Black-Box Reductions in Mechanism Design
A central question in algorithmic mechanism design is to understand the additional difficulty introduced by truthfulness requirements in the design of approximation algorithms for social welfare maximization. In this paper, by studying the problem of single-parameter combinatorial auctions, we obtain the first black-box reduction that converts any approximation algorithm to a truthful mechanism...
متن کاملBlack-box reductions for cost-sharing mechanism design
We consider the design of strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms. We give two simple, but extremely versatile, black-box reductions, that in combination reduce the cost-sharing mechanism-design problem to the algorithmic problem of finding a minimum-cost solution for a set of players. Our first reduction shows that any truthful, α-approximation mechanism for the socialcost minimization (SCM) pro...
متن کاملBlack-Box Reductions and Separations in Cryptography
Cryptographic constructions of one primitive or protocol from another one usually come with a reductionist security proof, in the sense that the reduction turns any adversary breaking the derived scheme into a successful adversary against the underlying scheme. Very often the reduction is black-box in the sense that it only looks at the input/output behavior of the adversary and of the underlyi...
متن کاملNotions of Black-Box Reductions, Revisited
Reductions are the common technique to prove security of cryptographic constructions based on a primitive. They take an allegedly successful adversary against the construction and turn it into a successful adversary against the underlying primitive. To a large extent, these reductions are black-box in the sense that they consider the primitive and/or the adversary against the construction only ...
متن کاملOptimal Black-Box Reductions Between Optimization Objectives
The diverse world of machine learning applications has given rise to a plethora of algorithms and optimization methods, finely tuned to the specific regression or classification task at hand. We reduce the complexity of algorithm design for machine learning by reductions: we develop reductions that take a method developed for one setting and apply it to the entire spectrum of smoothness and str...
