Contracting with a Learning Agent

NeurIPS 2024poster

Real-life contractual relations typically involve repeated interactions between the principal and agent, where, despite theoretical appeal, players rarely use complex dynamic strategies and instead manage uncertainty through learning algorithms. In this paper, we initiate the study of repeated cont…

Asynchronous Proportional Response Dynamics: Convergence in Markets with Adversarial Scheduling

NeurIPS 2023poster

We study Proportional Response Dynamics (PRD) in linear Fisher markets, where participants act asynchronously. We model this scenario as a sequential process in which at each step, an adversary selects a subset of the players to update their bids, subject to liveness constraints. We show that if eve…

Explainable Reinforcement Learning via Model Transforms

NeurIPS 2022accept

Understanding emerging behaviors of reinforcement learning (RL) agents may be difficult since such agents are often trained in complex environments using highly complex decision making procedures. This has given rise to a variety of approaches to explainability in RL that aim to reconcile discrepanc…
