Approximation is the New Optimal
The Internet has become a huge computational platform for many heterogeneous, complex markets. These complex markets require the design of fast algorithms that take into account the economic, game theoretic, and computational considerations in a unified way. In this talk, Michal Feldman will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities that arise in this domain, through the lens of approximation.

The Shortcut: How Machines Became Intelligent Without Thinking in a Human Way
zhlédnutí 801Před 3 měsíci
Current media coverage of AI seems to assume that it has just suddenly appeared out of the blue. Instead, the prevailing form of machine intelligence is the direct result of a series of decisions that we have made over the past decades. These were shortcuts aimed at addressing various technical (and business) problems, and that are now behind many of the current concerns about the impact of thi...
The Quest for Structure - A Quest for Beauty?
zhlédnutí 111Před 7 měsíci
Drawing on examples of her recent research in discrete mathematics amongst others, Julia's talk aims to illustrate how the quest for structure in mathematics can lead to questions and concepts of intangible yet lasting aesthetic appeal. Recalling key events from her own mathematical career date along the way, Julia will also attempt to examine to what extent aesthetic sensibility, opportunity, ...

Becoming a Good Mathematician: Practical Ethics for the Mathematical Sciences
zhlédnutí 236Před rokem
Erica starts from the premise that all of our mathematical choices have practical and ethical implications. To illustrate this, Erica will recap her mathematical career and interests, presenting some solved and unsolved problems in geometry, fluid dynamics, complex modelling, forecast evaluation and statistical inference. Using examples including climate change and Covid-19, she will demonstrat...
X+Y: A Mathematician's Manifesto For Rethinking Gender
zhlédnutí 359Před rokem
The question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers, only many contributing factors. Dr Cheng will draw on a combination of precise mathematical reasoning, techniques of abstract mathematical thinking, and her experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of mathematics. Dr Cheng will argue that if we focus on character t...
Data For Decisions | Women in Mathematics Seminar
zhlédnutí 145Před rokem
Emma’s talk focusses on how data has driven her career, not just in terms of the application areas of her research, but also as central to her journey from a departmental academic to university leadership positions. Emma also outlines some recent research and data projects, ranging from the impact of the introduction of interventions in road networks; personalisation strategies in online contro...
The epidemiological impact of the NHS COVID-19 app | Women in Mathematics Seminar
zhlédnutí 176Před 2 lety
Contact tracing is an important (albeit sometimes unpopular) part of the toolkit for limiting the spread of COVID-19. In this talk Michelle Kendall (University of Warwick) will explain the theoretical motivation for contact tracing and for developing the NHS COVID-19 app. She will provide a brief history of its epidemiological impact which has been significant both in reducing COVID-19 transmis...
A Beautiful Question: finding nature's deep design | Public Lecture
zhlédnutí 381Před 2 lety
In his new book, world-class physicist and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek argues that beauty is at the heart of the logic of the universe, a principle that had guided his pioneering work in quantum physics. As his book looks to demonstrate, this quest has also guided the work of all scientific pursuit in the western world, from Pythagoras and Plato to Galileo and Newton, Maxwell and Einstein. Ind...
Game Theory and Politics | Public Lecture
zhlédnutí 23KPřed 2 lety
Game theory is the 'science of interaction'. This talk will explain some insights of game theory and apply them to current politics. Of course politicians play games. They offer cheap promises that they think they don't have to fulfil. Such as a "simple" in-out referendum on EU membership. That game plan went wrong. Game theory could have helped, with tools for thinking ahead and concepts of st...
Weapons of Math Destruction: how big data increases inequality and threatens democracy | Podcast
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 2 lety
This podcast features highlights from Cathy O'Neil's LSE Public Lecture. We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives - whether we get a job or a loan, how much we pay for insurance - are being made by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated. But as Cath...

The Diffusion of Social and Technological Innovations | Public Lecture

New ideas, technologies, and ways of doing things are the key to economic growth and development. Yet it often takes many years after the introduction of an innovation before it comes into widespread use. Delays result from many issues; we examine these in the context of several well-documented cases. Date: Monday 7 March 2016 #LSEPeytonYoung Speaker: 🔴 Professor H. Peyton Young Chair: 🔴 Profes...

Fascinating
Politics it's better to batter the good portion to reveal the winning ceremony as the revenue loss dilemma a detrimental economy in the role of the all time but rest assured as zero or negative sum at last.
Hi sir, I was watching a video on CZcams when I saw your channel. I really like your video content. But as a CZcams expert, I noticed one thing: your video views are getting less and less. Then I researched your channel and found that your video's SEO score is very bad. Your video and I see that your video is not SEO optimized because your video is not for the targeted audience, your video gets fewer views and channel subscribers get less views. I can say that as a CZcams expert, if you can do SEO friendly things for your channel and videos like searching for tags, hashtags, descriptions and keywords then your CZcams channel and videos will be develop rapidly. I think your CZcams channel will make your dream come true. Thank you"
Politics is just entitlement by boys with anxiety about abandonment by their mother, so they seek to be the center of attention. Politics is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It is gradiosity, exaggerated sense of self and a lack of conscience. Politics is criminal behavior and is no way to manage human physical existence and ecological demands.
Wouldn't mandatory accounting in the schools be a good idea so everyone knows how to play the game and keep score?
Hi, sir Your CZcams content is great, but it deserves more views! Let us help you reach a wider audience and achieve your goals. Let us help you amplify your reach and engagement with our proven CZcams promotion and SEO strategies Thank you for your time and consideration.

Nice presentation, bad shot. mr cameraman please don't forget to shoot the screen next time
Randomizing the way you randomize is also a good tactic
thanks
Thank you for uploading!
You're welcome!
Lol, little do we know we use game theory in every day life
"There was Wolfgang Schäuble, who was then a very popular politician in Greece"?
Irony maybe?
Glad to know that there is a nice way of utilizing it
His insights are useful, but not his politics.
Wonder when the 350m a week to the nhs is coming amid the strikes?
@@kinofchaos9085 The 350m slogan was simply intended as an example of what is possible if the UK is no longer paying £350m Sterling a week into the EU Budget. In reality, not all of it would go to the NHS, of course. A british government also has other policy areas to attend to, such as education, roads, or defence.
@@susannamarker2582 So plastering 350m a week to the nhs was classic pulling the wool over the public's eyes got it.
@@kinofchaos9085 In reality, the slogan should have read : £350m a week more for public services, research and currency reserves. However, all of that is rather long.
@@susannamarker2582 It wont have the same misleading and powerful impact as saying 350m a week to the nhs which the public hold very dear and get lot of visibility. Some thing better would have been only claps for healthcare workers while they should be content getting poorer and poorer with no competition in the market
Nice lecture.
this should be widely circulated.
Collectivism = Communism.

There is a beauty in questioning and understanding the causes of things.
