Munich AI Lectures
Part 1: Dynamics of Strategic Agents and Algorithms as PDEs
Franca Hoffmann, California Institute of Technology
17.12.2024
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Senatssaal, LMU Munich, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, Munich
We are thrilled to invite you to the upcoming Munich AI Lecture featuring two distinguished researchers Prof. Holger Hoos from RWTH Aachen University and Prof. Franca Hoffmann from California Institute of Technology. The lecture is organized by the Chair of Mathematics of Information Processing with support by MCML.
In the first talk, Franca Hoffmann will explore how to understand and predict the complex dynamics that emerge when algorithms interact with strategic populations. She will present a game-theoretic framework for infinite-dimensional games, modeled through coupled partial differential equations, to capture these interactions.
