A multi-agent system consists of a collection of decision-making or learning agents subjected to streaming observations from some real-world phenomenon. The goal of the system is to solve some global learning or optimization problem in a distributed or dec ...
A plethora of real world problems consist of a number of agents that interact, learn, cooperate, coordinate, and compete with others in ever more complex environments. Examples include autonomous vehicles, robotic agents, intelligent infrastructure, IoT de ...
Information acquisition through crowdsensing with mobile agents is a popular way to collect data, especially in the context of smart cities where the deployment of dedicated data collectors is expensive and ineffective. It requires efficient information el ...
This paper develops a distributed variance-reduced strategy for a collection of interacting agents that are connected by a graph topology. The resulting diffusion-AVRG (where AVRG stands for "amortized variance-reduced gradient") algorithm is shown to have ...
This work studies the problem of inferring from streaming data whether an agent is directly influenced by another agent over an adaptive network of interacting agents. Agent i influences agent j if they are connected, and if agent j uses the information fr ...
We consider multiagent decision making where each agent optimizes its convex cost function subject to individual and coupling constraints. The constraint sets are compact convex subsets of a Euclidean space. To learn Nash equilibria, we propose a novel dis ...
Beliefs inform the behaviour of forward-thinking agents in complex environments. Recently, sequential Bayesian inference has emerged as a mechanism to study belief formation among agents adapting to dynamical conditions. However, we lack critical theory to ...
Some recent trends in distributed intelligent systems rely extensively on agent-based approaches. The so-called Multi Agent Systems (MAS) are taking over the management of sensitive data on behalf of their producers and users (e.g., medical records, financ ...
Some individuals voluntarily engage in costly pro-environmental actions although their efforts have limited direct benefits. This paper proposes a novel economic model with heterogeneous agents explaining why. Each agent has a homo moralis type of preferen ...
This work studies the learning abilities of agents sharing partial beliefs over social networks. The agents observe data that could have risen from one of several hypotheses and interact locally to decide whether the observations they are receiving have ri ...
