 when designing such agents, focussing on two main processes: reasoning about the intent and decision making of other agents based on historical and contextual data, and incorporating such reasoning to plan robust, efficient, and safe actions. In the first
 part I will discuss the problem of model criticism in multi-agent interaction and our research in this area. I will also discuss applications to secure authentication in computer networks and interaction-aware planning for autonomous vehicles.</span><br style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">
