sehee If VCG is so wonderful, why don’t we use it for everything? This post from Game Theory Online (http://www.game-theory-class.org) describes some of the VCG’s serious drawbacks. It features Kevin Leyton-Brown (UBC).
This post from Game Theory Online (http://www.game-theory-class.org) gives an example of VCG in action. It features Yoav Shoham (Stanford).
This post from Game Theory Online (http://www.game-theory-class.org) formally defines the VCG mechanism, and proves some of its desirable properties. It features Matt Jackson (Stanford).
The Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism, or VCG, is one of mechanism design’s success stories. This post from Game Theory Online (http://www.game-theory-class.org) gives a high-level introduction to the VCG mechanism, what it does, why it is important, and the kinds of settings to which it applies. It features Kevin Leyton-Brown (UBC).
I want to identify the client IP for SSL/TLS negotiation errors when connecting to an Application Load Balancer (ALB) using HTTPS.
Our work is aimed at better understanding the behavior of agents in settings where their privacy concerns are explicitly given. We consider a toy setting where agent A, in an attempt to discover the secret type of agent B, offers B a gift that one type of B agent likes and the other type dislikes.
In this work, we propose a new, general way of modeling privacy in players’ utility functions. Specifically, we only assume that if an outcome o has the property that any report of player i would have led to o with approximately the same probability, then o has a small privacy cost to player i.
In the area of privacy-preserving data mining, a differentially private mechanism intuitively encourages people to share their data because they are at little risk of revealing their own information.
Towards constructing mechanisms for privacy-aware agents, we put forward and justify a model of privacy-aware mechanism design. We then show that privacy-aware mechanisms are feasible.
We initiate the study of markets for private data, through the lens of differential privacy. Although the purchase and sale of private data has already begun on a large scale, a theory of privacy as a commodity is missing.
