With the increase in the amount of data in different domains, an opportunity to support the design, implementation, and analysis of these models, using Machine Learning techniques, has emerged. A vast and diverse literature evidences the interest and bene\ufb01ts of this symbiosis, but also exhibits the inadequacy of current speci\ufb01cation standards, such as the Overview, Design concepts and Details (ODD) protocol, to cover such diversity and, in consequence, its lack of use. Given the relevance of standard speci\ufb01cations for the sake of reproducible ABMs, this paper proposes an extension to the ODD Protocol to provide a standardized description of the uses of Machine Learning (ML) in supporting agent-based modeling. The extension is based on categorization, a result of a broad, but integrated, review of the literature, considering the purpose of learning, the moment when the learning process is executed, the components of the model affected by learning, and the algorithms and data used in learning. The proposed extension of the ODD protocol allows orderly and transparent communication of ML work\ufb02ows in ABM, facilitating its understanding and potential replication in other investigations. The presentation of a full-featured agent-based model of tax evasion illustrates the application of the proposed approach where the adoption of machine learning results in an error statistically signi\ufb01cantly lower, with a p-value of 0.02 in the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Furthermore, our analysis provides numerical estimates that reveal the strong impact of the penalty and tax rate on tax evasion. Future work considers other kinds of learning applications, e.g., the calibration of parameters and the analysis of the ABM results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
