B.E. (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) Game Theory for Data Science Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the Fourth Year BE AI and DS syllabus under CBCS REV-2019 'C' Scheme, in force from the academic year 2023-24. The University has published no NEP 2020 syllabus for Semesters V to VIII of any engineering branch, so this is the scheme you are examined on — exam form 1T01817 and 1T01818. The first and second years of the degree are on NEP 2020.

Syllabus for Game Theory for Data Science
Module Prerequisite 1 hours
- Prerequisite Probability , Algebra
- Introduction: Making rational choices: basics of Games – strategy – preferences – payoffs – Mathematical basics – Game theory – Rational Choice – Basic solution concepts-non-cooperative versus cooperative games – Basic computational issues – finding equilibria and learning in gamesTypical application areas for game theory (e.g. Google's sponsored search, eBay auctions, electricity trading markets).
- Games with Perfect Information: Strategic games – prisoner's dilemma, matching pennies -Nash equilibria – theory and illustrations – Cournot's and Bertrand models of oligopoly – auctions – mixed strategy equilibrium – zero-sum games – Extensive Games with Perfect Information – repeated games (prisoner's dilemma) – subgame perfect Nash equilibrium; computational issues.
- Games with Imperfect Information: Games with Imperfect Information – Bayesian Games – Motivational Examples – General Definitions – Information aspects – Illustrations – Extensive Games with Imperfect – Information – Strategies – Nash Equilibrium – Beliefs and sequential equilibrium – Illustrations – Repeated Games – The Prisoner's Dilemma – Bargaining.
- Non-Cooperative Game Theory: Non-cooperative Game Theory – Self-interested agents – Games in normal form – Analyzing games: from optimality to equilibrium – Computing Solution Concepts of Normal – Form Games – Computing Nash equilibria of two-player, zero-sum games –Computing Nash equilibria of two-player, generalsum games – Identifying dominated strategies
- Mechanism Design Aggregating Preferences: Social Choice – Formal Model – Voting – Existence of social functions – Ranking systems – Protocols for Strategic Agents: Mechanism Design – Mechanism design with unrestricted preferences – Efficient mechanisms – Vickrey and VCG mechanisms (shortest paths) – Combinatorial auctions – profit maximization Computational applications
- of mechanism design – applications in Computer Science – Google's sponsored search – eBay auctions – K-armed bandits.
- Repeated Games Repeated games: The Prisoner's Dilemma , The main idea , Preferences ,Infinitely repeated games, Strategies ,Some Nash equilibria of the infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma , Nash equilibrium payoffs of the infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma when the players are patient , Subgame perfect equilibria and the one-deviation property
