CEDI 2027 features keynote talks by leading scholars working at the intersection of computational intelligence and economic decision-making. The keynote program is designed to connect foundational theory with applied and system-oriented research, reflecting the conference’s four technical tracks.
Michael I. Jordan
University of California, Berkeley, USA
Keynote: Decision-Focused Learning and Economic Decision Intelligence
The talk examines how decision-focused learning and optimization-based inference can be integrated with economic decision models, with emphasis on uncertainty quantification, robustness, and the deployment of AI systems in market and policy settings.
Éva Tardos
Cornell University, USA
Keynote: Algorithmic Game Theory for Modern Market and Mechanism Design
The talk reviews algorithmic advances in mechanism design, auction and market algorithms, and learning in strategic environments, connecting theoretical guarantees with practical market and platform decision problems.
Michal Feldman
Tel Aviv University, Israel
Keynote: Fair Division and Contract Design in Computational Economic Systems
The talk addresses fair division, contract theory, and mechanism design in multi-agent economic systems, with attention to computational tractability, incentive compatibility, and deployment in digital platforms.
Susan Athey
Stanford University, USA
Keynote: Machine Learning for Causal Inference and Economic Policy Decisions
The talk focuses on causal machine learning methods for economic forecasting and policy evaluation, including counterfactual analysis, heterogeneity, and the design of decision support systems for economic and regulatory settings.
Keynote talks will be scheduled throughout the three-day program (March 5–7, 2027). Each talk is followed by a moderated discussion session to encourage exchange between speakers and conference participants.
The detailed speaker schedule, including session times and room assignments, will be published in the conference program and announced on this page once confirmed.
