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 …

Strategizing against learners in bayesian games

Y Mansour, M Mohri, J Schneider… - … on Learning Theory, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study repeated two-player games where one of the players, the learner, employs a no-
regret learning strategy, while the other, the optimizer, is a rational utility maximizer. We …

U-calibration: Forecasting for an unknown agent

B Kleinberg, RP Leme, J Schneider… - The Thirty Sixth …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider the problem of evaluating forecasts of binary events whose predictions are
consumed by rational agents who take an action in response to a prediction, but whose …

Fast swap regret minimization and applications to approximate correlated equilibria

B Peng, A Rubinstein - Proceedings of the 56th Annual ACM Symposium …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We give a simple and computationally efficient algorithm that, for any constant ε> 0, obtains ε
T-swap regret within only T=(n) rounds; this is an exponential improvement compared to the …

Is learning in games good for the learners?

W Brown, J Schneider… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider a number of questions related to tradeoffs between reward and regret in
repeated gameplay between two agents. To facilitate this, we introduce a notion of …

Contracting with a learning agent

G Guruganesh, Y Kolumbus, J Schneider… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Many real-life contractual relations differ completely from the clean, static model at the heart
of principal-agent theory. Typically, they involve repeated strategic interactions of the …

Auctions between regret-minimizing agents

Y Kolumbus, N Nisan - Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference 2022, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We analyze a scenario in which software agents implemented as regret-minimizing
algorithms engage in a repeated auction on behalf of their users. We study first-price and …

Selling to multiple no-regret buyers

L Cai, SM Weinberg, E Wildenhain, S Zhang - International Conference on …, 2023 - Springer
We consider the problem of repeatedly auctioning a single item to multiple iid buyers who
each use a no-regret learning algorithm to bid over time. In particular, we study the seller's …

Learning and efficiency in games with dynamic population

T Lykouris, V Syrgkanis, É Tardos - Proceedings of the twenty-seventh annual …, 2016 - SIAM
We study the quality of outcomes in repeated games when the population of players is
dynamically changing, and where participants use learning algorithms to adapt to the …

Efficient prior-free mechanisms for no-regret agents

N Collina, A Roth, H Shao - Proceedings of the 25th ACM Conference on …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We study a repeated Principal Agent problem between a long lived Principal and Agent pair
in a prior free setting. In our setting, the sequence of realized states of nature may be …
