Behavior of Multi-Agent Protocols Using Quantum Entanglement (2008)

Kay-yut Chen, Tad Hogg, Bernardo A. Huberman

We describe how entangled quantum states can aid in coordination, cooperation and resource allocation in multi-agent systems. These protocols provide alternatives to conventional methods, with...

Experimental Evaluation of an eBay-Style Self-Reporting Reputation Mechanism (2008)

Kay-yut Chen, Tad Hogg

Abstract. We experimentally studied the effects of a eBay-style selfreporting reputation mechanism in an double-sided exchange economy in which participants have the option of not fulfilling their...

Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (2007)

Kay-yut Chen, Tad Hogg, Nathan Wozny

We experimentally evaluate reputation mechanisms in an exchange market in which participants have the option of not fulfilling their contracts. These mechanisms vary in the information they provide...

Durable Goods Lease Contracts and Used-Goods Market Behavior: An Experimental Study (2007)

Kay-yut Chen, Suzhou Huang

Leasing has become an increasingly prominent way for consumers to acquire durable goods such as automobiles. How markets respond to changes in lease contracts has enormous implications to producers...

Algorithms, Economics (2007)

Alan H. Karp, Kay-yut Chen

Chess playing programs running on small computers, such as PocketPCs, can beat most human players. This paper reports a feasibility study to determine if the techniques programs use to play chess can...

Categories and Subject Descriptors J.4 [Computer Applications]: SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES General Terms (2007)

Kay-yut Chen

We experimentally compare low-information, high-information and self-reporting reputation mechanisms. The results indicate players strategically reacted to the reputation mechanisms, with higher...

Experiments with Probabilistic Quantum Auctions (2007)

Chen, Kay-Yut, Hogg, Tad

We describe human-subject laboratory experiments on probabilistic auctions based on previously proposed auction protocols involving the simulated manipulation and communication of quantum states....

Quantum Auctions (2007)

Hogg, Tad, Harsha, Pavithra, Chen, Kay-Yut

We present a quantum auction protocol using superpositions to represent bids and distributed search to identify the winner(s). Measuring the final quantum state gives the auction outcome while...

How Well Do People Play a Quantum Prisoner’s Dilemma (2006)

Kay-yut Chen, Tad Hogg

Game theory suggests quantum information processing technologies could provide useful new economic mechanisms. For example, using shared entangled quantum states can alter incentives so as to reduce...

The Ultimatum Conundrum (2004)

Alan Karp, Alan H. Karp, Kay-Yut Chen, Kay-yut Chen, Ren Wu, Ren Wu

playing computer programs to the problem of negotiating good deals. In every test case, this strategy recommends making an ultimatum. On examining the protocol, we found that it is equivalent to a...

A Practical Quantum Mechanism for the Public Goods Game (2003)

Chen, Kay-Yut, Hogg, Tad, Beausoleil, Raymond

Quantum generalizations of conventional games broaden the range of available strategies, which can help improve outcomes for the participants. With many players, such quantum games can involve...

A game tree strategy for automated negotiation (2003)

Alan H. Karp, Alan H. Karp, Ren Wu, Ren Wu, Kay-yut Chen, Kay-yut Chen, ...

web services, automated negotiation We present a strategy for automatic negotiation that takes the same approach as computer programs that play games such as chess; we build the game tree. For every...

Eliminating public knowledge biases in information-aggregation mechanisms (2003)

Kay-yut Chen, Leslie R. Fine, Bernardo A. Huberman

We present a novel methodology for identifying public knowledge and eliminating the biases it creates when aggregating information in small group settings. A two-stage mechanism consisting of an...

AutONA: A System for Automated Multiple 1-1 Negotiation (2003)

Andrew Byde, Kay-Yut Chen, Claudio Bartolini, Mike Yearworth, Mike Yearworth

this paper we have presented a system, AutONA, for conducting multiple simultaneous 1-1 negotiations over price and quantity. The use of competition between sellers to guide negotiation tactics is key

Computer Games And Economics Experiments (2003)

Kay-yut Chen, Ren Wu

HP Labs has developed a software platform, called MUMS, for moderating economics games between human and/or robot participants. The primary feature of this platform is a flexible scripting language...

A game tree strategy for automated negotiation (2003)

Alan H. Karp, Kay-yut Chen

We present a strategy for automatic negotiation that takes the same approach as computer programs that play games such as chess; we build the game tree. For every offer we look at every counteroffer,...

Eliminating Public Knowledge Biases in Small Group Predictions (2002)

Chen, Kay-Yut, Fine, Leslie R., Huberman, Bernardo A.

We present a novel methodology for identifying public knowledge and eliminating the biases it creates when aggregating information in small group settings. A two stage mechanism consisting of an...
