Description
In this episode I have a lovely conversation with Dr BarbaraFranci about her research into game theory, exploring both theoretical concepts (such as variational inequalities, forwards-backwards algorithms, and stochasticNash equilibrium-seeking problems) and practical applications, including resource allocation, energy management, and generative adversarial networks!
