Grasper: A Generalist Pursuer for Pursuit-Evasion Problems

1 code implementation19 Apr 2024 Pengdeng Li, Shuxin Li, Xinrun Wang, Jakub Cerny, Youzhi Zhang, Stephen Mcaleer, Hau Chan, Bo An

Pursuit-evasion games (PEGs) model interactions between a team of pursuers and an evader in graph-based environments such as urban street networks.

Self-adaptive PSRO: Towards an Automatic Population-based Game Solver

no code implementations17 Apr 2024 Pengdeng Li, Shuxin Li, Chang Yang, Xinrun Wang, Xiao Huang, Hau Chan, Bo An

(2) We propose the self-adaptive PSRO (SPSRO) by casting the hyperparameter value selection of the parametric PSRO as a hyperparameter optimization (HPO) problem where our objective is to learn an HPO policy that can self-adaptively determine the optimal hyperparameter values during the running of the parametric PSRO.

Population-size-Aware Policy Optimization for Mean-Field Games

no code implementations7 Feb 2023 Pengdeng Li, Xinrun Wang, Shuxin Li, Hau Chan, Bo An

In this work, we attempt to bridge the two fields of finite-agent and infinite-agent games, by studying how the optimal policies of agents evolve with the number of agents (population size) in mean-field games, an agent-centric perspective in contrast to the existing works focusing typically on the convergence of the empirical distribution of the population.

Offline Equilibrium Finding

1 code implementation12 Jul 2022 Shuxin Li, Xinrun Wang, Youzhi Zhang, Jakub Cerny, Pengdeng Li, Hau Chan, Bo An

Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our approach over offline RL algorithms and the importance of using model-based methods for OEF problems.

Multi-Robot Task Allocation -- Complexity and Approximation

no code implementations23 Mar 2021 Haris Aziz, Hau Chan, Ágnes Cseh, Bo Li, Fahimeh Ramezani, Chenhao Wang

Multi-robot task allocation is one of the most fundamental classes of problems in robotics and is crucial for various real-world robotic applications such as search, rescue and area exploration.

Maximizing approximately k-submodular functions

1 code implementation18 Jan 2021 Leqian Zheng, Hau Chan, Grigorios Loukides, Minming Li

Last, we demonstrate experimentally that the greedy algorithms are effective in sensor placement and influence maximization problems.

Adversarial Blocking Bandits

On the other hand, when B_T is not known, we show that the dynamic approximate regret of RGA-META is at most O((K+\tilde{D})^{1/4}\tilde{B}^{1/2}T^{3/4}) where \tilde{B} is the maximal path variation budget within each batch of RGA-META (which is provably in order of o(\sqrt{T}).

Facility Location Problem with Capacity Constraints: Algorithmic and Mechanism Design Perspectives

no code implementations22 Nov 2019 Haris Aziz, Hau Chan, Barton E. Lee, Bo Li, Toby Walsh

From the algorithmic perspective, we prove that the corresponding optimization problem, where the goal is to locate facilities to minimize either the total cost to all agents or the maximum cost of any agent is NP-hard.

The Capacity Constrained Facility Location problem

no code implementations4 Jun 2018 Haris Aziz, Hau Chan, Barton E. Lee, David C. Parkes

The capacity constrained setting leads to a new strategic environment where a facility serves a subset of the population, which is endogenously determined by the ex-post Nash equilibrium of an induced subgame and is not directly controlled by the mechanism designer.

Using Social Networks to Aid Homeless Shelters: Dynamic Influence Maximization under Uncertainty - An Extended Version

no code implementations30 Jan 2016 Amulya Yadav, Hau Chan, Albert Jiang, Haifeng Xu, Eric Rice, Milind Tambe

This paper presents HEALER, a software agent that recommends sequential intervention plans for use by homeless shelters, who organize these interventions to raise awareness about HIV among homeless youth.

Computing Nash Equilibria in Generalized Interdependent Security Games

no code implementations NeurIPS 2014 Hau Chan, Luis E. Ortiz

Like traditional IDS games, originally introduced by economists and risk-assessment experts Heal and Kunreuther about a decade ago, generalized IDS games model agents’ voluntary investment decisions when facing potential direct risk and transfer risk exposure from other agents.
