In this course
Amnon Rapoport is a game theorist and experimental economist whose work on mixed strategies and coordination in competitive and cooperative games provides empirical grounding for understanding how rational agents actually behave under uncertainty. His research appears in the course readings as evidence for testing classical game-theoretic predictions—particularly the minimax hypothesis and coordination mechanisms—against observed human decision-making, which becomes crucial when examining how algorithms trained on human data inherit or diverge from these behavioral patterns. The citations position Rapoport's experimental methods as a bridge between abstract game theory and the real-world behavioral foundations that inform machine learning systems designed to model or predict human choice.
