Accelerating Min-Max Optimization via Power-Law Stepsizes

Yue Wu, Weiqiang Zheng, Yang Cai +1

We revisit the convergence guarantees of the Extragradient (EG) method for unconstrained biaffine min-max optimization. It is known that EG with a fixed stepsize achieves a $Θ(T^{…

Swap Regret Minimization Through Response-Based Approachability

Ioannis Anagnostides, Gabriele Farina, Maxwell Fishelson +2

We consider the problem of minimizing different notions of swap regret in online optimization. These forms of regret are tightly connected to correlated equilibrium concepts in gam…

Is Online Linear Optimization Sufficient for Strategic Robustness?

Yang Cai, Haipeng Luo, Chen-Yu Wei +1

We consider bidding in repeated Bayesian first-price auctions. Bidding algorithms that achieve optimal regret have been extensively studied, but their strategic robustness to the s…

From Average-Iterate to Last-Iterate Convergence in Games: A Reduction and Its Applications

Yang Cai, Haipeng Luo, Chen-Yu Wei +1

The convergence of online learning algorithms in games under self-play is a fundamental question in game theory and machine learning. Among various notions of convergence, last-ite…

Proximal Regret and Proximal Correlated Equilibria: A New Tractable Solution Concept for Online Learning and Games

Yang Cai, Constantinos Daskalakis, Haipeng Luo +2

Learning and computation of equilibria are central problems in game theory, theory of computation, and artificial intelligence. In this work, we introduce proximal regret, a new no…

On Tractable -Equilibria in Non-Concave Games

Yang Cai, Constantinos Daskalakis, Haipeng Luo +2

While Online Gradient Descent and other no-regret learning procedures are known to efficiently converge to a coarse correlated equilibrium in games where each agent's utility is co…
