I am Nicolás Della Penna, and go by Nikete to my friends. Im currently doing a PhD in the Statistical Machine Learning group at ANU/NICTA under the supervision of Mark D. Reid. Currently I am focused on the relationship between statistical learning theory and collective cognition. Specifically, I have focused on formal models of market making, arbitrage, online labor markets. I also collaborate on research projects in cognitive neuroscience and have fairly wide interests in the intersection of humans and artificial learning systems. The good folks at Gambit Research suffer me to try to put some of those theories to practice. My apper with Mark on Bandit Market Makers will be presented at the NIPS 2011 Workshops on Computational Social Science.
You can find my CV here, there is also a personal tumblr which aggregates most of what I do online: my accounts on delicious.com/nikete, twitter.com/nikete, and github.com/nikete.
Before that I did some work on nowcasting and using online behaviour to replace surveys in measuring macroeconomic indicators of interest. Some of it can be found in Constructing Consumer Sentiment Index for U.S. Using Google Searches . A working paper by Haifang Huang and me.
