On September, 11-12, 2017 the ODYCCEUS team met with invited guests on the beautiful campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg to discuss game theory and partial representations. The project members where joined by Vincent Crawford (University of Oxford), Peter Gärdenfors (Lund University), Yuval Heller (Bar-Ilan University), and Jörgen Weibull (Stockholm School of Economics). The guests provided both viewpoints from their respective fields of expertise, as well as comment and critique on the work of ODYCCEUS.
Vincent Crawford, Yuval Heller, and Jörgen Weibull gave viewpoints rooted in economic theory, especially aspects of evolutionary adaption, strategic communication and their outcomes in human interaction where highlighted. Peter Gärdenfors introduced the conceptual spaces approach to cognition, whose applicability to the modeling of opinion spaces and word spaces was a topic of mutual interest.
The ODDYCEUS members had the chance to present preliminary and completed research. Marco LiCalzi and Massimo Warglien (University of Venice) provided a theoretical foundation for games with frames. Christian Lindgren (Chalmers University) and Eckehard Olbrich (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig) presented preliminary results on simulated evolutionary dynamics of such interactions. Roland Mühlenbernd (University of Venice) showed numerical results on imitative behaviors in such models. Rocco Tripodi (University of Venice) presented game-theoretically inspired methods of computational linguistics with applications to social media data.
The stimulating discussions will inform and improve the ongoing research of OCYCCEUS. Many thanks to all participants!
