Computational Social Choice
Tuesday morning, 17th August, 2010, Room 6.2.53
Social choice theory deals with questions regarding the design and analysis of methods for collective decision making. Examples for such methods include voting procedures and protocols for fairly dividing a set of goods amongst the members of a group. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the computational aspects of collective decision making, giving rise to the field of computational social choice. This tutorial will give an overview of this new field, highlighting contributions of and opportunities for AI. It will be accessible to anyone working in AI.
