It is shown that the bursty nature of human behavior is a consequence of a decision based queuing process: when individuals execute tasks based on some perceived priority, the timing of the tasks will be heavy tailed, most tasks being rapidly executed, while a few experiencing very long waiting times.
Group theoretical methods in machine learning
This thesis explores applications of non-commutative harmonic analysis to machine learning and addresses learning on groups and learning in a way that is invariant to a group, including a new system of invariants applicable to any compact group, which is called the skew spectrum.

A covariance matrix estimator is introduced that both takes into account the heteroskedasticity of financial returns and reduces the effective dimensionality of the estimation via techniques borrowed from random matrix theory.
Noisy covariance matrices and portfolio optimization
Simulation experiments with matrices having a structure such as described in [#!bouchaud!#,#!stanley!#] lead to the conclusion that in the context of the classical portfolio problem (minimizing the portfolio variance under linear constraints) noise has relatively little effect.
Parisi's mean-field solution for spin glasses as an analytic continuation in the replica number

Parisi's replica symmetry breaking solution for spin glasses is extended to finite replica number n. The free energy Fp(n) obtained this way, as well as its first two derivatives with respect to n,…

This work claims that the missing mass from the upper tail of the asset size distribution is a consequence of shadow banking activity and that it provides an (upper) estimate of the size of the shadow banking system, and proposes a proportional random growth model that reproduces the observed distribution.
