Peer-Prediction in the Presence of Outcome Dependent Lying Incentives

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel, Aris Filos Ratsikas

We derive conditions under which a peer-consistency mechanism can be used to elicit truthful data from non-trusted rational agents when an aggregate statistic of the collected data affects the amount of their incentives to lie. Furthermore, we discuss the ...

Brain signals of a Surprise-Actor-Critic model: Evidence for multiple learning modules in human decision making

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi, Kerstin Preuschoff, Marco Philipp Lehmann, Vasiliki Liakoni

Learning how to reach a reward over long series of actions is a remarkable capability of humans, and potentially guided by multiple parallel learning modules. Current brain imaging of learning modules is limited by (i) simple experimental paradigms, (ii) e ...

Evaluating the predictive abilities of mixed logit models with unobserved inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal

Mixed logit models with unobserved inter-and intra-individual heterogeneity hierarchically extend standard mixed logit models by allowing tastes to vary randomly both across individuals and across choice situations encountered by the same individual. Recen ...

A market-based approach for enabling inter-area reserve exchange

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

Considering the sequential clearing of energy and reserves in Europe, enabling inter-area reserve exchange requires optimally allocating inter-area transmission capacities between these two markets. To achieve this, we provide a market-based allocation fra ...
