Subject: Reminder: CSD Distinguished Lecture Tuesday 7/21/15 -Ariel Procaccia - Assistant Professor- Computer Science Department- Carnegie Mellon University

CSD Community,

There will be a CSD Distinguished Lecture at 2pm on Tuesday July  21st, 2015 in NSH 3305.

Ariel Procaccia will be giving a talk on AI and Economics.

Talk title/abstract/bio are below for your review:

"AI and Economics for a Healthier, Safer, and Fairer World"

Abstract:

I will explore the broad and exciting interaction between AI and economics, which spans the spectrum from deep theory to deployed applications in healthcare, physical security, and dispute resolution. Specifically, I will talk about market design, focusing on kidney exchange algorithms that overcome uncertainty; game theory, with an emphasis on the problem of learning to play security games; and fair division, where I will argue that computational thinking gives rise to new notions of fairness, and show how these ideas are integrated into Spliddit.org<http://Spliddit.org>, a not-for-profit website that offers provably fair solutions to everyday problems. On the way I will make a special effort to highlight new challenges for AI research.

Bio:

Ariel Procaccia is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University.  He usually works on problems at the interface of computer science and economics.
