[PDF][PDF] From External to Swap Regret 2.0: An Efficient Reduction for Large Action Spaces

Y Dagan, C Daskalakis, M Fishelson… - Proceedings of the 56th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We provide a novel reduction from swap-regret minimization to external-regret minimization,
which improves upon the classical reductions of Blum-Mansour and Stoltz-Lugosi in that it …

Oracle efficient online multicalibration and omniprediction

S Garg, C Jung, O Reingold, A Roth - Proceedings of the 2024 Annual ACM …, 2024 - SIAM
A recent line of work has shown a surprising connection between multicalibration, a multi-
group fairness notion, and omniprediction, a learning paradigm that provides simultaneous …

Omnipredictors for regression and the approximate rank of convex functions

P Gopalan, P Okoroafor… - The Thirty Seventh …, 2024 - proceedings.mlr.press
Consider the supervised learning setting where the goal is to learn to predict labels $\mathbf
y $ given points $\mathbf x $ from a distribution. An\textit {omnipredictor} for a class …

On the Distance from Calibration in Sequential Prediction

M Qiao, L Zheng - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.07458, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study a sequential binary prediction setting where the forecaster is evaluated in terms of
the calibration distance, which is defined as the $ L_1 $ distance between the predicted …

Calibrated forecasting and persuasion

A Jain, V Perchet - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.15680, 2024 - arxiv.org
How should an expert send forecasts to maximize her utility subject to passing a calibration
test? We consider a dynamic game where an expert sends probabilistic forecasts to a …

On Computationally Efficient Multi-Class Calibration

P Gopalan, L Hu, GN Rothblum - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.07821, 2024 - arxiv.org
Consider a multi-class labelling problem, where the labels can take values in $[k] $, and a
predictor predicts a distribution over the labels. In this work, we study the following …

Recent Trends in Information Elicitation

R Frongillo, B Waggoner - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2024 - dl.acm.org
This note provides a survey for the Economics and Computation community of some recent
trends in the field of information elicitation. At its core, the field concerns the design of …

Truthfulness of Calibration Measures

N Haghtalab, M Qiao, K Yang, E Zhao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.13979, 2024 - arxiv.org
We initiate the study of the truthfulness of calibration measures in sequential prediction. A
calibration measure is said to be truthful if the forecaster (approximately) minimizes the …

Predict to Minimize Swap Regret for All Payoff-Bounded Tasks

L Hu, Y Wu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.13503, 2024 - arxiv.org
A sequence of predictions is calibrated if and only if it induces no swap regret to all down-
stream decision tasks. We study the Maximum Swap Regret (MSR) of predictions for binary …

Four Facets of Forecast Felicity: Calibration, Predictiveness, Randomness and Regret

R Derr, RC Williamson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.14483, 2024 - arxiv.org
Machine learning is about forecasting. Forecasts, however, obtain their usefulness only
through their evaluation. Machine learning has traditionally focused on types of losses and …
