12 May 2023, Formalisation, Optimisation, Algorithms, Mechanisms (FOAM), Guido Schäfer
Abstract:
Corruption in auctions, where an auctioneer engages in bid rigging with one (or several) of the bidders, occurs rather frequently in practice, especially in the public sector (e.g., in construction and procurement auctions). We study the social welfare loss caused by corrupt auctioneers, both in single-item and multi-unit auctions.

12 May 2023, STiHAC Joint Meeting, Deborah Kant
16 - 17 May 2023, Workshop on Reasoning about Responsible Agency in AI
As they become increasingly integrated into our lives, autonomous systems are used to execute more and more tasks that have both normative and epistemic relevance. This has led to a growing literature in machine ethics aiming at addressing the question of how to build autonomous systems that can, first, acquire and properly reason about normative and observational information, and, second, use this information to interact with other agents and the environment in a way that is responsible and, at the same time, explainable.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together philosophers, logicians, and computer scientists in order to explore these topics from an interdisciplinary perspective.
16 - 17 May 2023, Workshop "Interrogatives and imperatives in the visual modality"
The first workshop day focuses on methods, with different sessions devoted to questions and experiences related to elicitation methods/experimental design, annotation, and analysis in studies on imperatives and/or interrogatives in the visual modality. Each session features 10-minute presentations by several research groups on their ongoing work, followed by general discussion.
On the second workshop day, five research groups present (preliminary) results of their recent or ongoing work into imperatives and/or interrogatives in the visual modality.
