Title: Automorphism problem of noncommutative algebras

Abstract: Computing and understanding the automorphism group of an algebra is a notoriously difficult problem. We survey on recent results about the automorphism group of important classes of noncommutative algebras. New methods such as using rigidity, discriminant, and valuation will be discussed.
