The Cost of Simple Bidding in Combinatorial Auctions
Vitor Bosshard, Sven Seuken
We study a class of manipulations in combinatorial auctions where bidders fundamentally misrepresent what goods they are interested in. Prior work has largely assumed that bidders…
iMLCA: Machine Learning-powered Iterative Combinatorial Auctions with Interval Bidding
Benjamin Lubin, Manuel Beyeler, Gianluca Brero +1
Preference elicitation is a major challenge in large combinatorial auctions because the bundle space grows exponentially in the number of items. Recent work has used machine learni…
Fourier Analysis-based Iterative Combinatorial Auctions
Jakob Weissteiner, Chris Wendler, Sven Seuken +2
Recent advances in Fourier analysis have brought new tools to efficiently represent and learn set functions. In this paper, we bring the power of Fourier analysis to the design of…
Revenue Maximization for Consumer Software: Subscription or Perpetual License?
Ludwig Dierks, Sven Seuken
We study the revenue maximization problem of a publisher selling consumer software. We assume that the publisher sells either traditional perpetual licenses, subscription licenses,…
An Axiomatic Decomposition of Strategyproofness for Ordinal Mechanism with Indifferences
Timo Mennle, Sven Seuken
We study mechanism which operate on ordinal preference information (i.e., rank ordered lists of alternatives) on the full domain of weak preferences that admits indifferences. We p…
Two New Impossibility Results for the Random Assignment Problem
Timo Mennle, Sven Seuken
In this note, we prove two new impossibility results for random assignment mechanisms: Bogomolnaia and Moulin (2001) showed that no assignment mechanism can satisfy strategyproofne…
Local Sufficiency for Partial Strategyproofness
Timo Mennle, Sven Seuken
In (Mennle and Seuken, 2017), we have introduced partial strategyproofness, a new, relaxed notion of strategyproofness, to study the incentive properties of non-strategyproof assig…
The Competitive Effects of Variance-based Pricing
Ludwig Dierks, Sven Seuken
In many markets, like electricity or cloud computing markets, providers incur large costs for keeping sufficient capacity in reserve to accommodate demand fluctuations of a mostly…
