Recent studies have explored the potential of multimodal large language models for robot control, yet the models' embodied capabilities remain insufficiently characterized across models, tasks, and…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are exact on small sets and drift into estimation on larger ones, a profile reminiscent of children before they master counting. Children cross the barrier with…
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) face significant challenges in roundabout navigation due to dense traffic interactions and unpredictable agent behaviors, necessitating high levels of…
When does experience memory help a closed-loop LLM driving agent? Published gains cannot say, because the two factors we find to matter most, which warmup experiences the pool contains and what any…
In object goal navigation (ObjectNav), an embodied agent must find a target object (e.g., "find a bed") in a previously unseen environment, relying on spatial commonsense such as object…
When robots are deployed in the real-world, they must interact with other agents and accomplish their own goals while adhering to legal constraints. These potentially conflicting objectives are often…
We study how to evaluate $K$ target policies simultaneously in stochastic contextual bandits with linear reward structure. Given a known $d$-dimensional feature map and reward-free access to policy…
Understanding the objectives that drive agents' behavior is crucial in strategic environments, where multiple agents interact and adapt to one another. This challenge arises in domains such as…
A market maker provides liquidity by quoting prices to buy and sell an asset, earning the spread while managing inventory risk. We study market makers trained with multi-agent reinforcement learning…
In reservoir computing, performance depends on whether the fixed dynamics of the reservoir suit the task, and the appropriate memory length and frequency response differ across tasks. The reservoir…
We study proportional cake cutting under an equal-length constraint, where each of $n$ agents must receive a bundle of length exactly $1/n$ that is worth at least $1/n$ to that agent. Our main result…
We prove that computing a complete contiguous $\varepsilon$-envy-free cake allocation is PPAD-complete for normalized rational piecewise-constant additive valuations. The hardness holds even when…
Agents that run for a long time have a memory problem, and it is not the one most systems optimize for. Storing every trace and retrieving the nearest neighbors works early and quietly stops working…
We study a class of strategic hypothesis testing problems in which a principal aims to allocate resources among competing agents who possess data or data-generating mechanisms that may be relevant to…
We study a truthful facility location problem in which agents have private positions in a metric space and known approval preferences over two distinct facilities. Each agent incurs a cost equal to…
The randomized primal-dual framework of Devanur, Jain, and Kleinberg (SODA 2013) splits each unit matching gain between endpoint dual variables according to the matched offline rank. The gain-sharing…
We study the online fair division of indivisible goods. In the standard model, where assignments are irrevocable, no algorithm can guarantee any positive fraction of the maximin share (MMS).
We study the \emph{voter model with opinion graph}, a generalization of the standard (pull) voter model that adds a notion of bounded confidence. In this process, we consider a finite set $A$ of $n$…
Thompson sampling (TS) achieves logarithmic and asymptotically optimal regret in classical stochastic bandits, but its behavior in multi-agent learning remains less understood. We study TS in an…
We study the problem of fair allocation when agents have dichotomous submodular preferences over groups of, rather than individual, items. These preferences naturally extend existing models, and have…
We investigate the problem of allocating indivisible chores among agents with arbitrary positive weights and additive nonnegative cost functions. An allocation is said to be…
One of the most well-known connections between logic and games is Pauly's representation theorem: the induced powers of individuals and coalitions in concurrent game frames correspond, in a precise…
We study the fair allocation of $m$ indivisible chores among $n$ agents in the agent-arrival model against an oblivious adversary. The chore set and the number of agents are known in advance.
EIP-4844 gave Ethereum rollups a separate fee dimension for data, governed by a multiplicative update rule that targets three ``blobs'' per block. Whether this target is reached depends on how many…
