Our technique combines (i.) an active-set step that enforces that the agents play at a Nash equilibrium and (ii.) an implicit-differentiation step to update the estimates of the rationality parameters. We detail the convergence properties of our algorithm and perform numerical experiments on Cournot and congestion games, showing that our algorithm effectively finds high-quality solutions (in terms of out-of-sample loss) and scales to large datasets.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.11188v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.11188v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"learning-rationality-in-potential-games","repo_url":"https://github.com/stellatogrp/learning_rationality_in_potential_games","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
