Calibrated stackelberg games: Learning optimal commitments against calibrated agents

N Haghtalab, C Podimata… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of the standard Stackelberg Games (SGs)
framework: Calibrated Stackelberg Games. In CSGs, a principal repeatedly interacts with an …

Optimal and differentially private data acquisition: Central and local mechanisms

A Fallah, A Makhdoumi, A Malekian… - Operations …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a platform's problem of collecting data from privacy sensitive users to estimate
an underlying parameter of interest. We formulate this question as a Bayesian-optimal …

Learning in stackelberg games with non-myopic agents

N Haghtalab, T Lykouris, S Nietert, A Wei - Proceedings of the 23rd ACM …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Stackelberg games are a canonical model for strategic principal-agent interactions.
Consider, for instance, a defense system that distributes its security resources across high …

Data-sharing markets: model, protocol, and algorithms to incentivize the formation of data-sharing consortia

R Castro Fernandez - Proceedings of the ACM on Management of Data, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Organizations that would mutually benefit from pooling their data are otherwise wary of
sharing. This is because sharing data is costly-in time and effort-and, at the same time, the …

User strategization and trustworthy algorithms

SH Cen, A Ilyas, A Madry - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.17666, 2023 - arxiv.org
Many human-facing algorithms--including those that power recommender systems or hiring
decision tools--are trained on data provided by their users. The developers of these …

Nash convergence of mean-based learning algorithms in first price auctions

X Deng, X Hu, T Lin, W Zheng - … of the ACM Web Conference 2022, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Understanding the convergence properties of learning dynamics in repeated auctions is a
timely and important question in the area of learning in auctions, with numerous applications …

Protecting data markets from strategic buyers

R Castro Fernandez - Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
The growing adoption of data analytics platforms and machine learning-based solutions for
decision-makers creates a significant demand for datasets, which explains the appearance …

Optimal non-parametric learning in repeated contextual auctions with strategic buyer

A Drutsa - International Conference on Machine Learning, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study learning algorithms that optimize revenue in repeated contextual posted-price
auctions where a seller interacts with a single strategic buyer that seeks to maximize his …

Bridging central and local differential privacy in data acquisition mechanisms

A Fallah, A Makhdoumi… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the design of optimal Bayesian data acquisition mechanisms for a platform
interested in estimating the mean of a distribution by collecting data from privacy-conscious …

Nash incentive-compatible online mechanism learning via weakly differentially private online learning

JS Huh, K Kandasamy - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.04898, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study a multi-round mechanism design problem, where we interact with a set of agents
over a sequence of rounds. We wish to design an incentive-compatible (IC) online learning …
