In this paper we introduce novel algorithmic strategies for effciently playing two-player games in which the players have different or identical player roles. In the case of identical roles, the players compete for the same objective (that of winning the game). The case with different player roles assumes that one of the players asks questions in order to identify a secret pattern and the other one answers them. The purpose of the first player is to ask as few questions as possible (or that the questions and their number satisfy some previously known constraints) and the purpose of the secret player is to answer the questions in a way that will maximize the number of questions asked by the first player (or in a way which forces the first player to break the constraints of the game). We consider both previously known games (or extensions of theirs) and new types of games, introduced in this paper.
We study the computational complexity of the Buttons & Scissors game and obtain sharp thresholds with respect to several parameters. Specifically we show that the game is NP-complete for $C = 2$ colors but polytime solvable for $C = 1$. Similarly the
In recent years, constrained optimization has become increasingly relevant to the machine learning community, with applications including Neyman-Pearson classification, robust optimization, and fair machine learning. A natural approach to constrained
Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) is a branch of game theory that has developed almost independently from Economic Game Theory (EGT), and is concerned with deep mathematical properties of 2-player 0-sum games that are defined over various combinatorial
Designing an incentive compatible auction that maximizes expected revenue is a central problem in Auction Design. While theoretical approaches to the problem have hit some limits, a recent research direction initiated by Duetting et al. (2019) consis
Zero-sum games have long guided artificial intelligence research, since they possess both a rich strategy space of best-responses and a clear evaluation metric. Whats more, competition is a vital mechanism in many real-world multi-agent systems capab
