专题课程概要

Many crucial choices we make (both in our professional life and in our personal development) involve uncertainty. This tutorial introduces a language for describing uncertain choice situations, describes some classical decision criteria, and explains how they can be made "robust to uncertainty". These criteria and their features are then illustrated with cases from Economics, Engineering, and Medicine.

学术沙龙概要

The softmax model (also known as Multinomial Logit Model or Power Luce Model) is the most widely used model of preference discovery in all fields of decision making, from Quantal Response Equilibria to Discrete Choice Analysis, from Psychophysics and Neuroscience to Combinatorial Optimization. Our axiomatic characterization of softmax permits to empirically test its descriptive validity and to better understand its conceptual underpinnings as a theory of agents rationality. Our neuropsychological foundation provides a computational model that may explain softmax emergence in human multialternative choice behavior and that naturally extends the dominant Diffusion Model paradigm of binary choice.
