The Design and Organization of Educational Competitions with Anonymous and Real-Time Leaderboards in Academic and Industrial Settings
The goal of this paper is to share our experience in designing and organizing educational competitions with anonymous and (near) real-time leaderboards in both academic and industrial settings. While such competitions serve as a great educational tool and provide participants with hands-on experience, they require significant planning, technical setup, and administration from organizers. In this paper, we first outline several important areas including team registration, data access, submission…

A Comparison of SynDiffix Multi-table versus Single-table Synthetic Data
SynDiffix is a new open-source tool for structured data synthesis. It has anonymization features that allow it to generate multiple synthetic tables while maintaining strong anonymity. Compared to the more common single-table approach, multi-table leads to more accurate data, since only the features of interest for a given analysis need be synthesized. This paper compares SynDiffix with 15 other commercial and academic synthetic data techniques using the SDNIST analysis framework, modified by u…

Community Enforcement with Endogenous Records
I study repeated games with anonymous random matching where players can erase signals from their records. When players are sufficiently long-lived and have strictly dominant actions, they will play their dominant actions with probability close to one in all equilibria. When players' expected lifespans are intermediate, there exist purifiable equilibria with a positive level of cooperation in the submodular prisoner's dilemma but not in the supermodular prisoner's dilemma. Therefore, the maximal…
