Abstract

This talk will introduce the Bala-Goyal model of epistemic networks, where agents on a network learn to solve a decision problem by performing actions and sharing the results of those actions with their neighbors.  We will discuss the conditions under which agents on these networks successfully learn to perform optimal outcomes, and how network structure can influence time to convergence and accuracy.
