📢 Talk: What Kinds of Functions Do Neural Networks Learn? Low-Norm vs. Flat Solutions

Low-norm solutions show strong, dimension-independent generalization. Flat minima may fail in high dimensions due to “neural shattering.”

New theory on what truly drives generalization.

Persuasion with imperfect decision-makers
When receivers don’t act optimally, the classic Revelation Principle breaks.
But we show weaker versions still hold, letting the sender rely on simple action recommendations and compute near-optimal policies efficiently.

How do opinions evolve when people compete for limited resources? 🧠💡
We model opinion dynamics in social networks using a game-theoretic lens—exploring convergence, oscillations, dominance, and links to Nash equilibria & price of anarchy.

Join us for this exciting talk.
