Entropy-informed Decoding: Adaptive Information-Driven Branching
Benjamin Patrick Evans, Sumitra Ganesh, Leo Ardon
Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable generative performance, yet their output quality is dependent on the decoding strategy. While sampling-based methods (e.g., top-k, n…
Learning in Stackelberg Mean Field Games: A Non-Asymptotic Analysis
Sihan Zeng, Benjamin Patrick Evans, Sujay Bhatt +3
We study policy optimization in Stackelberg mean field games (MFGs), a hierarchical framework for modeling the strategic interaction between a single leader and an infinitely large…
Downside Risk-Aware Equilibria for Strategic Decision-Making
Oliver Slumbers, Benjamin Patrick Evans, Sumitra Ganesh +1
Game theory has traditionally had a relatively limited view of risk based on how a player's expected reward is impacted by the uncertainty of the actions of other players. Recently…
Modelling bounded rational decision-making through Wasserstein constraints
Benjamin Patrick Evans, Leo Ardon, Sumitra Ganesh
Modelling bounded rational decision-making through information constrained processing provides a principled approach for representing departures from rationality within a reinforce…
Decentralized Convergence to Equilibrium Prices in Trading Networks
Edwin Lock, Benjamin Patrick Evans, Eleonora Kreacic +4
We propose a decentralized market model in which agents can negotiate bilateral contracts. This builds on a similar, but centralized, model of trading networks introduced by Hatfie…
ADAGE: A generic two-layer framework for adaptive agent based modelling
Benjamin Patrick Evans, Sihan Zeng, Sumitra Ganesh +1
Agent-based models (ABMs) are valuable for modelling complex, potentially out-of-equilibria scenarios. However, ABMs have long suffered from the Lucas critique, stating that agent…
