DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ACTUCR/1/">O
 pen games: the long road to practical applications</a>\nby Jules Hedges (M
 ax Planck Institute) as part of ACT@UCR\n\n\nAbstract\nI will talk about o
 pen games\, and the closely related concepts of lenses/optics and open lea
 rners. My goal is to report on the successes and failures of an ongoing ef
 fort to try to realise the often-claimed benefits of categories and compos
 itionality in actual practice. I will introduce what little theory is need
 ed along the way. Here are some things I plan to talk about:\n\n<ul>\n <li
 > Lenses as an abstraction of the chain rule </li>\n\n <li> Comb diagrams 
 </li>\n\n <li> Surprising applications of open games: Bayesian inference\,
  value function iteration </li>\n\n <li> The state of tool support </li>\n
 \n <li> Open games in their natural habitat: microeconomics </li>\n\n <li>
  Sociological aspects of working with economics </li>\n</ul>\n
