Optimal Aggregator

Optimal aggregators aim to combine multiple data sources or predictions to produce a superior result, addressing challenges in distributed learning, decision-making, and forecast combination. Current research focuses on developing robust aggregators resilient to malicious attacks (e.g., label poisoning) and employing techniques like mean-field games, reinforcement learning, and clustering algorithms to optimize aggregation strategies under various information structures and resource constraints. These advancements are crucial for improving the efficiency and reliability of distributed systems, enhancing the accuracy of forecasts, and enabling secure and privacy-preserving collaborative learning.
