DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Budget Feasible Mechanisms\n\nSPEAKER:\n Rian Neogi\n\nA
 FFILIATION:\n University of Waterloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 6029\n\nABSTRACT: I
 n the setting of budget feasible mechanism design\, a buyer\nwants to purc
 hase items from a set of agents. Each agent can supply at\nitem at an incu
 rred cost of c_i to themself\, and the buyer wants to\noptimize over their
  own valuation for the set of items bought. The\ncost c_i is private infor
 mation that the buyer doesn't have access to.\nThe goal is to design a mec
 hanism that is truthful\, in the sense that\nthe sellers do not have incen
 tive to deviate from reporting their true\ncosts\, and budget feasible\, i
 n the sense that the total payments made\nto the sellers is within some bu
 dget B.
