Abstract
In theoretical modeling, communication is often studied between simulated
agents who speak truthfully and have the same goal in mind. But what
happens if one of the agents does not have the correct information at his
disposal or intentionally supplies false information? The introduction of such
agents is expected to add a relevant dimension to communication in which
agents must anticipate what kind of agents they are dealing with and act
accordingly. For the purpose of furthering this eld, lying and lie detection
in pragmatic communication were modeled. Agents used RSA (Rational
Speech Act) to communicate, and a set of beliefs and a coherence network
to detect lies. Modeled agents who were less opinionated were less likely to
detect a lie, but this e ect largely disappeared when modeled agents made
assumptions to ll in empty beliefs.
