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 …

[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 …

Polynomial-time linear-swap regret minimization in imperfect-information sequential games

G Farina, C Pipis - Advances in Neural Information …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
No-regret learners seek to minimize the difference between the loss they cumulated through
the actions they played, and the loss they would have cumulated in hindsight had they …

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 …

On the complexity of multi-agent decision making: From learning in games to partial monitoring

D Foster, DJ Foster, N Golowich… - The Thirty Sixth …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
A central problem in the theory of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is to
understand what structural conditions and algorithmic principles lead to sample-efficient …

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 …

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 …
