This course is targeted at understanding RM problems in the booming environment of online platforms and marketplaces with applications ranging from online advertising to ride-sharing markets. The main focus is on design and analysis of models and algorithms for matching, pricing, incentivizing, and personalizing on such platforms. Sample topics include, but are not limited to, resource allocation and pricing under uncertain sequential demand, mechanism design, discrete choice models, static and dynamic assortment optimization, real-time recommendations, spatial supply response and supply re-balancing in bike/ride sharing systems.
