Description: Calit2 is sponsoring second year of this popular lecture series bringing together social and behavioral sciences with computer science. The goal of the Behavioral, Social and Computer Sciences Seminar Series (BSCS3) is to promote the development of theory and experiments that apply the theories and methodologies of computer science together with the theories and methodologies of the social and behavioral sciences. The research tools are drawn from discrete algorithms, artificial intelligence and agent-based modeling, game theory, linear programming and duality, theory of communication, networks, discrete optimization, mathematical economics, econometrics, brain and behavioral experiments. This multidisciplinary series is unique in that each speaker spends the day at UC San Diego and is available for meetings and discussions with interested faculty and graduate students throughout the day.

We think of intelligence as a deliberate, conscious activity guided by the laws of logic. Yet much of our mental life is unconscious, based on processes alien to logic: gut feelings, or intuitions. I argue that intuition is more than impulse and caprice; it has its own rationale. This can be...
We provide a simple characterization of updating rules that can be rationalized as Bayesian. Namely, we consider a general setting in which an agent observes finite sequences of signals and reports probabilistic predictions on the underlying state of the world. We study when such predictions are...
Social networks influence the evolution of cooperation and they exhibit strikingly systematic patterns across a wide range of human contexts. Both of these facts suggest that variation in the topological attributes of human social networks might have a genetic basis. While genetic variation...
