The Price of Competitive Information Disclosure
Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing · June 9, 2026 In many decision-making scenarios, individuals strategically choose what information to disclose to optimize their own outcomes. It is unclear whether such strategic information disclosure can lead to good societal outcomes. To address this question, we co ... Full text CiteFair Multi-Agent Persuasion with Submodular Constraints
Conference Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics Lipics · June 1, 2026 We study the problem of selection in the context of Bayesian persuasion. We are given multiple agents with hidden values (or quality scores), to whom resources must be allocated by a welfare-maximizing decision-maker. An intermediary with knowledge of the ... Full text CiteBalanced Spanning Tree Distributions Have Separation Fairness
Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms · January 1, 2026 Sampling-based methods such as ReCom are widely used to audit redistricting plans for fairness, with the balanced spanning tree distribution playing a central role since it favors compact, contiguous, and population-balanced districts. However, whether suc ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
