Trust is an important factor in the interaction between humans and automation that can mediate the reliance of human operators. In this work, we evaluate a computational model of human trust on swarm systems based on Sheridan (2019)’s modified Kalman estimation model using existing experiment data (Nam, Li, Li, Lewis, & Sycara, 2018). Results show that our Kalman Filter model outperforms existing state of the art alternatives including dynamic Bayesian networks and inverse reinforcement learning. This work is novel in that: 1) The Kalman estimator is the first computational model formulating the human trust evolution as a combination of both open-loop trust anticipation and closed-loop trust feedback. 2) The proposed model considers the operator’s cognitive time lag between perceiving and processing the system display. 3) The proposed model provides a personalized model for each individual and reaches a better level of fitness than state-of-the-art alternatives.
