SUMMARY:Liverpool Distinguished Computer Science Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Professor Michael Wellman: Empirical Game-Theoretic Analysis for Canonical Auction Games\n\nSome canonical auction scenarios -- involving simultaneous markets or dynamic trading, for example -- are descriptively simple yet resist analytical game-theoretic solution. We gain traction on such problems by combining simulation, search, and machine learning with game-theoretic reasoning, in an approach we call "empirical game-theoretic analysis". EGTA studies have produced strategic insights and improved strategies for simultaneous ascending auctions and continuous double auctions, as well as the more complex domains presented by a series of Trading Agent Competition events. Our most recent investigation, of simultaneous one-shot auctions, demonstrates the utility of EGTA for suggesting and evaluating theoretical characterizations of equilibrium bidding strategies.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=937
