Problems of traditional reward systems
Spot-checking: check the answer with some probability.
• The elicited information is unverifiable!
Agreements based reward: pay Alice one dollar if she is in the majority
(Majority vote). When there are only two participants, pay Alice and Bob
based on the number of agreements. However, it
• discourages minority
• encourages uninformative feedbacks

This work
A novel reward system that is
• strategy-proof: truth-telling pays Alice higher than any other
strategy in expectation, regardless of other people’s behaviors; and
strictly higher than less “informative” strategies in expectation, with
mild conditions.
• prior-independent: does not need any prior knowledge;
• practical: only needs 2C∗ tasks.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first strategy-proof reward
system that only needs finite number of tasks, not to say a small
constant number of tasks
∗Each task is a multi-choice question and C is the number of choices. For example,
C = 2 in our running example.

Strategy
Definition: Strategy
We define Alice’s strategy for each task t as a C × C transition matrix
StA where St
A(x tA, x̂tA) is the probability that Alice reports x̂ tA given that
she receives private signal x tA.
The profile of Alice and Bob’s strategies is called strategy profile.

Main theorem
Main theorem
When T1,T2 ≥ C , DMI-mechanism is dominantly truthful,
prior-independent and works for ≥ 2C tasks and ≥ 2 participants.
22
![Page 32: Dominantly truthful multi-task peer prediction mechanism ......We de ne Alice’s strategy for each task t as a C C transition matrix S t A where S A (x t A;x^ A) is the probability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070112/6054cdb61829202b4d5df234/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The core of DMI-Mechanism
For two random variables X ,Y which have the same support C,
Joint distribution matrix
UX ,Y (x , y) = Pr[X = x ,Y = y ].
Determinant based Mutual Information (DMI)
DMI(X ;Y ) = | det(UX ,Y )|.
Like Shannon’s mutual information, DMI is information-monotone.
Ideally, to get strategy-proof, we want the expected payment to be the
DMI between Alice’s report and Bob’s report.
However, the “absolute” symbol is a problem. Thus, we design the
system such that the expected payment is DMI’s square to remove the
“absolute” symbol. That’s why we divide the questions into two sets.
23
![Page 33: Dominantly truthful multi-task peer prediction mechanism ......We de ne Alice’s strategy for each task t as a C C transition matrix S t A where S A (x t A;x^ A) is the probability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070112/6054cdb61829202b4d5df234/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Proof sketch
• Step 1: DMI is information-monotone
• DMI(X ′;Y ) ≤ DMI(X ;Y )‡
• DMI is also symmetric, non-negative, and bounded.
• Step 2: The expected payment is the square of the DMI between
Alice’s report and Bob’s report:
EpA = EpB ∝ DMI(X̂A; X̂B)2§
• E detM1,E detM2 ∝ det(UX̂A;X̂B)
• EpA = EpB = E detM1 detM2 = ¶E detM1E detM2 =
DMI(X̂A; X̂B)2
‡X ′ is independent of Y conditioning X .§X̂A, X̂B : Alice and Bob’s actual reviews for a random task.¶This equality is valid since M1 and M2 are independent.

DMI is information-monotone
Proof.When X ′ is independent of Y conditioning X ,
UX ′,Y (x ′, y) = Pr[X ′ = x ′,Y = y ] =∑x
Pr[X ′ = x ′|X = x ] Pr[X = x ,Y = y ].
Thus, UX ′,Y = UX ′|XUX ,Y .
DMI(X ′;Y ) =| det(UX ′,Y )|=| det(UX ′|XUX ,Y )| (UX ′,Y = UX ′|XUX ,Y )
=DMI(X ;Y )| det(UX ′|X )| (det(AB) = det(A) det(B))
≤DMI(X ;Y )

Information evaluation without verification
Additionally, this work also proposes a novel scoring rule that
• identifies high-quality information without verification;
• only needs ≥ 3 participants
Score every participant via the sum of the DMI between her report and
other participants’ reports
See the full paper for more properties of this evaluation rule.

Conclusion and future work
A novel reward system that is
• dominantly truthful
• prior-independent
• practical
Future work
• real-world experiments
• full characterization of all strategy-proof mechanisms
• relaxing i.i.d. assumption
