Efficiency of non-truthful auctions in auto-bidding with budget constraints

C Liaw, A Mehta, W Zhu - Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We study the efficiency of non-truthful auctions for auto-bidders with both return on spend
(ROS) and budget constraints. The efficiency of a mechanism is measured by the price of …

Multi-platform budget management in ad markets with non-ic auctions

F Susan, N Golrezaei, O Schrijvers - arxiv preprint arxiv:2306.07352, 2023 - arxiv.org
In online advertising markets, budget-constrained advertisers acquire ad placements
through repeated bidding in auctions on various platforms. We present a strategy for bidding …

Multi-armed bandits with guaranteed revenue per arm

Abstract We consider a Multi-Armed Bandit problem with covering constraints, where the
primary goal is to ensure that each arm receives a minimum expected reward while …

A multi-channel advertising budget allocation using reinforcement learning and an improved differential evolution algorithm

M Li, J Zhang, R Alizadehsani, P Pławiak - IEEE Access, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Budget allocation across multiple advertising channels involves periodically dividing a fixed
total budget among various channels. Yet, the challenge of making sequential decisions to …

Non-uniform bid-scaling and equilibria for different auctions: An empirical study

Y Deng, J Mao, V Mirrokni, Y Teng, S Zuo - Proceedings of the ACM Web …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
In recent years, the growing adoption of autobidding has motivated the study of auction
design with value-maximizing auto-bidders. It is known that under mild assumptions, uniform …

Complex dynamics in autobidding systems

R Paes Leme, G Piliouras, J Schneider… - Proceedings of the 25th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
It has become the default in markets such as ad auctions for participants to bid in an auction
through automated bidding agents (autobidders) which adjust bids over time to satisfy return …

Bidding in Uniform Price Auctions for Value Maximizing Buyers

N Golrezaei, S Sahoo - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.03674, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of bidding in uniform price auctions widely used in practice. Although
these auctions are non-truthful for bidders with quasilinear utility functions, several empirical …
