Learning Fair Division from Bandit Feedback
This work addresses learning online fair division under uncertainty, where a central planner sequentially allocates items without precise knowledge of agents' values or utilities. Departing from conventional online algorithm, the planner here relies on noisy, estimated values obtained after allocating items. We introduce wrapper algorithms utilizing \textit{dual averaging}, enabling gradual learning of both the type distribution of arriving items and agents' values through bandit feedback. This approach enables the algorithms to asymptotically achieve optimal Nash social welfare in linear Fisher markets with agents having additive utilities. We establish regret bounds in Nash social welfare and empirically validate the superior performance of our proposed algorithms across synthetic and empirical datasets.
