A Practical Influence Approximation for Privacy-Preserving Data Filtering in Federated Learning

Boi Faltings, Ljubomir Rokvic, Panayiotis Danassis

Federated Learning by nature is susceptible to low-quality, corrupted, or even malicious data that can severely degrade the quality of the learned model. Traditional techniques for data valuation cannot be applied as the data is never revealed. We present ...

AI-driven Prices for Externalities and Sustainability in Production Markets

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

Traditional competitive markets do not account for negative externalities; indirect costs that some participants impose on others, such as the cost of over-appropriating a common-pool resource (which diminishes future stock, and thus harvest, for everyone) ...

Scalable Multi-agent Coordination and Resource Sharing

Panayiotis Danassis

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 ...

Putting ridesharing to the test: efficient and scalable solutions and the power of dynamic vehicle relocation

Boi Faltings, Marija Sakota, Panayiotis Danassis

We study the optimization of large-scale, real-time ridesharing systems and propose a modular design methodology, Component Algorithms for Ridesharing (CAR). We evaluate a diverse set of CARs (14 in total), focusing on the key algorithmic components of rid ...

Exploiting environmental signals to enable policy correlation in large-scale decentralized systems

Boi Faltings, Zeki Doruk Erden, Panayiotis Danassis

Can artificial agents benefit from human conventions? Human societies manage to successfully self-organize and resolve the tragedy of the commons in common-pool resources, in spite of the bleak prediction of non-cooperative game theory. On top of that, rea ...

A Distributed Differentially Private Algorithm for Resource Allocation in Unboundedly Large Settings

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn, Panayiotis Danassis

We introduce a practical and scalable algorithm (PALMA) for solving one of the fundamental problems of multi-agent systems -- finding matches and allocations -- in unboundedly large settings (e.g., resource allocation in urban environments, mobility-on-dem ...

Improving Multi-agent Coordination by Learning to Estimate Contention

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis, Florian Wiedemair

We present a multi-agent learning algorithm, ALMA-Learning, for efficient and fair allocations in large-scale systems. We circumvent the traditional pitfalls of multi-agent learning (e.g., the moving target problem, the curse of dimensionality, or the need ...

Efficient Allocations in Constant Time: Towards Scalable Solutions in the Era of Large Scale Intelligent Systems

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis

The next technological revolution will be interwoven to the proliferation of intelligent systems. As we bridge the gap between physical and cyber worlds, we will give rise to large-scale, multi-agent based technologies. A key challenge that cities of the f ...
