance. To address this, we propose a multimodal approach that incorporates nonverbal cues, allowing the AI therapist to better align its responses with the client’s negative emotional state. Specifically, we introduce a new synthetic dataset, Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror), which is a novel synthetic dataset that pairs client statements with corresponding facial images. Using this dataset, we train baseline Vision-Language Models (VLMs) that can analyze facial cues, infer emotions, and generate empathetic responses to effectively manage resistance. They are then evaluated in terms of both the therapist’s counseling skills and the strength of the therapeutic alliance in the presence of client resistance. Our results demonstrate that Mirror significantly enhances the AI therapist’s ability to handle resistance, which outperforms existing text-based CBT approaches.
In the article “Enhancing Psychotherapy with AI: A Multimodal Approach to Addressing Client Resistance,” the authors discuss the challenges faced by text-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) models in dealing with client resistance and weakening therapeutic alliance. To overcome these issues, they propose a multimodal approach that incorporates nonverbal cues, allowing AI therapists to align their responses with the client’s negative emotional state. The authors introduce a novel synthetic dataset called Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror), which pairs client statements with corresponding facial images. Using this dataset, they train baseline Vision-Language Models (VLMs) that can analyze facial cues, infer emotions, and generate empathetic responses to effectively manage resistance. The results of their study demonstrate that Mirror significantly enhances the AI therapist’s ability to handle resistance, surpassing existing text-based CBT approaches.
An Innovative Approach to AI Therapy: Harnessing Nonverbal Cues for Increased Effectiveness
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have been employed in the field of psychotherapy, offering potential benefits to therapists and their clients. These text-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) models have shown promise; however, they often face challenges when it comes to client resistance, which can impact the therapeutic alliance and hinder progress.
To address this issue, a team of researchers has proposed a groundbreaking solution: a multimodal approach that incorporates nonverbal cues into AI therapy sessions. By leveraging these cues, the AI therapist can generate more empathetic and responsive interventions, improving the overall therapeutic experience.
The Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror) Dataset
In order to implement this multimodal approach, the researchers have created a new synthetic dataset called Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror). This dataset pairs client statements with corresponding facial images, providing a unique blend of verbal and nonverbal communication cues for the AI therapist to analyze and respond to.
During training, baseline Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are trained using the Mirror dataset. These models are designed to not only analyze the text-based client statements but also infer emotions from the accompanying facial images. By considering both modalities, the VLMs can generate responses that are more aligned with the client’s emotional state, ultimately improving the therapist’s ability to manage resistance.
Enhancing the Therapist’s Counseling Skills
Once trained, the VLMs are evaluated in terms of the therapist’s counseling skills and the strength of the therapeutic alliance in the presence of client resistance. The results obtained from these evaluations are promising, indicating that the Mirror dataset has significantly enhanced the AI therapist’s ability to handle resistance.
By incorporating nonverbal cues, the VLMs are able to pick up on subtle emotional signals that text-based models may overlook. This allows the AI therapist to respond in a more empathetic and understanding manner, effectively managing client resistance and fostering a stronger therapeutic alliance.
Outperforming Existing Text-Based CBT Approaches
The introduction of the Mirror dataset and the use of multimodal VLMs marks a significant advancement in AI therapy. Compared to traditional text-based CBT models, these innovative approaches outperform existing methods when it comes to handling resistance.
The ability to consider nonverbal cues alongside client statements has proven to be invaluable. By capturing a more comprehensive understanding of the client’s emotional state, the AI therapist can tailor its responses to match the client’s needs more effectively. This, in turn, leads to a stronger therapeutic alliance and a more positive therapy experience overall.
“Our findings showcase the potential of integrating nonverbal cues into AI therapy. With the Mirror dataset and multimodal VLMs, we have made significant progress in addressing client resistance and enhancing the therapist’s counseling skills. This paves the way for a more effective and fulfilling therapy experience for clients.” – Research Team
In conclusion, the use of nonverbal cues is crucial in the field of AI therapy. By incorporating these cues, AI therapists can bridge the gap between text-based interactions and in-person therapy sessions. The Mirror dataset and the multimodal VLMs present a novel and innovative solution, ultimately improving the therapist’s ability to manage resistance and strengthening the therapeutic alliance.
The paper “Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror): Enhancing AI Therapist’s Ability to Handle Resistance in Psychotherapy” addresses a crucial challenge in text-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) models – client resistance. While large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in psychotherapy, they often struggle to effectively engage with clients who exhibit resistance, which can negatively impact the therapeutic alliance.
To overcome this limitation, the authors propose a novel multimodal approach that incorporates nonverbal cues, enabling the AI therapist to better align its responses with the client’s negative emotional state. They introduce a synthetic dataset called Multimodal Interactive Rolling with Resistance (Mirror), which pairs client statements with corresponding facial images. This dataset allows the training of vision-language models (VLMs) that can analyze facial cues, infer emotions, and generate empathetic responses to effectively manage resistance.
The researchers evaluate the trained VLMs based on both the therapist’s counseling skills and the strength of the therapeutic alliance in the presence of client resistance. The results of their experiments demonstrate that the Mirror approach significantly enhances the AI therapist’s ability to handle resistance, surpassing the performance of existing text-based CBT approaches.
This research is a significant step forward in the field of AI-assisted psychotherapy. By incorporating nonverbal cues into the AI therapist’s decision-making process, the Mirror approach addresses a critical limitation of text-based models. Nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions, play a vital role in communication, and their inclusion allows the AI therapist to better understand and respond to the client’s emotional state. This, in turn, strengthens the therapeutic alliance and improves the overall effectiveness of the therapy.
