Explainable reinforcement learning: A survey and comparative review

S Milani, N Topin, M Veloso, F Fang - ACM Computing Surveys, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Explainable reinforcement learning (XRL) is an emerging subfield of explainable machine
learning that has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The goal of XRL is to …

Encoding human behavior in information design through deep learning

G Yu, W Tang, S Narayanan… - Advances in neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We initiate the study of $\textit {behavioral information design} $ through deep learning. In
information design, a $\textit {sender} $ aims to persuade a $\textit {receiver} $ to take certain …

Strategic apple tasting

K Harris, C Podimata, SZ Wu - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Algorithmic decision-making in high-stakes domains often involves assigning decisions to
agents with incentives to strategically modify their input to the algorithm. In addition to …

Contextual dynamic pricing with strategic buyers

P Liu, Z Yang, Z Wang, WW Sun - Journal of the American …, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Personalized pricing, which involves tailoring prices based on individual characteristics, is
commonly used by firms to implement a consumer-specific pricing policy. In this process …

Prediction without Preclusion: Recourse Verification with Reachable Sets

A Kothari, B Kulynych, TW Weng, B Ustun - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Machine learning models are often used to decide who will receive a loan, a job interview,
or a public benefit. Standard techniques to build these models use features about people but …

The double-edged sword of behavioral responses in strategic classification: Theory and user studies

R Ebrahimi, K Vaccaro, P Naghizadeh - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.18066, 2024 - arxiv.org
When humans are subject to an algorithmic decision system, they can strategically adjust
their behavior accordingly (``game''the system). While a growing line of literature on strategic …

Strategyproof decision-making in panel data settings and beyond

K Harris, A Agarwal, C Podimata, ZS Wu - ACM SIGMETRICS …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of decision-making using panel data, in which a decision-maker
gets noisy, repeated measurements of multiple units (or agents). We consider the setup …

Strategic Learning with Local Explanations as Feedback

KQH Vo, SL Chau, M Kato, Y Wang… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
We investigate algorithmic decision problems where agents can respond strategically to the
decision maker's (DM) models. The demand for clear and actionable explanations from DMs …

Bayesian Strategic Classification

L Cohen, S Sharifi-Malvajerdi, K Stangl… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In strategic classification, agents modify their features, at a cost, to ideally obtain a positive
classification from the learner's classifier. The typical response of the learner is to carefully …

Personalized Path Recourse

D Hong, T Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2312.08724, 2023 - arxiv.org
This paper introduces Personalized Path Recourse, a novel method that generates recourse
paths for an agent. The objective is to achieve desired goals (eg, better outcomes compared …
