Learning Through Imitation: An Experiment
Marina Agranov, Gabriel Lopez-Moctezuma, Philipp Strack +1
We compare how well agents aggregate information in two repeated social learning environments. In the first setting agents have access to a public data set. In the second they have…
Asymptotic Renyi Entropies of Random Walks on Groups
Kimberly Golubeva, Minghao Pan, Omer Tamuz
We introduce asymptotic Rényi entropies as a parameterized family of invariants for random walks on groups. These invariants interpolate between various well-studied properties of…
On the origin of the Boltzmann distribution
Fedor Sandomirskiy, Omer Tamuz
The family of Boltzmann distributions is used in statistical mechanics to describe the distribution of states in systems with a given temperature. We give a novel characterization…
The Hazards and Benefits of Condescension in Social Learning
Itai Arieli, Yakov Babichenko, Stephan Müller +2
In a misspecified social learning setting, agents are condescending if they perceive their peers as having private information that is of lower quality than it is in reality. Apply…
A quantitative Neumann lemma for finitely generated groups
Elia Gorokhovsky, Nicolás Matte Bon, Omer Tamuz
We study the coset covering function of a finitely generated group: the number of cosets of infinite index subgroups needed to cover the ball of radius . We sh…
Private Private Information
Kevin He, Fedor Sandomirskiy, Omer Tamuz
Private signals model noisy information about an unknown state. Although these signals are called "private," they may still carry information about each other. Our paper introduces…
