> Dear faculty and students,
> 
> We look forward to seeing you this Tuesday, March 8th, at noon in NSH 3305 for AI lunch. To learn more about the seminar and lunch, or to volunteer to give a talk, please visit the AI Lunch webpage.
> 
> On Tuesday, Nisarg Shah will give a talk titled "Optimal Social Decision Making."
> 
> Abstract: How can computers help ordinary people make collective decisions about real-life dilemmas, like which restaurant to go to with friends, or even how to divide an inheritance?  I will present an optimization-driven approach that draws on ideas from AI, theoretical computer science, and economic theory, and illustrate it through my research in computational social choice and computational fair division. In both areas, I will make a special effort to demonstrate how fundamental theoretical questions underlie the design and implementation of deployed services that are already used by tens of thousands of people (spliddit.org), as well as upcoming services (robovote.org).
