{"product_id":"game-theory-for-data-science-boi-faltings-9783031004490","title":"Game Theory for Data Science: Eliciting Truthful Information","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntelligent 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 of data, but also to provide incentives so that agents that provide high-quality data are rewarded while those that do not are discouraged by low rewards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe cover different settings and the assumptions they admit, including sensing, human computation, peer grading, reviews, and predictions. We survey different incentive mechanisms, including proper scoring rules, prediction markets and peer prediction, Bayesian Truth Serum, Peer Truth Serum, Correlated Agreement, and the settings where each of them would be suitable. As an alternative, we also consider reputation mechanisms. We complement the game-theoretic analysis with practical examples of applications in prediction platforms, community sensing, and peer grading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boi Faltings,Goran Radanovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031004493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031004490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Boi Faltings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49148306718975,"sku":"9783031004490","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/game-theory-for-data-science-boi-faltings-9783031004490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
