ALiGS Seminar Series
I am happy to introduce ALiGS, an algorithmic learning in games seminar series, organized with colleagues from Imperial College, King's College, and LSE. It's geared towards theorists who want to learn about algorithms in strategic interactions. The series has a loose chronology, with the first seminar serving as an introduction. Feel free to drop in and choose seminars based on your interest! We'd love to have you join and also hear about others who might be interested in presenting.
Starting fall 2024, seminars will be held every two weeks on Mondays at 11 am ET.
