Nice video about the recent Jeopardy competition involving and IBM computer called Watson...
Question: Would it be useful to apply techniques from machine learning to model the macroeconomy? Cosma Shalizi has been awarded a grant from INET for research in this area...which I take to be a good sign. Any opinions about this? Or links to share?

My latest distraction arrived today...
My copy of Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications
arrived in the mail today. I am fairly confident (more so after reading that Cosma Shalizi et al have recently received a grant from INET to apply these techniques to validate macroeconomic forecasting models) that the programming techniques taught in this book will be useful to me as a macroeconomist.
I am particularly interested in the techniques borrowed from statistical and machine learning theory (support-vector machines, genetic algorithms, genetic programming, etc).
