Far from the madding crowd: Collective wisdom in prediction markets

G Bottazzi, D Giachini - Quantitative Finance, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
We investigate market selection and bet pricing in a repeated prediction market model. We
derive the conditions for long-run survival of more than one agent (the crowd) and quantify …

The wisdom of crowds: Methods of human judgement aggregation

A Lyon, E Pacuit - Handbook of human computation, 2013 - Springer
Although the idea is an old one, there has been a recent boom in research into the Wisdom
of Crowds, and this appears to be at least partly due to the now widespread availability of …

Agent-based modelling as a foundation for big data

SH Chen, R Venkatachalam - Journal of Economic Methodology, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
In this article, we propose a process-based definition of big data, as opposed to the size-and
technology-based definitions. We argue that big data should be perceived as a continuous …

Online learning in betting markets: profit versus prediction

H Zhu, A Soen, YK Cheung, L **e - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.04062, 2024 - arxiv.org
We examine two types of binary betting markets, whose primary goal is for profit (such as
sports gambling) or to gain information (such as prediction markets). We articulate the …

No-regret and incentive-compatible online learning

R Freeman, D Pennock, C Podimata… - International …, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study online learning settings in which experts act strategically to maximize their
influence on the learning algorithm's predictions by potentially misreporting their beliefs …

Elicitation for aggregation

R Frongillo, Y Chen, I Kash - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on …, 2015 - ojs.aaai.org
We study the problem of eliciting and aggregating probabilistic information from multiple
agents. In order to successfully aggregate the predictions of agents, the principal needs to …

Convergence analysis of prediction markets via randomized subspace descent

R Frongillo, MD Reid - Advances in Neural Information …, 2015 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Prediction markets are economic mechanisms for aggregating information about future
events through sequential interactions with traders. The pricing mechanisms in these …

Information aggregation in exponential family markets

J Abernethy, S Kutty, S Lahaie, R Sami - Proceedings of the fifteenth …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
We consider the design of prediction market mechanisms known as automated market
makers. We show that we can design these mechanisms via the mold of exponential family …

Multi-period trading prediction markets with connections to machine learning

J Hu, A Storkey - International Conference on Machine …, 2014 - proceedings.mlr.press
We present a new model for prediction markets, in which we use risk measures to model
agents and introduce a market maker to describe the trading process. This specific choice of …

Generalized mixability via entropic duality

MD Reid, RM Frongillo… - … on Learning Theory, 2015 - proceedings.mlr.press
Mixability is a property of a loss which characterizes when constant regret is possible in the
game of prediction with expert advice. We show that a key property of mixability generalizes …
