Scaling-up Security Games with Boundedly Rational Adversaries: A Cutting-plane Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
To improve the current real-world deployments of Stackelberg security games (SSGs), it is critical now to efficiently incorporate models of adversary bounded rationality in large-scale SSGs. Unfortunately, previously proposed branch-and-price approaches fail to scale-up given the non-convexity of such models, as we show with a realization called COCOMO. Therefore, we next present a novel cutting-plane algorithm called BLADE to scale-up SSGs with complex adversary models,with three key novelties: (i) an efficient scalable separation oracle to generate deep cuts; (ii) a heuristic that uses gradient to further improve the cuts; (iii) techniques for quality-efficiency tradeoff.

Addressing Scalability and Robustness in Security Games with Multiple Boundedly Rational Adversaries
Boundedly rational human adversaries pose a serious challenge to security because they deviate from the classical assumption of perfect rationality. An emerging trend in security game research addresses this challenge by using behavioral models such as quantal response (QR) and subjective utility quantal response (SUQR). These models improve the quality of the defender’s strategy by more accura...
متن کاملDivide to Defend: Collusive Security Games
Research on security games has focused on settings where the defender must protect against either a single adversary or multiple, independent adversaries. However, there are a variety of real-world security domains where adversaries may benefit from colluding in their actions against the defender, e.g., wildlife poaching, urban crime and drug trafficking. Given such adversary collusion may be m...
متن کاملMonotonic Maximin: A Robust Stackelberg Solution against Boundedly Rational Followers
There has been recent interest in applying Stackelberg games to infrastructure security, in which a defender must protect targets from attack by an adaptive adversary. In real-world security settings the adversaries are humans and are thus boundedly rational. Most existing approaches for computing defender strategies against boundedly rational adversaries try to optimize against specific behavi...
متن کاملToward Addressing Collusion Among Human Adversaries in Security Games
Security agencies including the US Coast Guard, the Federal Air Marshal Service and the Los Angeles Airport police are several major domains that have been deploying Stackelberg security games and related algorithms to protect against a single adversary or multiple, independent adversaries strategically. However, there are a variety of real-world security domains where adversaries may benefit f...
متن کاملThe Power of Modeling Human Adversary Behaviors in Security Games
Recent deployments of Stackelberg security games (SSG) have led to two competing approaches to handle boundedly rational human adversaries: (1) integrating models of human (adversary) decision-making into the gametheoretic algorithms, and (2) applying robust optimization techniques that avoid adversary modeling. A recent algorithm (MATCH) based on the second approach was shown to outperform the...
