Description

The purpose of this one-month intensive project course is for you to get some first-hand experience with doing research in computational social choice. You will take part in a research workshop and you will work through and then present a recent paper from the relevant literature. But you will spend most of your time working on an original research question of your own choosing in a small team. At the end of the month you will present your findings in a talk and write them up in a paper.

Prerequisites

All participants must have a good overview of the COMSOC research area.

Assessment

Students will receive a pass/fail grade for each component of the project (short report on the workshop, presentation of a paper from the literature, final team presentation, final team paper) and must pass all of them to receive an overall passing grade.
