Abstract: The nuanced differences in human behavior and the complex dynamics of human-AI interactions pose significant challenges in optimizing human-AI cooperation. Existing approaches tend to oversimplify the problem and rely on a single global behavior model, which overlooks individual variability, leading to sub-optimal solutions. To bridge this gap, we introduce PHICO, a novel framework for human-AI cooperative classification that initially identifies a set of representative annotator profiles characterized by unique noisy label patterns. These patterns are then augmented to train personalised AI cooperative models, each tailored to an annotator profile. When these models are paired with human inputs that exhibit similar noise patterns from a corresponding profile, they consistently achieve a joint classification accuracy that exceeds those achieved by either AI or human alone. To evaluate PHICO, we introduce novel measures for assessing human-AI cooperative classification and empirically demonstrate its generalisability and performance across diverse datasets including CIFAR-10N, CIFAR-10H, Fashion-MNIST-H, AgNews, and Chaoyang histopathology. PHICO is both a model-agnostic and effective solution for improving human-AI cooperation.
