Game Theory for Data Science
Eliciting Truthful Information
Language: English
Release Date: September 19, 2017
Intelligent systems often depend on data provided by information agents, for example, sensor data or crowdsourced human computation. Providing accurate and relevant data requires costly effort that agents may not always be willing to provide. Thus, it becomes important not only to verify the correctness...
