Fair Coordination in Strategic Scheduling
Wei-Chen Lee, Martin Bullinger, Alessandro Abate +1
We consider a scheduling problem of strategic agents representing jobs of different weights. Each agent has to decide on one of a finite set of identical machines to get their job…
Multi-agent coordination via communication partitions
Wei-Chen Lee, Alessandro Abate, Michael Wooldridge
Coordinating the behaviour of self-interested agents in the presence of multiple Nash equilibria is a major research challenge for multi-agent systems. Pre-game communication betwe…
Characterising and Verifying the Core in Concurrent Multi-Player Mean-Payoff Games (Full Version)
Julian Gutierrez, Anthony W. Lin, Muhammad Najib +2
Concurrent multi-player mean-payoff games are important models for systems of agents with individual, non-dichotomous preferences. Whilst these games have been extensively studied…
Incentive Engineering for Concurrent Games
David Hyland, Julian Gutierrez, Michael Wooldridge
We consider the problem of incentivising desirable behaviours in multi-agent systems by way of taxation schemes. Our study employs the concurrent games model: in this model, each a…
On Imperfect Recall in Multi-Agent Influence Diagrams
James Fox, Matt MacDermott, Lewis Hammond +3
Multi-agent influence diagrams (MAIDs) are a popular game-theoretic model based on Bayesian networks. In some settings, MAIDs offer significant advantages over extensive-form game…
Designing Equilibria in Concurrent Games with Social Welfare and Temporal Logic Constraints
Julian Gutierrez, Muhammad Najib, Giuseppe Perelli +1
In game theory, mechanism design is concerned with the design of incentives so that a desired outcome of the game can be achieved. In this paper, we explore the concept of equilibr…
Principal-Agent Boolean Games
David Hyland, Julian Gutierrez, Michael Wooldridge
We introduce and study a computational version of the principal-agent problem -- a classic problem in Economics that arises when a principal desires to contract an agent to carry o…
k-Prize Weighted Voting Games
Wei-Chen Lee, David Hyland, Alessandro Abate +5
We introduce a natural variant of weighted voting games, which we refer to as k-Prize Weighted Voting Games. Such games consist of n players with weights, and k prizes, of possibly…
Reasoning about Causality in Games
Lewis Hammond, James Fox, Tom Everitt +3
Causal reasoning and game-theoretic reasoning are fundamental topics in artificial intelligence, among many other disciplines: this paper is concerned with their intersection. Desp…
Learning Task Automata for Reinforcement Learning using Hidden Markov Models
Alessandro Abate, Yousif Almulla, James Fox +2
Training reinforcement learning (RL) agents using scalar reward signals is often infeasible when an environment has sparse and non-Markovian rewards. Moreover, handcrafting these r…
