Performative power

M Hardt, M Jagadeesan… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We introduce the notion of performative power, which measures the ability of a firm
operating an algorithmic system, such as a digital content recommendation platform, to …

Anticipating performativity by predicting from predictions

C Mendler-Dünner, F Ding… - Advances in neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Predictions about people, such as their expected educational achievement or their credit
risk, can be performative and shape the outcome that they are designed to predict …

Data feedback loops: Model-driven amplification of dataset biases

R Taori, T Hashimoto - International Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Datasets scraped from the internet have been critical to large-scale machine learning. Yet,
its success puts the utility of future internet-derived datasets at potential risk, as model …

Performative prediction in a stateful world

G Brown, S Hod, I Kalemaj - International conference on …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Deployed supervised machine learning models make predictions that interact with and
influence the world. This phenomenon is called performative prediction by Perdomo et …

Multiplayer performative prediction: Learning in decision-dependent games

A Narang, E Faulkner, D Drusvyatskiy, M Fazel… - Journal of Machine …, 2023 - jmlr.org
Learning problems commonly exhibit an interesting feedback mechanism wherein the
population data reacts to competing decision makers' actions. This paper formulates a new …

Alternative microfoundations for strategic classification

M Jagadeesan, C Mendler-Dünner… - … on Machine Learning, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
When reasoning about strategic behavior in a machine learning context it is tempting to
combine standard microfoundations of rational agents with the statistical decision theory …

Who leads and who follows in strategic classification?

T Zrnic, E Mazumdar, S Sastry… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
As predictive models are deployed into the real world, they must increasingly contend with
strategic behavior. A growing body of work on strategic classification treats this problem as a …

Regret minimization with performative feedback

M Jagadeesan, T Zrnic… - … on Machine Learning, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
In performative prediction, the deployment of a predictive model triggers a shift in the data
distribution. As these shifts are typically unknown ahead of time, the learner needs to deploy …

Multi-agent performative prediction with greedy deployment and consensus seeking agents

Q Li, CY Yau, HT Wai - Advances in Neural Information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider a scenario where multiple agents are learning a common decision vector from
data which can be influenced by the agents' decisions. This leads to the problem of multi …

Online performative gradient descent for learning nash equilibria in decision-dependent games

Z Zhu, E Fang, Z Yang - Advances in Neural Information …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the multi-agent game within the innovative framework of decision-dependent
games, which establishes a feedback mechanism that population data reacts to agents' …
