Testbeds and the Real World. Breaking it Down. Closed Testbeds better for testing optimization methods and Open Testbeds the real world better for testing your model’s assumptions, especially value Opponent Modeling? Conceivable in both worlds. Closed Testbed Objectives.
E N D
Breaking it Down • Closed Testbeds • better for testing optimization methods • and Open Testbeds • the real world • better for testing your model’s assumptions, especially value • Opponent Modeling? • Conceivable in both worlds
Closed Testbed Objectives • Closed Testbeds should be: • Reproducible (if not statistically significant) • Have an objective • Hard enough (not solved the same year) • Low barriers of entry for multiagent researchers
Models for Solving Problems vs Competitions • Models for the real world it helps to solve optimally • Models for competitions should be more general
Human Models • Should we bring real world data into these competitions without conflicting with the strategic aspects of the problem (e.g. stock market data)? • Human players would be cool • Many players at once is hard to get • Mechanical Turk • Many players at once is hard to get • Even one human player makes a difference
Open Problems • Can we have competitions incorporate learning utilities? • Can modeling opponents really be handled in the real world?
Negative Aspects • Teaching terrorists • Teaching spammers
