Yaonan Jin from Columbia university giving an in-person talk. He is a 4th year PhD student in Columbia University advised by Prof Xi Chen and Prof. Rocco Servedio. Here is the talk:
Title: "First Price Auction is 1-1/e^2 Efficient https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.01761 https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.04455" and abstract "We prove that, for the first-price auction, the tight Price of Anarchy (PoA) and the tight Price of Stability (PoS) are both 1-1/e^2 \approx 0.8647, closing the gap between the best known bounds [0.7430, 0.8689].".
Since Yaonan is going to be here physically, he is excited to exchange ideas with everyone over Algorithmic Economics, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, and Randomness in Computation.
