Optimization with non-differentiable constraints with applications to fairness, recall, churn, and other goals

A Cotter, H Jiang, M Gupta, S Wang, T Narayan… - Journal of Machine …, 2019 - jmlr.org
We show that many machine learning goals can be expressed as “rate constraints” on a
model's predictions. We study the problem of training non-convex models subject to these …

Training well-generalizing classifiers for fairness metrics and other data-dependent constraints

A Cotter, M Gupta, H Jiang, N Srebro… - International …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
Classifiers can be trained with data-dependent constraints to satisfy fairness goals, reduce
churn, achieve a targeted false positive rate, or other policy goals. We study the …

Is learning in games good for the learners?

W Brown, J Schneider… - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider a number of questions related to tradeoffs between reward and regret in
repeated gameplay between two agents. To facilitate this, we introduce a notion of …

G Farina, CW Lee, H Luo… - … Conference on Machine …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
While extensive-form games (EFGs) can be converted into normal-form games (NFGs),
doing so comes at the cost of an exponential blowup of the strategy space. So, progress on …
