Cooperative Negotiation in Autonomic Systems using Incremental Utility Elicitation
Craig Boutilier, Rajarshi Das, Jeffrey O. Kephart +2
Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techniq…
Active Collaborative Filtering
Craig Boutilier, Richard S. Zemel, Benjamin Marlin
Collaborative filtering (CF) allows the preferences of multiple users to be pooled to make recommendations regarding unseen products. We consider in this paper the problem of onlin…
Bayesian Vote Manipulation: Optimal Strategies and Impact on Welfare
Tyler Lu, Pingzhong Tang, Ariel D. Procaccia +1
Most analyses of manipulation of voting schemes have adopted two assumptions that greatly diminish their practical import. First, it is usually assumed that the manipulators have f…
Regret Minimizing Equilibria and Mechanisms for Games with Strict Type Uncertainty
Nathanael Hyafil, Craig Boutilier
Mechanism design has found considerable application to the construction of agent-interaction protocols. In the standard setting, the type (e.g., utility function) of an agent is no…
Approximate Linear Programming for First-order MDPs
Scott Sanner, Craig Boutilier
We introduce a new approximate solution technique for first-order Markov decision processes (FOMDPs). Representing the value function linearly w.r.t. a set of first-order basis fun…
Local Utility Elicitation in GAI Models
Darius Braziunas, Craig Boutilier
Structured utility models are essential for the effective representation and elicitation of complex multiattribute utility functions. Generalized additive independence (GAI) models…
