NFL Agent Reveals Bad News For Cowboys In Dak Prescott Talks
The Detroit Lions just signed quarterback Jared Goff to a massive four-year, $212 million extension, and an NFL agent thinks that is a bad sign for the Dallas Cowboys in their contract negotiations with Dak Prescott. “Each day that passes, Dak’s price goes up,” the agent said, via Matt Lombardo of Heavy.com. An anonymous NFL general manager also agreed that Prescott has gained considerable leverage. “Goff’s contract puts Dallas in a tough spot,” the general manager told Heavy. Presc…

Persuading a Learning Agent
We study a repeated Bayesian persuasion problem (and more generally, any generalized principal-agent problem with complete information) where the principal does not have commitment power and the agent uses algorithms to learn to respond to the principal's signals. We reduce this problem to a one-shot generalized principal-agent problem with an approximately-best-responding agent. This reduction allows us to show that: if the agent uses contextual no-regret learning algorithms, then the principa…

A Dynamic Principal Agent Problem with One-sided Commitment
In this paper we consider a principal agent problem where the agent is allowed to quit, by incurring a cost. When the current agent quits the job, the principal will hire a new one, possibly with a different type. We characterize the principal's dynamic value function, which could be discontinuous at the boundary, as the (unique) minimal solution of an infinite dimensional system of HJB equations, parametrized by the agent's type. This dynamic problem is time consistent in certain sense. Some…

Hierarchical Fault-Tolerant Coverage Control for an Autonomous Aerial Agent
Fault-tolerant coverage control involves determining a trajectory that enables an autonomous agent to cover specific points of interest, even in the presence of actuation and/or sensing faults. In this work, the agent encounters control inputs that are erroneous; specifically, its nominal controls inputs are perturbed by stochastic disturbances, potentially disrupting its intended operation. Existing techniques have focused on deterministically bounded disturbances or relied on the assumption o…

In this paper, we aim to develop a conceptual framework of the actions and intents of users and agents explaining how these actions enable the user to explore the search space and resolve their information need.

Free agent fallout: Look who's leaving the NFC East
In the approximate words of legendary sports writer Grantland Rice, “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.” He obviously knew nothing about NFL free agency.

These days, losing talented players can make or break an NFL franchise. Here’s a look at players leaving their NFC East teams: Dallas Cowboys Key losses: …

We study the principal-agent setting, where a principal delegates the execution of a costly project to an agent. In the classical model, the agent chooses an action among a set of available actions. Every action is associated with some cost, and leads to a stochastic outcome for the project. The agent's action is hidden from the principal, who only observes the outcome. The principal incentivizes the agent through a payment scheme (a contract) that maps outcomes to payments, with the objective …

Kernel-based learning with guarantees for multi-agent applications
This paper addresses a kernel-based learning problem for a network of agents locally observing a latent multidimensional, nonlinear phenomenon in a noisy environment. We propose a learning algorithm that requires only mild a priori knowledge about the phenomenon under investigation and delivers a model with corresponding non-asymptotic high probability error bounds. Both non-asymptotic analysis of the method and numerical simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper.

Cowboys insider provides Ezekiel Elliott update as running back free agent options run out
The Dallas Cowboys are "seeking" a running back during the 2024 NFL free agency frenzy.  I use the quotation marks above because the front office's definition of seeking is reportedly looking for players under the $4 million price tag and receiving calls from free agents instead of making them.  In other words, the Cowboys are likely just interested in guys that'll come in and sign for minimum salary-type deals.  On Wednesday, reports emerged former Green Bay Packers RB A.J. Dillon looking i…

GOV-REK: Governed Reward Engineering Kernels for Designing Robust Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Systems
For multi-agent reinforcement learning systems (MARLS), the problem formulation generally involves investing massive reward engineering effort specific to a given problem. However, this effort often cannot be translated to other problems; worse, it gets wasted when system dynamics change drastically. This problem is further exacerbated in sparse reward scenarios, where a meaningful heuristic can assist in the policy convergence task. We propose GOVerned Reward Engineering Kernels (GOV-REK), whi…

Cowboys’ Exec Defends Team Not Spending In Free Agency https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/cowboys_exec_defends_team_not_spending_in_free_agency/s1_17150_40111213

Cowboys’ Exec Defends Team Not Spending In Free Agency
Earlier this offseason, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team would be “all in” heading into 2024. Well, with the bulk of free agency pretty much done, the Cowboys certainly don’t seem to be all in. Dallas has made just two signings during this free-agent period. It re-signed long snapper Trent Sieg, and it landed linebacker Eric Kendricks. That has been the extent of the Cowboys’ free-agent activity thus far. Dallas executive vice president Stephen Jones, however, defended Dal…

The Steelers still have a good bit of needs, and Omar Khan has shown he's not scared to make a splash. They have saved a lot of money with their quarterback situation and can spend elsewhere to build out the m…

It’s a three-year, $24 million deal, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Pollard is a dual-threat running back who adds versatility as a pass catcher — something the Cincinnati Ben…

Veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore remains a free agent and he is not necessarily guaranteeing he will land with a new team for the 2024 season.

If he does not get it, he suggested he is happy to remain on the sidelines and watch his son play. “I’m still focused on playing, but it has to be the right opportunity,” Gilmore said. “I feel like it’s the age…
