Research

Predicting the future is a theoretical problem before it's a modelling one. Our research looks for new ways to resolve outcomes, elicit private information, and turn both into signal a model can learn from.

Research focus

Algorithmic economics

  • Abstract visual for prediction marketsPrediction MarketsMarkets that price the likelihood of future events, and the scoring rules that keep those prices honest.
  • Abstract visual for forecastingForecastingEliciting and aggregating dispersed beliefs into calibrated predictions that hold up against outcomes.
  • Abstract visual for cryptoeconomicsCryptoeconomicsIncentives that make decentralised systems behave, so participation and honesty pay better than manipulation.

Machine learning

  • Abstract visual for distributed learningDistributed LearningTraining and inference spread across heterogeneous machines, with communication as the binding constraint.
  • Abstract visual for security of machine learningSecurity of Machine LearningAttack surfaces that open up once training leaves a trusted datacentre, and the defences that close them.
  • Abstract visual for verifiable learningVerifiable LearningProving a model ran as claimed, so results from an untrusted machine can still be trusted.
