Efficient Nash Equilibrium Computation for Cybersecurity Games
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.19399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computing Nash equilibria of simulation-based cybersecurity games with policy-space response oracles (PSRO) is bottlenecked by payoff estimation: every payoff-matrix entry costs Monte-Carlo rollouts of a slow simulator, while policies and restricted-game solves are cheap. We introduce Regret-Weighted Payoff Sampling (RWPS), a budgeted estimator that simulates only the cells an equilibrium is sensitive to and fills the rest with a surrogate trained on every entry simulated earlier in the run. The sup-norm error bound cannot evaluate such an esti
