This paper presents an innovative method to convert any machine learning algorithm into an interactive protocol that enables collaboration with humans to achieve consensus on predictions and improve accuracy. The approach reduces the complexity of machine learning models by imposing calibration conditions on each party, which are statistically tractable relaxations of Bayesian rationality. This significant generalization of Aumann’s classic “agreement theorem” has far-reaching implications for various applications.

Imagine being able to work together with a friend or expert to make predictions and improve their accuracy. This paper shows how to take any machine learning algorithm and turn it into an interactive game where you can collaborate with someone else. The goal is to agree on the best prediction, which makes the result more accurate. This technique is important because it helps us understand how people work together when they don’t have all the information.
