I have been reading "Decisions with Multiple Objectives" by Keeney and Raiffa. The book introduces Decision Theory and after that focuses in the elicitation of multiattribute utility functions. I think I have achieved a general understanding of decision theory. Now I would like to continue learning and my steps point to a particularly interesting subarea of Decision Theory: Game Theory. My reading list for the area includes:
- Fun and Games: A Text on Game Theory, by Ken Binmore
- Game Theory, by Fudenberg and Tirole
- Game Theory: Analysis of Conflict, by Myerson
I am also skimming through different network programming books to prepare a new subject I am teaching from February to June.
And finally I am still reading and rereading the Pickaxe Ruby book.
Writing
I am preparing some new experiments to submit a paper with my results in TAN induction to the Journal of Machine Learning Research.
I am also writing the slides for the Ruby course. That is fun, but is taking a lot of my time.
