分类器如何引导智能体策略性地投入努力?

How Do Classifiers Induce Agents To Invest Effort Strategically?

摘要:

算法通常用于产生对个体进行分类或评估的决策规则。当这些人有动机以某种方式被分类时,他们可能会采取策略性的行为来影响他们的结果。我们开发了一个模型,战略代理可以投资的努力,以改变他们收到的结果,我们给出了一个严格的表征时,这样的代理可以激励投资指定形式的努力,以改善他们的结果,而不是“游戏”的分类器。我们表明,只要任何“合理”的机制可以这样做,一个简单的线性机制就足够了。

英文摘要:

Algorithms are often used to produce decision-making rules that classify or evaluate individuals. When these individuals have incentives to be classified a certain way, they may behave strategically to influence their outcomes. We develop a model for how strategic agents can invest effort in order to change the outcomes they receive, and we give a tight characterization of when such agents can be incentivized to invest specified forms of effort into improving their outcomes as opposed to "gaming" the classifier. We show that whenever any "reasonable" mechanism can do so, a simple linear mechanism suffices.
