Bicycle networks: From data quality assessment to computational analysis Cycling is marginalized despite being a promising solution towards sustainable transport. In parallel, cycling data and cycling research are also marginalized, posing many opportunities for improvement and open questions. Here, we first present our cycling data quality tool which enables intrinsic and extrinsic assessment and reporting […]
Our NERDS seminars continue on Wednesday Feb 15 with a talk from Francisco Rowe, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography and Planning, University of Liverpool. Francisco Rowe will introduce the research project ITINERANT: InequaliTies IN Experiencing uRbAn fuNcTion: ITINERANT aims to understand how different socio-economic groups experience, access and benefit from the wide array of functions […]
On Wednesday Feb 22, Jonas Juul (DTU) will present his talk "Harder, better, faster, stronger cascades - or simply larger?" on the dissemination of online content. Abstract: Do some types of online content spread faster or further than others? In recent years, many studies have sought answers to such questions by comparing statistical properties of network paths taken […]
Talk: The issue of scale in anarchy: an information perspective Anarchist collectives are self-organized, non-hierarchical and anti-authoritarian. It is often argued that the scope of such collectives is limited, as they cannot grow in size or complexity without requiring some form of delegation or centralized hierarchical control. More generally, the emergence of control hierarchies in […]
Bicycle infrastructure data and networks: Opportunities and limitations In this talk, we will explore the opportunities and limitations of bicycle infrastructure data, models and networks. With the increasing popularity of cycling as a mode of transportation, the need for accurate and reliable data on bicycle infrastructure has become crucial for planners, engineers, and policymakers.
We are organizing a workhop in Vienna! Sustainable Mobility: Data, Networks, and Complexity Why are politicians so reluctant to invest into bicycle infrastructure and pedestrianization given it is the most efficient investment towards sustainable and livable cities? What are the technical and political bottlenecks that keep society in the stranglehold of car dependency, and what […]

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 […]
