Multi-agent Adaptive Mechanism Design

arXiv:2512.21794v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study a sequential mechanism design problem in which a principal seeks to elicit truthful reports from multiple rational agents while starting with no prior knowledge of agents’ beliefs. We introduce Distributionally Robust Adaptive Mechanism…

Automatic Self-supervised Learning for Social Recommendations

arXiv:2412.18735v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, researchers have leveraged social relations to enhance recommendation performance. However, most existing social recommendation methods require carefully designed auxiliary social tasks tailored to specific scenarios, which depend heavily on domain knowledge and…

Sim-to-Real Transfer for Muscle-Actuated Robots via Generalized Actuator Networks

arXiv:2604.09487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tendon drives paired with soft muscle actuation enable faster and safer robots while potentially accelerating skill acquisition. Still, these systems are rarely used in practice due to inherent nonlinearities, friction, and hysteresis, which complicate modeling…

Online Quantile Regression for Nonparametric Additive Models

arXiv:2604.08969v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces a projected functional gradient descent algorithm (P-FGD) for training nonparametric additive quantile regression models in online settings. This algorithm extends the functional stochastic gradient descent framework to the pinball loss. An advantage…
