Learning agents, whether humans or algorithms, adapt to one another rather than to a fixed environment. Selfish learning need not produce a good outcome for the group, especially when learners face a…
We study when communication emerges between autonomous agents and what role an innate action selection architecture plays. Two e-puck robots, reconstructed in PyBullet from their Webots model and…
We study stochastic dynamic matching with abandonment, a fundamental model in which agents of different types arrive over time, may abandon the market while waiting, and can be matched in pairs for…
Deploying AI agents to combat dishonest communication is an intuitive response to deception in hybrid human-AI societies. However, the efficacy of such interventions in realistic networked settings…
Large-scale strategic systems, such as maintenance workflows, cyber campaigns, and multi-agent AI pipelines, consist of many interactions whose outcomes determine which later interactions become…
We study the strategic design of learning algorithms in a canonical continuous-time pricing game. We introduce a meta-game in which firms select learning rates for a gradient dynamic, evaluating…
We study worst-case VCG redistribution mechanism design for the public project problem, where n agents decide whether to build a non-excludable public project and the designer chooses a Groves term…
The Guaranteed Utility Mechanism (GUM) was introduced to implement efficiency in Guaranteed Utility Equilibrium (GUE) in dynamic social choice problems. We show that this mechanism also has a…
We study the minimum monetary subsidy required for exact envy-freeness in allocating $m_n$ indivisible goods to $n$ agents. Valuations are additive, item values are i.i.d.
When an envy-free allocation of indivisible goods does not exist, monetary transfers can restore envy-freeness. Existing work on fair division with subsidies, however, typically assumes that these…
Recent advances in mean-field games and its multi-population variants enable large-scale heterogeneous multi-agent systems to be modeled through representative agents and their associated mean-field…
We study online profit maximization in multilateral trade, a setting that generalizes both dynamic pricing and bilateral trade. At each round, an intermediary posts prices to buyers and offers…
A planner in a network of strategic agents faces three entangled challenges: the optimum depends on agents' private information, queried agents may misreport to steer the outcome, and exact…
We study fair division of indivisible items under eligibility constraints: each item may be assigned only to a subset of eligible agents. This model coincides with restricted assignment in…
Metric conditioning can change which equilibrium attracts learning dynamics without moving the equilibria of a differentiable game. We study how to use state-dependent symmetric positive-definite…
We consider the problem of allocating $m$ indivisible items to $n$ agents. For $n \ge 2$, we define $μ(n)$ as the largest $m$ for which every allocation instance with $n$ agents and $m$ items has an…
In decentralised priority coordination, agents announce priority levels and a shared resource serves them in decreasing order, as at an unsignalised intersection; the levels form the decision layer…
Variational quantum algorithms turn choices of Hamiltonian, ansatz, and parameterization into a classical nonconvex optimization problem. We study how this objective function can be visualized and…
We study the problem of computing an allocation of indivisible items that maximizes egalitarian welfare, i.e., the utility of the worst-off agent, when agents' item values or marginal values belong…
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from task-specific models to foundation models and agents, the scope of trustworthy AI has expanded from model-level robustness to the reliability and…
Compact regulatory DNA can free up space in vector payloads, reduce synthesis and assay burden, and expose which sequence features drive predicted activity. Yet most model-based nucleic-acid…
Hardware accelerators based on physical dynamical systems offer an attractive route toward energy-efficient reinforcement learning applications. However, their scalability is challenging because it…
Production scheduling requires realistic models that reflect operational constraints and efficient methods that balance competing goals. Putting these methods into use also requires data integration,…
