KDD 2023 Workshop on Multi-Armed Bandits and Reinforcement Learning (MARBLE), ICML 2023 Workshop on The Many Facets of Preference-based Learning2023Motivated by bid recommendation in online ad auctions, this paper considers a general class of multi-level and multi-agent games, with two major characteristics: one is a large number of anonymous agents, and the other is the intricate interplay between competition and cooperation. To model such complex systems, we propose a novel and tractable bi-objective optimization formulation with mean-field approximation
