| 中文简介 |
本课程将会介绍算法、博弈论、经济学和学习理论之间的相互影响。课程主要关注以下三个主题：（1）博弈论的基础及其和对偶理论、在线学习的关系。（2）拍卖和机制设计的基础和根基，以及如何从PAC学习理论的角度出发去使用数据来帮助拍卖和机制的设计。（3）概率密度估计的基础及在经济学中的应用。
其中，主题（1）涵盖了战略行为、平衡、对偶理论、在线学习和无秩序价值的基础。主题（2）介绍机制设计、税收优化和PAC学习，同时会使用这些工具来学习机制设计的简单性、可学习性和近似折衷。主题（3）介绍经济学和统计学的基础，并应用于游戏和拍卖中的推断。本课程的大多数样例都会基于在线广告和在线市场设计的应用。

| 英文简介 |
The course will present topics at the intersection of Algorithms, Game Theory, Economics, and Learning. We will mainly focus on the following three topics: (i) Fundamentals of Game Theory and their connection to duality theory and online learning; (ii) The basics and foundations of auctions and mechanism design, and also how to design good auctions and mechanisms using data through the lens of provably-approximately-correct (PAC) learning; and (iii) The basics of density estimation and its applications in Econometrics.
Topic (i) will cover the basics of strategic behavior, equilibria, duality theory, online learning, and the price of anarchy. Topic (ii) will present the basics of mechanism design, revenue optimization, and PAC learning, and apply these tools to study the simplicity, learnability, and approximation tradeoffs in mechanism design. Topic (iii) will present the basics of Econometrics and Statistics, with applications to inference in games and auctions. Most examples of this course will be based on applications in online advertising and online market design.
