Next Meeting

Group meeting.
Hey group, how about meeting on Wednesday to discuss how we are going to divide the work in creating slides. How about 1pm? In Dr. Oh's lab again?

my 1 page summary.

1-pager

Guys, here is my 1-pager.  Hard to compress everything I wanted to talk about, but it hits the three major points Prof Oh wanted.  Are we going to turn the meeting notes from last week into the 1-pager for the argument as to why we chose Mehmet's paper?

Meeting Log

Today we met to discuss which paper we would pursue.

In the end everyone agreed that Mehmet's paper on reputation management in an auction game was the best candidate paper the reasons discussed were:

1. Has actual experimental results and comparison
2. Discusses Bayesian and Evolutionary games so it relates to class material.
3. Was long and dense enough to create several slides and require some indepth discussions.
4. Was on the topic of Auctioning, which we have found is a desired skill in a real-world job market.

Furthermore, we eliminated other papers on the following basis:

1. Patrick's social network paper was too short and was on the Shapley value which may not tie that closely into lecture material.
2. Nate's paper was on Satisficing games which also may not tie that well into lecture material, and satisficing games seem a complex subject.
3. Guan's paper, while an application of game theory, was too theoretical with theorems and proofs and no experimental results.
4. Joo's paper the experimental results did not seem as easy to discuss as Mehmet's paper.

We've all agreed to read the Bayesian paper in depth and try to update the blog with questions/comments/etc. based on this thorough reading.

Papers

I skimmed through the paper Guan suggested, it looks very interesting and I would vote for this paper to be the group paper, my only concern is that I think Dr. Oh will say that it is too theoretical. While I agree that it involves game theory being applied to a specific problem, I really think he is looking for something with an algorithm and a measurable a result (graphs, charts, comparison with other algorithms). The results in this paper are theoretical not really empirical.

Guan if you have anything in the same vein of Network Science and Game theory which is a bit more application/empirically based I'd be interested in that paper for the group.

After carefully reading the paper I suggested I am also not a huge fan, it is riddled with poor explanations and some grammatical errors. I'm going to look one more time for papers and will post before the group meets today.

"Bayesian game theory in practice: A framework for online reputation systems"

Guys,

Here is another paper related to online auction sites, specifically eBay. Ill write my summary on this.

Meet

Hi all,
Since we have to meet once, how about during class time on Thursday since everyone should be free. I'd also like to suggest a paper on social networks: www.ifaamas.org/Proceedings/aamas08/.../pdf/.../AAMAS08_0345.pdf

which uses the shapley value.
