We study the hidden-action principal-agent contract design problem in an online setting. In each round, the principal posts a contract that specifies the payment to the agent based on each outcome. The agent then makes a strategic choice of action that maximizes her own utility, but the action is not directly observable by the principal. The principal observes the outcome and receives utility from the agent’s choice of action. Based on past observations, the principal dynamically adjusts the contracts with the goal of maximizing her utility. We treat this problem as a continuum-armed bandit problem, where we think of each potential contract as an arm. We introduce an online learning algorithm and provide an upper bound on its Stackelberg regret. In particular, we show that when the contract space is [0, 1]m, the Stackelberg regret is upper bounded by Oe(√m · T1−1/(2m+1)), and lower bounded by Ω(T1−1/(m+2)), where Oe omits logarithmic factors. This result shows that exponential-in-m samples are both sufficient and necessary to learn a near-optimal contract, resolving an open problem in Ho et al. [2016] on the hardness of online contract design. Moreover, when contracts are restricted to some subset F ⊂ [0, 1]m, we define an intrinsic dimension of F that depends on the covering number of the spherical code in the space and bound the regret in terms of this intrinsic dimension. When F is the family of linear contracts, we show that the Stackelberg regret grows exactly as Θ(T2/3). Technically, the contract design problem is challenging because the utility function is discontinuous. Indeed, bounding the discretization error in this setting has been an open problem [Ho et al., 2016]. In this paper, we identify a limited set of directions in which the utility function is continuous, allowing us to design a new discretization method and bound its error. This approach enables the first upper bound with no restrictions on the contract and action space. The techniques we intro
Pretrained language models often do not perform tasks in ways that are in line with our preferences, e.g., generating offensive text or factually incorrect summaries. Recent work approaches the above issue by learning...

This study aims to explore the associations between near-crash events and road geometry and trip features by investigating a naturalistic driving dataset and a corresponding roadway inventory dataset using an association rule mining method - the Apriori algorithm. To provide more insights into near-crash behavior, this study classified near-crash events into two severity levels: trivial near-crash events (-7.5 g ≤ deceleration rate ≤ -4.5 g) and non-trivial near-crash events (≤ -7.5 g). Each category for all variables is considered an item, and a set of items is considered an itemset. From the perspective of descriptive statistics, the frequency of the itemsets generated by the Apriori algorithm suggests that near-crash events are highly associated with several factors, including roadways without access control, driving during non-peak hours, roadways without a shoulder or a median, roadways with the minor arterial functional class, and roadways with a speed limit between 30 and 60 mph. By comparing the frequency of the occurrence of the itemset during trivial and non-trivial near-crash events, the results indicate that the length of the trip is a strong indicator of the near-crash event type. The results show that non-trivial near-crash events are more likely to occur if the trip is longer than 2 hours. After applying the association rule mining algorithm, more interesting patterns for the two near-crash events were generated through the rules. The main findings include: 1) trivial near-crash events are more likely to occur on roadways without a median and shoulder that have a relatively lower functional class;2) relatively higher functional roadways with relatively wide medians and shoulders could be an intriguing combination for non-trivial near-crash events;3) non-trivial near-crash events often occur on long trips (more than 2 hours);4) congestion on roadways that have a lower functional class is a dominant rule of non-trivial near-crash events.
