Approximation is the new optimal

Hosted by the Department of Mathematics
In-person and online public event (Auditorium, Centre Building)
Monday 15 Apr 2024 6.30pm - 8pm

The internet has become a huge computational platform for many heterogeneous, complex markets. These complex markets require the design of fast algorithms that take into account the economic, game theoretic, and computational considerations in a unified way.

In this talk, Michal Feldman will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities that arise in this domain, through the lens of approximation.
