[Dana Houston]

====================================================
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR ALGORITHMIC ECONOMICS SEMINAR, WHICH
MAY BE OF INTEREST TO THE INTELLIGENCE SEMINAR AUDIENCE
====================================================

ALGORITHMIC ECONOMICS SEMINAR
NOVEMBER 27, AT 12:00 NOON, IN NSH 3305

David Parkes, Prof. of CS at Harvard, will give a talk on Tuesday Nov 27 
at noon in NSH 3305, entitled "Mechanism Design as a Classification 
Problem". The award-winning paper on which the talk is based makes a 
surprising (and rather subtle) connection between machine learning and 
mechanism design. At CMU there is recently a surge of interest in the 
intersection of ML and the social sciences (see 
https://sites.google.com/site/mlsscmu/), so David's choice of topic 
seems especially timely.  You can find the talk details (including 
abstract) on the seminar's website:

<http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Earielpro/algecon.html>.

David will be available on Nov 27 for meetings. If you would like to 
meet him, please send your constraints to Pat Loring at 
sawako at cs.cmu.edu <mailto:sawako at cs.cmu.edu>.
