My efforts in deploying prediction markets at Microsoft made me very interested in information aggregation and incentives. How do we elicit information from people (or machines), and aggregate it in a way that rewards good information sources? How do we help decision makers to seriously consider the forecasts they receive?
I recently worked on research reproducibility in Computer Science with Christian Collberg . The work began with a simple effort to measure the repeatability of CS research . Our efforts culminated in creating a public database of recent CS publications AND their associated digital artifacts: www.findresearch.org .
