New framework uses Fisher markets for fractional credit assignment

Researchers have introduced "Attribution Markets," a novel framework for assigning fractional credit between planned tasks and actual actions. This system models planned tasks as budget-constrained buyers and performed actions as divisible goods within a Fisher market. The approach aims to resolve discrepancies between planning records and logged activities, offering a more nuanced credit assignment than traditional all-or-nothing methods. The framework includes mechanisms for seller reserve prices and buyer cash options to ensure budget caps and filter out irrelevant data, with theoretical guarantees for conservation and junk filtering. Empirical validation on various instances, including adversarial ones, demonstrated the market's sensitivity to noise, leading to a generalized model that unifies Fisher markets with entropy-regularized optimal transport.
