Meritocratic Fairness via -Shapley Values in Budgeted Combinatorial Bandits with Full-Bandit Feedback
Shradha Sharma, Shweta Jain, Swapnil Dhamal
We study meritocratic fairness in budgeted combinatorial multi-armed bandits with full-bandit feedback, where a learner selects at most arms per time step and observes only the…
The Multi-Stage Assignment Problem: A Fairness Perspective
Vibulan J, Swapnil Dhamal, Shweta Jain
This paper explores the problem of fair assignment on Multi-Stage graphs. A multi-stage graph consists of nodes partitioned into disjoint sets (stages) structured as a sequence…
Simultaneously Achieving Group Exposure Fairness and Within-Group Meritocracy in Stochastic Bandits
Subham Pokhriyal, Shweta Jain, Ganesh Ghalme +2
Existing approaches to fairness in stochastic multi-armed bandits (MAB) primarily focus on exposure guarantee to individual arms. When arms are naturally grouped by certain attribu…
Individual Fairness in Feature-Based Pricing for Monopoly Markets
Shantanu Das, Swapnil Dhamal, Ganesh Ghalme +2
We study fairness in the context of feature-based price discrimination in monopoly markets. We propose a new notion of individual fairness, namely, α-fairness, which guarantees tha…
Ballooning Multi-Armed Bandits
Ganesh Ghalme, Swapnil Dhamal, Shweta Jain +2
In this paper, we introduce Ballooning Multi-Armed Bandits (BL-MAB), a novel extension of the classical stochastic MAB model. In the BL-MAB model, the set of available arms grows (…
A Two Phase Investment Game for Competitive Opinion Dynamics in Social Networks
Swapnil Dhamal, Walid Ben-Ameur, Tijani Chahed +1
We propose a setting for two-phase opinion dynamics in social networks, where a node's final opinion in the first phase acts as its initial biased opinion in the second phase. In t…
