Examining Bicycle Network Data: A reproducible workflow for evaluating data quality Session: The potential of open data for better infrastructure

Luca Aiello at FRCCS 2023

Coloring Social Relationships Social relationships are the key determinant of crucial societal outcomes, including diffusion of innovation, productivity, happiness, and life expectancy. To better attain such outcomes at scale, it is therefore paramount to have technologies that can effectively capture the type of social relationships from digital data. NLP researchers have tried to do so […]

Quantifying biases and inequalities in science Every day our life is made easier by efficient measures and algorithms that quantify, search, and rank scientific information. Yet, these measures and algorithms have an issue: they are trained on citations, which are ingrained with human biases. Therefore the output is inherently biased too, creating inequalities, raising concerns […]

Geographic distances influence social connections inside cities - even in our digital age . Both the perception of physical distance and the likelihood of forming social ties across locations are influenced by infrastructural elements, as previous studies […]