The use of a synthetic dataset like Mirror is particularly noteworthy. Synthetic datasets offer several advantages, including the ability to control and manipulate variables, ensuring a diverse range of resistance scenarios for training the VLMs. This allows for targeted training and evaluation, which can be challenging with real-world datasets due to the subjective nature of resistance and the difficulty in capturing diverse instances of it.
Moving forward, it would be interesting to see how the Mirror approach performs in real-world clinical settings. While the synthetic dataset provides a controlled environment for training and evaluation, the dynamics and complexities of real-life therapy sessions may present additional challenges. Conducting extensive user studies and gathering feedback from therapists and clients would be crucial for assessing the practical applicability and ethical considerations of integrating the Mirror approach into clinical practice.
Furthermore, future research could explore the integration of other modalities, such as audio or physiological signals, to further enhance the AI therapist’s ability to understand and respond to client resistance. Additionally, investigating how the Mirror approach can be combined with existing text-based CBT models to create a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both modalities could be a promising avenue for future exploration.
Overall, the introduction of the Mirror approach represents a significant advancement in AI-assisted psychotherapy. By incorporating nonverbal cues and leveraging multimodal analysis, the AI therapist becomes better equipped to handle client resistance, ultimately improving the therapeutic alliance and the overall efficacy of the therapy process.

Abstract: In the previous article, we presented a quantum-inspired framework for modeling semantic representation and processing in Large Language Models (LLMs), drawing upon mathematical tools and conceptual analogies from quantum mechanics to offer a new perspective on these complex systems. In this paper, we clarify the core assumptions of this model, providing a detailed exposition of six key principles that govern semantic representation, interaction, and dynamics within LLMs. The goal is to justify that a quantum-inspired framework is a valid approach to studying semantic spaces. This framework offers valuable insights into their information processing and response generation, and we further discuss the potential of leveraging quantum computing to develop significantly more powerful and efficient LLMs based on these principles.
Unlocking the Potential of Quantum-Inspired Frameworks in Large Language Models
In the previous article, we explored a quantum-inspired framework for modeling semantic representation and processing in Large Language Models (LLMs). Building upon mathematical tools and conceptual analogies from quantum mechanics, this framework brings a fresh perspective to understanding the complexities of these systems.
This paper aims to delve deeper into the core assumptions of this model, shedding light on six key principles that govern semantic representation, interaction, and dynamics within LLMs. By providing a detailed exposition of these principles, the authors aim to establish the validity of the quantum-inspired framework as an approach to studying semantic spaces.
The Interdisciplinary Nature of Quantum-Inspired Frameworks
This quantum-inspired framework highlights the interdisciplinary nature of studying language models. By merging concepts from linguistics, computer science, and quantum mechanics, researchers are able to tackle the intricate challenges posed by LLMs.
Quantum mechanics, originally developed to explain the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level, offers powerful mathematical tools for understanding complex systems. By applying these tools to semantic representation and processing, we gain valuable insights into the information dynamics within LLMs.
Notably, this approach bridges the gap between the abstract nature of language and the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. By leveraging the principles of superposition, entanglement, and measurement, we can explore the quantum-like behavior of words and their relationships.
Insights into Information Processing and Response Generation
By adopting a quantum-inspired framework, researchers gain a better understanding of how LLMs process and generate responses. Quantum mechanics introduces the notion of superposition, allowing for the representation and manipulation of multiple states simultaneously. Within LLMs, this can be interpreted as the simultaneous consideration of multiple potential meanings and responses.
In addition, entanglement, a key principle of quantum mechanics, plays a crucial role in the relationships between words and concepts within LLMs. Just as entangled particles exhibit correlated behavior, entangled words in semantic spaces can influence each other’s meaning. This concept opens up new possibilities for enhancing language model performance by considering the interconnectedness of words.
Measurement, another fundamental principle in quantum mechanics, offers insights into the generation of responses by LLMs. Just as a particle’s properties are determined upon measurement, the selection of a response in an LLM can be seen as a measurement process. Quantum-inspired frameworks enable us to explore the probabilistic nature of response generation and analyze the selection process within LLMs.
Leveraging Quantum Computing for Enhanced LLMs
One intriguing aspect discussed in this paper is the potential of leveraging quantum computing to develop more powerful and efficient LLMs. Quantum computers, with their ability to exploit quantum phenomena and perform computations in superposition and entanglement, hold promise for revolutionizing language modeling.
Quantum-inspired frameworks open up new avenues in designing algorithms that leverage the capabilities of quantum computers. By encoding and manipulating semantic representations and processing steps using quantum algorithms, we may unlock novel approaches to language modeling tasks. Enhanced efficiency and increased computational power could lead to further advancements in natural language understanding and generation.
The Future of Quantum-Inspired Language Models
As quantum-inspired frameworks continue to be explored in the field of language modeling, the multi-disciplinary nature of this research becomes increasingly apparent. Linguists, computer scientists, and quantum physicists are collaborating to unravel the intricacies of semantic representation and processing in LLMs.
The understanding gained from this research not only enhances our knowledge of language models but also holds potential in other areas beyond natural language processing. The insights obtained from quantum-inspired frameworks may find applications in fields such as information retrieval, recommendation systems, and intelligent dialogue agents.
Overall, this paper deepens our understanding of the quantum-inspired framework for modeling semantic representation and processing in Large Language Models, highlighting its interdisciplinary nature and offering valuable insights into their information processing and response generation.
