Project Grant FA23862414014

The National Science Foundation awarded a $294,401 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research developing new tools for robust predictions in strategic games with incomplete information. Specifically, the researchers will generalize the solution concept of Bayesian correlated equilibrium to characterize rationalizable behavior under common prior beliefs about unobserved payoff-relevant states....

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems supports research to significantly increase the scalability of algorithms for solving large-scale, multi-step, imperfect-information strategic interactions. Specifically, the $854,896 award to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 will fund the design, implementation, and testing of novel techniques in three main areas: Scalable subtree solving...

This Project Grant award of $227,984 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to advance the understanding and efficiency of equilibrium computation in multi-agent interactions and games. The project aims to develop state-of-the-art algorithms for equilibrium computation, overcome limitations of current methods, and clarify the computational complexity of...

This $599,744 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research by Yale University to develop new theory and methods for analyzing, training, and designing complex, high-dimensional multi-agent games and machine learning systems. The key activities under this 3-year award include: Developing optimal uncoupled algorithms for computing and learning equilibria in high-dimensional concave games...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $237,999 to support research on developing game-theoretic algorithms for online planning in partially observable domains. The awardee, The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, will work to design decision-making algorithms based on game theory that enable autonomous agents to interact...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science grant award of $297,345 provides funding for a series of annual summer conferences, workshops, and lectures on game theory and its applications to various disciplines, including computer science, business, and public policy. The project, titled "CONFERENCE: SUMMER PROGRAM ON GAME THEORY AND ECONOMICS," will be hosted by Stony Brook University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The program aims to...

This award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $160,000.00 to Carnegie Mellon University to develop a new game-theoretic approach to statistical inference. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a fundamental theory and methodology for nonparametric, game-theoretic statistical inference, including hypothesis testing, confidence intervals/sequences, and change point detection. This work aims to create more...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER (47.041 Engineering) grant award of $425,225, effective February 15, 2025 through January 31, 2030, supports research at the University of Maryland, College Park to develop the theoretical foundations of dynamic multi-agent learning under information constraints. The research program will formally introduce concepts from control theory, such as "information structure," into the study of multi-agent learning in dynamic environments where...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,330 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley. The grant supports a 2.5-year project to advance state-of-the-art techniques for solving nonconvex optimization problems and games through both theoretical and computational approaches. The core innovation is the concept of "approachable...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program project grant, awarded to Purdue University for $600,000 on December 1, 2023, aims to improve the security and efficiency of secure multi-party computation (MPC) technology. MPC enables computations on private data without revealing non-essential information, facilitating collaboration in social, scientific, commercial, and security domains while maintaining privacy. The project will build a...
