Chow-Liu Ordering for Long-Context Reasoning in Chain-of-Agents
Naman Gupta, Vaibhav Singh, Arun Iyer +8
Sequential multi-agent reasoning frameworks such as Chain-of-Agents (CoA) handle long-context queries by decomposing inputs into chunks and processing them sequentially using LLM-b…
Truthful Reverse Auctions for Adaptive Selection via Contextual Multi-Armed Bandits
Pronoy Patra, Sankarshan Damle, Manisha Padala +1
We study the problem of selecting large language models (LLMs) for user queries in settings where multiple LLM providers submit the cost of solving a query. From the users' perspec…
COSMIR: Chain Orchestrated Structured Memory for Iterative Reasoning over Long Context
Naman Gupta, Shreeyash Gowaikar, Arun Iyer +6
Reasoning over very long inputs remains difficult for large language models (LLMs). Common workarounds either shrink the input via retrieval (risking missed evidence), enlarge the…
LLMs for Resource Allocation: A Participatory Budgeting Approach to Inferring Preferences
Sankarshan Damle, Boi Faltings
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to handle complex decision-making tasks, yet their ability to perform structured resource allocation remains underexplored. E…
Exploring Continual Fine-Tuning for Enhancing Language Ability in Large Language Model
Divyanshu Aggarwal, Sankarshan Damle, Navin Goyal +2
A common challenge towards the adaptability of Large Language Models (LLMs) is their ability to learn new languages over time without hampering the model's performance on languages…
Centralization in Proof-of-Stake Blockchains: A Game-Theoretic Analysis of Bootstrapping Protocols
Varul Srivastava, Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar
Proof-of-stake (PoS) has emerged as a natural alternative to the resource-intensive Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain, as was recently seen with the Ethereum Merge. PoS-based blockcha…
No Transaction Fees? No Problem! Achieving Fairness in Transaction Fee Mechanism Design
Sankarshan Damle, Varul Srivastava, Sujit Gujar
The recently proposed Transaction Fee Mechanism (TFM) literature studies the strategic interaction between the miner of a block and the transaction creators (or users) in a blockch…
Analyzing Crowdfunding of Public Projects Under Dynamic Beliefs
Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar
In the last decade, social planners have used crowdfunding to raise funds for public projects. As these public projects are non-excludable, the beneficiaries may free-ride. Thus, t…
Designing Redistribution Mechanisms for Reducing Transaction Fees in Blockchains
Sankarshan Damle, Manisha Padala, Sujit Gujar
Blockchains deploy Transaction Fee Mechanisms (TFMs) to determine which user transactions to include in blocks and determine their payments (i.e., transaction fees). Increasing dem…
AVeCQ: Anonymous Verifiable Crowdsourcing with Worker Qualities
Sankarshan Damle, Vlasis Koutsos, Dimitrios Papadopoulos +2
In crowdsourcing systems, requesters publish tasks, and interested workers provide answers to get rewards. Worker anonymity motivates participation since it protects their privacy.…
Combinatorial Civic Crowdfunding with Budgeted Agents: Welfare Optimality at Equilibrium and Optimal Deviation
Sankarshan Damle, Manisha Padala, Sujit Gujar
Civic Crowdfunding (CC) uses the ``power of the crowd'' to garner contributions towards public projects. As these projects are non-excludable, agents may prefer to ``free-ride,'' r…
Differentially Private Federated Combinatorial Bandits with Constraints
Sambhav Solanki, Samhita Kanaparthy, Sankarshan Damle +1
There is a rapid increase in the cooperative learning paradigm in online learning settings, i.e., federated learning (FL). Unlike most FL settings, there are many situations where…
Tiramisu: Layering Consensus Protocols for Scalable and Secure Blockchains
Anurag Jain, Sanidhay Arora, Sankarshan Damle +1
Cryptocurrencies are poised to revolutionize the modern economy by democratizing commerce. These currencies operate on top of blockchain-based distributed ledgers. Existing permiss…
REFORM: Reputation Based Fair and Temporal Reward Framework for Crowdsourcing
Samhita Kanaparthy, Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar
Crowdsourcing is an effective method to collect data by employing distributed human population. Researchers introduce appropriate reward mechanisms to incentivize agents to report…
F3: Fair and Federated Face Attribute Classification with Heterogeneous Data
Samhita Kanaparthy, Manisha Padala, Sankarshan Damle +2
Fairness across different demographic groups is an essential criterion for face-related tasks, Face Attribute Classification (FAC) being a prominent example. Apart from this trend,…
Federated Learning Meets Fairness and Differential Privacy
Manisha Padala, Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar
Deep learning's unprecedented success raises several ethical concerns ranging from biased predictions to data privacy. Researchers tackle these issues by introducing fairness metri…
FASTEN: Fair and Secure Distributed Voting Using Smart Contracts
Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar, Moin Hussain Moti
Electing democratic representatives via voting has been a common mechanism since the 17th century. However, these mechanisms raise concerns about fairness, privacy, vote concealmen…
A Practical Solution to Yao's Millionaires' Problem and Its Application in Designing Secure Combinatorial Auction
Sankarshan Damle, Boi Faltings, Sujit Gujar
The emergence of e-commerce and e-voting platforms has resulted in the rise in the volume of sensitive information over the Internet. This has resulted in an increased demand for s…
Civic Crowdfunding for Agents with Negative Valuations and Agents with Asymmetric Beliefs
Sankarshan Damle, Moin Hussain Moti, Praphul Chandra +1
In the last decade, civic crowdfunding has proved to be effective in generating funds for the provision of public projects. However, the existing literature deals only with citizen…
Designing Refund Bonus Schemes for Provision Point Mechanism in Civic Crowdfunding
Sankarshan Damle, Moin Hussain Moti, Praphul Chandra +1
Civic crowdfunding (CC) is a popular medium for raising funds for civic projects from interested agents. With Blockchains gaining traction, we can implement CC in a reliable, trans…
