No-regret learning dynamics for extensive-form correlated and coarse correlated equilibria

Recently, there has been growing interest around less-restrictive solution concepts than Nash equilibrium in extensive-form games, with significant effort towards the computation of extensive-form correlated equilibrium (EFCE) and extensive-form coarse correlated equilibrium (EFCCE). In this paper, we show how to leverage the popular counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) paradigm to induce simple no-regret dynamics that converge to the set of EFCEs and EFCCEs in an n-player general-sum extensive-form games. For EFCE, we define a notion of internal regret suitable for extensive-form games and exhibit an efficient no-internal-regret algorithm. These results complement those for normal-form games introduced in the seminal paper by Hart and Mas-Colell. For EFCCE, we show that no modification of CFR is needed, and that in fact the empirical frequency of play generated when all the players use the original CFR algorithm converges to the set of EFCCEs.


Truthful Linear Regression

We consider the problem of fitting a linear model to data held by individuals who are concerned about their privacy. Incentivizing most players to truthfully report their data to the analyst constrains our design to mechanisms that provide a privacy guarantee to the participants; we use differential privacy to model individuals' privacy losses. This immediately poses a problem, as differentially private computation of a linear model necessarily produces a biased estimation, and existing approaches to design mechanisms to elicit data from privacy-sensitive individuals do not generalize well to biased estimators. We overcome this challenge through an appropriate design of the computation and payment scheme.
