Theories of this kind go by different names (“efficient coding\,” “rational inattention\,” “information bottleneck\,” etc.)\, and the nature of the assumed resource constraint also differs in different strands of the literature. This conference\, the latest in a series of Columbia University interdisciplinary conferences on the cognitive foundations of decision making\, brings together leading researchers representing several of these approaches\, to discuss both their foundations and important applications. \nThe conference will include keynote lectures by Naftali Tishby (Hebrew University) and Andrew Caplin (New York University)\, and additional talks by Matt Botvinick (DeepMind)\, Rafael Polania (ETH Zurich)\, Sophia Sanborn (UC Berkeley)\, Alan Stocker (University of Pennsylvania)\, and Noga Zaslavsky (Hebrew University). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n9th Floor Lecture Hall\nJerome Greene Science Center\n\n3227 Broadway\nNew York\, NY 10029\n\n
