Probability Collectives (David H. Wolpert)
july 2010 by mraginsky
"We recently proved that game theory and statistical physics are identical when cast in terms of information theory.
We call the associated formalism Probability Collectives (PC). PC opens many new lines of research, and provides new approaches to problems in distributed control and distributed optimization."

David Blackwell - Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science
july 2010 by mraginsky
A quote from Blackwell himself: "Basically, I'm not interested in doing research and I never have been, I'm interested in understanding, which is quite a different thing. And often to understand something you have to work it out yourself because no one else has done it."

Research productivity: some paths less travelled
july 2009 by mraginsky
"Conventional approaches for fostering research productivity, such as recruitment and incentives, do relatively little to develop latent capacities in researchers. Six promising unorthodox approaches are the promotion of regular writing, tools for creativity, good luck, happiness, good health and crowd wisdom. These options challenge conventional ideas about research management."
