Abstract
To prevent or alleviate conflicts in multi-agent environ-
ments, it is important to distinguish between situations where
another agent has misbehaved intentionally and situations
where the misbehavior was accidental. One situation where
this problem arises is the Noisy Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma,
a version of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) in which
there is a nonzero probability that a "cooperate" action will
accidentally be changed into a "defect" action and vice versa.
