Private bayesian persuasion

I Arieli, Y Babichenko - Journal of Economic Theory, 2019 - Elsevier
We consider a multi-receiver Bayesian persuasion problem where an informed sender tries
to persuade a group of receivers to adopt a certain product. The sender is allowed to commit …

Optimal rates and efficient algorithms for online Bayesian persuasion

M Bernasconi, M Castiglioni, A Celli… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Bayesian persuasion studies how an informed sender should influence beliefs of rational
receivers that take decisions through Bayesian updating of a common prior. We focus on the …

Encoding human behavior in information design through deep learning

G Yu, W Tang, S Narayanan… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We initiate the study of $\textit {behavioral information design} $ through deep learning. In
information design, a $\textit {sender} $ aims to persuade a $\textit {receiver} $ to take certain …

Multi-receiver online bayesian persuasion

M Castiglioni, A Marchesi, A Celli… - … on Machine Learning, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
Bayesian persuasion studies how an informed sender should partially disclose information

Selling data to a machine learner: Pricing via costly signaling

J Chen, M Li, H Xu - International Conference on Machine …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider a new problem of selling data to a machine learner who looks to purchase data
to train his machine learning model. A key challenge in this setup is that neither the seller …

Learning to persuade on the fly: Robustness against ignorance

We study a repeated persuasion setting between a sender and a receiver, where at each
time t, the sender shares information about a payoff-relevant state with the receiver. The …

Information design in operations

O Candogan - Pushing the Boundaries: Frontiers in Impactful …, 2020 - pubsonline.informs.org
Consider a set of agents (receivers) whose payoffs depend on an underlying state of the
world as well as each other's actions. Suppose that a designer (sender) commits to a …

[PDF][PDF] Optimal coordination in generalized principal-agent problems: A revisit and extensions

J Gan, M Han, J Wu, H Xu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.01146, 2022 - academia.edu
In the principal-agent problem formulated by Myerson [Mye82], agents have private

Targeting and signaling in ad auctions

A Badanidiyuru, K Bhawalkar, H Xu - Proceedings of the twenty-ninth annual …, 2018 - SIAM
Modern ad auctions allow advertisers to target more specific segments of the user
population. Unfortunately, this is not always in the best interest of the ad platform–partially …
