So you think you know the slope of your power-law?
Yasser Roudi, Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, Norway

Online Talk | Complex Systems | Aalto University
Tuesday, Aug 30, 2022
11:15 Finland Time (EEST)
Link: bit.ly/3AgmOmr

My aim in this talk is to discuss the potential pitfalls that one faces in such efforts and to promote a Bayesian interpolation framework for this purpose. I assume "power law scaling" is indeed present in the data, and discuss the difficulties and pitfalls in estimating the exponent. I do this both for synthetic and real data. Establishing that a "power law scaling" is indeed present is much more difficult. This talk is based on Davidovich & Roudi, Bayesian interpolation for power laws in neural data analysis, arXiv:2204.08525
Our work about multilayer network science is finally out!

This is something like a short technical book, part of the Cambridge Elements series on structure and dynamics of networks.

This article summarises the outstanding scientific career of Giorgio Parisi, who was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics, with special emphasis on his contributions to the description of the equilibrium properties of disordered systems.
#PhD and #postdoc position at Saarland University.

’m building up a new “chair” (= research group) for Societal Computing at Saarland University (https://saarland-informatics-campus.de/en/). Societal Computing comprises both (i) computing _of_ society, i.e. the measurement and analysis of societal phenomena, and (ii) computing _for_ society, i.e. working with partners to improve things based on the obtained insights.
https://ingmarweber.de/publications/.

For my new group, I’m looking for motivated PhD students and postdocs who are enthusiastic about interdisciplinary data science with applications in these or similar areas. In terms of methodological expertise, I’m open for a range of profiles that include some computational experience. Of particular relevance is experience in studying societal phenomena using non-traditional data sources, such as social media, satellite imagery, or mobile phone records.

To qualify for a PhD student position, a MA/MSc in computer science or similar is required by the university. Applicants who hold only a BA/BSc are encouraged to get in touch. However, they will most likely be required to first take additional coursework.

To qualify for a postdoc position, a strong publication record is required. The publication record should include at least some work with an application to studying a societal issue.

All positions are 100% (in the German system) following the corresponding public pay scale. Specifics depend on marital status and other factors, but general information can be found at https://academicpositions.com/career-advice/phd-postdoc-and-professor-salaries-in-germany, https://fastepo.com/phd-and-postdocs-salary/phd-students-and-postdocs-salary-germany-2020/, or on similar websites.

To apply, please send a CV and, ideally, academic transcripts to ingmar.weber@uni-saarland.de

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until positions are filled. For full consideration please apply by Sunday, September 11.

سلام به همگی. بعد از یه رخوت شش ماهه کار مقاله‌خوانی رو از سر گرفتیم و امیدوارم این‌بار منقطع نشه. تو این دوره هرچند ماه یک تم برای مقاله‌ها در نظر میگیریم که شاید مفیدتر بشه. تم چند ماه آینده بیماری آلزایمر خواهد بود و سعی میکنیم مقالات مهم رو در حدود یک دهه اخیر مرور کنیم. این مقالات قبل از اینکه اینجا ارایه بشن، سه‌شنبه‌ها در جلساتی که در موسسه رهیافت برگزار میشه بررسی میشن. من خیلی دوست دارم که کانال یوتیوبی هم که داریم فعال بشه که البته با شرایط اینترنت موجود کار آسونی نیست. از پیشنهادات دوستان استقبال میکنیم.
