Calibrated Fairness in Bandits

TL;DR: The fairness framework of "treating similar individuals similarly" is adapted to the dueling bandit seing, and a variation on ompson sampling satises smooth fairness for total variation distance, and an O((kT) 2/3) bound on fairness regret is given.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Peer Prediction with Heterogeneous Users

TL;DR: This work clusters agents based on their reporting behavior, proposing a mechanism that works with clusters of agents and designing algorithms that learn such a clustering, and retains the robustness against coordinated misreports of the CA mechanism, achieving an approximate incentive guarantee of ε-informed truthfulness.
Proceedings Article

Efficient and Thrifty Voting by Any Means Necessary

TL;DR: This work takes an unorthodox view of voting by expanding the design space to include both the elicitation rule, whereby voters map their (cardinal) preferences to votes, and the aggregation rule, which transforms the reported votes into collective decisions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A Truthful Budget Feasible Multi-Armed Bandit Mechanism for Crowdsourcing Time Critical Tasks

TL;DR: This work proposes a mechanism that maximizes the expected number of successfully completed tasks, assuring budget feasibility, incentive compatibility, and individual rationality in a multi-armed bandit problem with several real-world features.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Optimal Communication-Distortion Tradeoff in Voting

TL;DR: A novel framework for the winner selection problem in voting, in which a voting rule is seen as a combination of an elicitation rule and an aggregation rule, is study, which shows that the best communication complexity is ~Θ (m/(kd)) when the rule uses deterministic elicitation and ~δ (m/d3) when therule uses randomized elicitation.
