Yang Cai, Eric Xue
We study the model of metric voting proposed by Feldman et al. [2020]. In this model, experts and candidates are located in a metric space, and each candidate possesses a quality t…
Uncoupled and Convergent Learning in Two-Player Zero-Sum Markov Games with Bandit Feedback
Yang Cai, Haipeng Luo, Chen-Yu Wei +1
We revisit the problem of learning in two-player zero-sum Markov games, focusing on developing an algorithm that is uncoupled, convergent, and rational, with non-asymptotic converg…
