Game theory

Asynchrony (game theory)

In game theory, asynchrony occurs when gameplay does not proceed in consistently paced rounds. A system is synchronous if agents in a game move in lockstep according to a global timing system, whereas "in an asynchronous system, there is no global clock. The agents in the system can run at arbitrary rates relative to each other." (Wikipedia).

Jules Hedges - compositional game theory - part I

Compositional game theory is an approach to game theory that is designed to have better mathematical (loosely “algebraic” and “geometric”) properties, while also being intended as a practical setting for microeconomic modelling. It gives a graphical representation of games in which the flo

Game theory (1), prisoner's dilemma.

This video introduces game theory; an influential perspective used in both evolutionary biology and economics. The prisoner's dilemma model is described as well as the predictions it makes for optimal strategies when many interactions of this type are made.

Flexible systems are the next frontier of machine learning

Machine learning is moving toward an important advance: the development of flexible systems that can learn to perform multiple tasks and then use what they have learned to solve new problems on their own. While substantial progress has been made, significant improvements to hardware, soft

Synchronous vs Asynchronous Programming

We all learn to program by learning synchronous programming first. We call a function, and our code stops and doesn't do the next thing until we receive a response. The trouble is that as soon as our systems get even a little more complex than that, this complexity explodes. In large-scale

Actually Understanding Asynchronous JavaScript

Reasoning about asynchronous code can be hard if you don’t understand the mechanics. It often trips up programmers with deep experience in other languages when they try their hand at client or server-side JavaScript. But, asynchronous JavaScript isn’t as hard as it seems once you learn a f
