Algorithmics, Social choice, Market Design, and Other Topics

David Harvey David Harvey, a mathematician at UNSW, and his co-author Joris van der Hoeven have made a big breakthrough by designing new algorithms for integer multiplications.  The new algorithms multiply two integers in O(n log n) time.

SECW 2019 will be held on 29 and 30th April 2019 The focus of the workshop is on computational social choice, market design, fair division, and algorithmic game theory. Speakers include Professors Hervé Moulin and Anna Bogomolnaia!

Our FODI session on "Fight the Fear" is available online . In the session, I talked about how to use AI for social good. My talk is from 13:00 to 22:40. The talk will also feature on ABC radio's Ockham Razor program . Here are some photos from the festival...
