Why Do LLMs Struggle in Strategic Play? Broken Links Between Observations, Beliefs, and Actions
Jan Sobotka, Mustafa O. Karabag, Ufuk Topcu
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly tasked with strategic decision-making under incomplete information, such as in negotiation and policymaking. While LLMs can excel at m…
Deceptive Exploration in Multi-armed Bandits
I. Arda Vurankaya, Mustafa O. Karabag, Wesley A. Suttle +3
We consider a multi-armed bandit setting in which each arm has a public and a private reward distribution. An observer expects an agent to follow Thompson Sampling according to the…
Deceptive Planning Exploiting Inattention Blindness
Mustafa O. Karabag, Jesse Milzman, Ufuk Topcu
We study decision-making with rational inattention in settings where agents have perception constraints. In such settings, inaccurate prior beliefs or models of others may lead to…
Designing Inferable Signaling Schemes for Bayesian Persuasion
Caleb Probine, Mustafa O. Karabag, Ufuk Topcu
In Bayesian persuasion, an informed sender, who observes a state, commits to a randomized signaling scheme that guides a self-interested receiver's actions. Classical models assume…
Monotonic Transformation Invariant Multi-task Learning
Surya Murthy, Kushagra Gupta, Mustafa O. Karabag +2
Multi-task learning (MTL) algorithms typically rely on schemes that combine different task losses or their gradients through weighted averaging. These methods aim to find Pareto st…
Cooperative Bargaining Games Without Utilities: Mediated Solutions from Direction Oracles
Kushagra Gupta, Surya Murthy, Mustafa O. Karabag +2
Cooperative bargaining games are widely used to model resource allocation and conflict resolution. Traditional solutions assume the mediator can access agents utility function valu…
