内容：

 Interaction between computer science and economics leads to new paradigms that can change the way we think about computer science and economics: economics must be operational at a practical level and computer protocols must take into account selfish strategic behaviors. In this talk, we consider a problem where the two science branches interact, namely the problem of mechanism design. We first introduce the formulation of the problem and its economic solution. We then show two new perspectives to look at this problem, one via the lens of theoretical computer science and the other of artificial intelligence. Both perspectives shed light on this classic problem.
