Robust mechanisms for information elicitation
2006
Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems - AAMAS '06
We propose designing elicitation mechanisms that will be robust to small changes in belief. ...
We study information elicitation mechanisms in which a principal agent attempts to elicit the private information of other agents using a carefully selected payment scheme based on proper scoring rules ...
Our Scenario In this paper, we explore mechanisms for information elicitation. ...

Mechanisms for information elicitation
2008
Artificial Intelligence
Each algorithm has a different set of cases for which it is most suitable. Finally, we examine elicitation mechanisms that elicit the confidence rating of the seller regarding its information. ...
We study the computational aspects of information elicitation mechanisms in which a principal attempts to elicit the private information of other agents using a carefully selected payment scheme based ...
Preliminary material from this paper appeared at the Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI'06), in the papers "Robust Mechanisms for Information Elicitation" [37] and "Mechanisms ...

Information Elicitation Meets Clustering
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
It is based on a new clustering method, Determinant MaxImization (DMI)-clustering, and a key conceptual idea that information elicitation without ground-truth can be seen as a clustering problem. ...
Here in the setting where a large number of people are asked to answer a small number of multi-choice questions (multi-task, large group), we propose an information aggregation method that is robust to ...
information elicitation mechanism that 1) aggregates information in a way that is robust to people's strategies when the number of agents is infinite, 2) reduces the payment variance in some scenarios ...

Eliciting Categorical Data for Optimal Aggregation
2016
Neural Information Processing Systems
In this paper, we develop a Bayesian model, wherein agents have differing quality of information, but also respond to incentives. ...
The former often leads to tractable aggregation of elicited data, while the latter usually focuses on optimal elicitation and does not consider aggregation. ...

Incentives for Federated Learning: a Hypothesis Elicitation Approach
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Our results build on the literature of information elicitation, but focus on the questions of eliciting hypothesis (rather than eliciting human predictions). ...
We study the market implementation, accuracy as well as robustness properties of our proposed solution too. We verify the effectiveness of our methods using MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. ...

Processing the Trees and the Forest during Initial Stages of Face Perception: Electrophysiological Evidence
2006
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
In contrast to a robust N170 effect elicited by line-drawn schematic faces compared to line-drawn schematic objects, no N170 effect was found if a pair of small objects substituted for the eyes in schematic ...
However, if a pair of two miniaturized faces substituted for the eyes, the N170 effect was restored. ...

A Robust Bayesian Truth Serum for Small Populations
2021
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
In this paper, we present a robust BTS for the elicitation of binary information which is incentive compatible for every n >= 3, taking advantage of a particularity of the quadratic scoring rule. ...
The robust BTS is the first peer prediction mechanism to provide strict incentive compatibility for every n >= 3 without relying on knowledge of the common prior. ...
Acknowledgments We thank Yiling Chen for early discussions on the Bayesian Truth Serum, and the anonymous reviewers for useful comments and feedback. This work is supported in part by NSF Grant No. ...

A Robust Bayesian Truth Serum for Non-Binary Signals
2013
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
The robust Bayesian truth serum (RBTS) for small populations and binary signals is particularly interesting since it does not require a common prior to be known to the mechanism. ...
Several mechanisms have been proposed for incentivizing truthful reports of a private signals owned by rational agents, among them the peer prediction method and the Bayesian truth serum. ...
