Beyond Rational Illusion: Behaviorally Realistic Strategic Classification

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.19674v1 Announce Type: new Strategic classification(SC) studies the interaction between decision models and agents who strategically manipulate their features for favorable outcomes. Existing SC frameworks typically rely on the idealized assumption that agents are strictly rational. However, evidence from behavioral economics and psychology consistently shows that real-world decision-making is often shaped by cognitive biases, deviating from pure rationality.
