- 요약Decision-making in adversarial environments is a critical challenge across various domains where agents must navigate uncertainty, competition, and potentially hostile conditions.In such settings, the ability to predict future outcomes plays a pivotal role in guiding decisions. However, predictions are rarely perfect, especially in adversarial environments where opposing forces might actively seek to disrupt or exploit weaknesses in an agent's strategy. The central challenge lies in ensuring safety---defined as avoiding catastrophic outcomes---despite the inherent imperfections in predictive models. This thesis addresses this dual objective of leveraging predictions to make informed decisions while simultaneously guaranteeing safety, even in the most adverse scenarios. The potential applications of safe sequential decision-making in adversarial environments are vast and span multiple domains. For instance, in robotics, autonomous agents operating in dynamic environments must avoid collisions or irreversible errors, even when interacting with other potentially hostile agents. Similarly, in finance, automated trading algorithms must operate in markets that are impacted by unpredictable events and the actions of other agents. This thesis contributes to these fields by developing algorithms for sequential decision-making providing theoretical guarantees for computationally efficient and practical algorithms.Chapter 1 will present some background and concepts that are used and referred to in the thesis. In particular, we introduce conformal prediction and online convex optimization.Chapter 2 introduces a new framework called Conformal Decision Theory.Drawing inspiration from online conformal prediction techniques, our approach offers a remarkably simple but powerful mechanism for guaranteeing long-term safety with minimal environmental constraints, contingent only on the existence of a safe decision.Chapter 3 provides an alternative approach that leverages the pre-existing online convex optimization framework with adversarial constraints, and shows how the existing guarantees can be significantly improved when using predictions. Importantly, even when the predictions are inaccurate, our approach still maintains guarantees that are on par with existing work.
