Abstract |
We have seen some remarkable new points of contact between Machine Learning and Algorithmic Game Theory over the past decade.
Here I will review the ways in which learning algorithms have been adapted as solution concepts, or employed as a crucial tool in Mechanism Design, ultimately dwelling on two current work s in which Mechanism Design is used to optimize data acquisition for Statistical Learning, and Stackelberg competitions are employed to model the classification of strategic points. |
