Learning in Matrix Games can be Arbitrarily Complex

Andrade, Gabriel P., Frongillo, Rafael, Piliouras, Georgios

Understand

A growing number of machine learning architectures, such as Generative Adversarial Networks, rely on the design of games which implement a desired functionality via a Nash equilibrium.

  • In practice these games have an implicit complexity (e.g.
  • from underlying datasets and the deep networks used) that makes directly computing a Nash equilibrium impractical or impossible.
  • For this reason, numerous learning algorithms have been developed with the goal of iteratively converging to a Nash equilibrium.
