Negotiation game to introduce non-linear utility
James Hale, Harsh Jalan, Nidhi Saini, Shao Ling Tan, Junhyuck Woo, Jonathan S. Gratch · 2022
Much prior work in automated negotiation makes the simplifying assumption of linear utility functions. As such, we propose a framework for multilateral repeated negotiations in a complex game setting---to introduce non-linearities---where negotiators can choose with whom they negotiate in subsequent games. This game setting not only creates non-linear utility functions, but also motivates the negotiation.
