Semi-Centralized Platforms for Steering Online Multi-Learner Environments
In scenarios like online advertising markets and financial exchanges, autonomous, self-interested learning agents engage in strategic interactions via a shared platform. Platforms typically opt for a passive role, providing the shared infrastructure necessary for the operation of the multi-learner environment, while keeping learning procedures decentralized. Fully centralized systems can potentially yield superior outcomes by optimizing shared objectives like social welfare, but they are seldom chosen. The goal of this project is to bridge the gap between these two extremes by establishing the theoretical foundations of semi-centralized platforms (SCP). SCPs aim to combine the best…
