technical paper

AAMAS is the leading scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 as the merging of three respected scientific meetings: the International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS), the International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL), and the International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA). The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally-respected archival forum for scientific research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.

We provide a tutorial of the Virtual Human Toolkit. The Toolkit is a collection of modules, tools, and libraries designed to aid and support researchers and developers with the creation of virtual human conversational characters. The Toolkit is developed at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies, is freely available for the academic research community, and supports speech recognition, natural language processing, nonverbal behavior generation, nonverbal behavior realization, text-to-speech generation, and rendering. This tutorial focuses on three areas: 1) overview of the main technologies, 2) overview of the overall architecture, and 3) hands-on creation of a basic interactive character. The target audience is interested researchers within the field of interactive agents and related areas with an affinity for technology.

Increasingly, much work in AI – from machine learning and natural language processing to planning, perception, and robotics – is based on classical (continuous) optimization. While this foundation has proved to be of considerable practical utility, the increasingly decentralized and networked nature of computation in the 21st century, implies that classical optimization may prove increasingly restrictive, as AI tackles applications that involve massively large networked environments, where data is stored heterogeneously in the “cloud”, and computation involves balancing multiple competing objectives, including cost, privacy, reliability, and security. The aim of this tutorial is to present an elegant mathematical formalism for solving large games that has been extensively studied in network economics, but so far, has not yet played a major role in multiagent AI. The framework is based on variational inequalities, a formalism that extends classical optimization to vector fields. We use a variety of real-world problems, from modeling traffic flow to content distribution on the Internet and green supply chains in sustainable manufacturing, to illustrate the power of this formalism. We also show that work in deep learning on generative adversarial networks results in complex network dynamics, and can be profitably studied this framework. The tutorial will introduce all the necessary mathematics, and should be of interest to AAMAS researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Network Economics, Variational Inequalities and Deep Learning

Fairness in algorithmic decision-making has received growing attention recently. However, fairness in the context of resource allocation has been formally studied for many decades in microeconomics, and for a few decades in computer science. This tutorial will present an overview of this literature, its various fairness definitions, and fair algorithms. The focus will be on recent advances, but no prior background will be required.

The first part of the tutorial will look at the classic setting of cake-cutting, which models allocation of a divisible resource. This part will cover classic fairness notions such as proportionality, envy-freeness, equitability, and Pareto optimality, and explore their interplay with game-theoretic notions such as strategyproofness. This part will end with a discussion on connections between fairness and market equilibria.

The second part of the tutorial will focus on the allocation of indivisible items. This will cover relaxations of proportionality, envy-freeness, and equitability, as well as other fairness notions such as maximin share guarantee. This part will explore static versus dynamic allocations, goods versus chores, private versus public goods, etc.

The tutorial will end with a high-level discussion on how to apply these fairness definitions in other contexts such as voting, machine learning, or ethical decision-making.

AAMAS 2020  - Day 1

We study online learning settings in which experts act strategically to maximize their influence on the learning algorithm’s predictions by potentially misreporting their beliefs about a sequence of binary events. Our goal is twofold. First, we want the learning algorithm to be no-regret with respect to the best-fixed expert in hindsight. Second, we want incentive compatibility, a guarantee that each expert’s best strategy is to report his true beliefs about the realization of each event. To achieve this goal, we build on the literature on wagering mechanisms, a type of multi-agent scoring rule. We provide algorithms that achieve no regret and incentive compatibility for myopic experts for both the full and partial information settings. In experiments on datasets from FiveThirtyEight, our algorithms have regret comparable to classic no-regret algorithms, which are not incentive-compatible. Finally, we identify an incentive-compatible algorithm for forward-looking strategic agents that exhibits diminishing regret in practice.
