CMU ML talk: Calibration, Regret and Learning in Games

When: Monday, April 3, 2006 at 3:00p until 4:00p

Speaker: Rakesh Vohra

Abstract:
This talk will be a survey of the connections between calibration (a measure of the accuracy of a probability forecast), regret (a measure of how well a decision rule performs which in Wodsworth's words: `looks before and after and pines for what is not') and the question of learning in games (will boundedly rational players in repeated play of a game converge to ones favorite equilibrium of the game?).
