Fair item allocation

Efficient approximately-fair item allocation

When allocating objects among people with different preferences, two major goals are Pareto efficiency and fairness. Since the objects are indivisible, there may not exist any fair allocation. For example, when there is a single house and two people, every allocation of the house will be unfair to one person. Therefore, several common approximations have been studied, such as maximin-share fairness (MMS), envy-freeness up to one item (EF1), proportionality up to one item (PROP1), and equitability up to one item (EQ1). The problem of efficient approximately-fair item allocation is to find an allocation that is both Pareto-efficient (PE) and satisfies one of these fairness notions. The problem was first presented at 2016 and has attracted considerable attention since then. (Wikipedia).

Christos Kalaitzis: Approximating the Maximum Budgeted Allocation Problem using the Configuration LP

The Maximum Budgeted Allocation Problem is the problem of assigning indivisible items to agents, which have budget constraints, in order to maximize our total revenue. While the natural Assignment-LP for this problem is well-understood, and has an integrality gap of 3/4, the same is not tr

Evaluation 3: effectiveness vs. efficiency

Search engines must be effective and efficient. An "effective" engine returns the results that are useful to its users (relevant results). An "efficient" engine responds to request quickly and does not require unrealistic computing resources. In this lecture we discuss how to measure both

Intractability in Algorithmic Game Theory - Tim Roughgarden

Tim Roughgarden Stanford University March 11, 2013 We discuss three areas of algorithmic game theory that have grappled with intractability. The first is the complexity of computing game-theoretic equilibria, like Nash equilibria. There is an urgent need for new ideas on this topic, to ena

Hardness of Randomized Truthful Mechanisms for Combinatorial Auctions - Jan Vondrak

Jan Vondrak IBM Almaden March 26, 2012 The problem of combinatorial auctions is one of the basic questions in algorithmic mechanism design: how can we allocate/sell m items to n agents with private valuations of different combinations of items, so that the agents are motivated to reveal th
