Sum­mary

The Work­shop on Al­go­rithms for Learn­ing and Eco­nom­ics (WALE) brings to­gether re­searchers from academia and industrial research working in the design of algorithms for economics and machine learning. The topics include: mechanism design, auctions design, market design as well as econometrics and statistical inference in the presence of malicious or strategic behaviors. The discussion will involve both the design of novel algorithms as well as computational limitations. There is a tech­ni­cal pro­gram of in­tro­duc­tory talks given by pi­o­neers in dif­fer­ent ar­eas fol­lowed by talks by par­tic­i­pants of the work­shop. In ad­dition, there will be am­ple time for in­for­mal dis­cus­sion and col­lab­o­ra­tion.

De­tails

WALE stands for Work­shop on Al­go­rithms for Learn­ing and Eco­nom­ics. It was previously organized in 2019 and is a suc­ces­sor to the GREAT work­shop or­ga­nized in past years (see GREAT11, GREAT14, GREAT17).

 

It will take place on the beautiful island of Naxos which is the largest island of Cyclades and it is accessible by plane.

The work­shop will last for 5 days with each day hav­ing a dif­fer­ent theme. The tentative top­ics and daily sched­ule are listed be­low.
