Short Bio:
Jing Chen is a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at MIT. She is a member of the Theory of Computation Group in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Her main research interests are computational game theory, mechanism design, auctions, and markets. She is also interested in cryptography, algorithms, computational complexity, and secure hardware. Before coming to MIT, she got her M.E. and B.E. from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, China.
Abstract:
Mechanism design, which aims at leveraging the information and rationality of selfish agents, is becoming more and more connected to computer science. "In order to form a more perfect union", however, we must overcome several challenges, such as collusion, privacy, and computational complexity. We illustrate how this can be done for the case of revenue generation in combinatorial auctions, auctions where multiple goods are for sale and each buyer's valuation for each subset of the goods can be arbitrary. |
