Prof. Mohammed El-Beltagy

Description

In this short presentation an exposition is made of the ideas put forth by David H. Wolpert connecting Bounded rational Game Theory with Statistical Physics concepts by means of Information Theory. The mathematical structure that is used, know as Product Distribution (PD) theory, plays a central role in a framework for learning and optimization that is called Probability Collectives PC. We demonstrate the veracity of PC in a number of applications.
