SUMMARY:Anastassia at FOSS4G
DESCRIPTION:https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2023/talk/RPVTPU/ \nBikeDNA: A tool for Bicycle Infrastructure Data & Network Assessment\n2023-06-28\, 16:00–16:30 (Europe/Tirane)\, UBT C / N110 – Second Floor\n\n\nAccess to high-quality data on existing bicycle infrastructure is a requirement for evidence-based bicycle network planning\, which can support a green transition of human mobility. However\, this requirement is rarely met: Data from governmental agencies or crowdsourced projects like OpenStreetMap often suffer from unknown\, heterogeneous\, or low quality. Currently available tools for road network data quality assessment often fail to account for network topology\, spatial heterogeneity\, and bicycle-specific data characteristics. \nTo fill these gaps\, we introduce BikeDNA\, an open-source tool for reproducible quality assessment tailored to bicycle infrastructure data. BikeDNA performs either a standalone analysis of one data set or a comparative analysis between OpenStreetMap and a reference data set\, including feature matching. Data quality metrics are considered both globally for the entire study area and locally on grid cell\, thus exposing spatial variation in data quality with a focus on network structure and connectivity. Interactive maps and HTML/PDF reports are generated to facilitate the visual exploration and communication of results. \nBikeDNA is based on open-source python libraries and Jupyter notebooks\, requires minimal programming knowledge\, and supports data quality assessments for a wide range of applications – from urban planning to OpenStreetMap data improvement or transportation network research. In this talk we will introduce how to use BikeDNA to evaluate and improve local data sets on bicycle infrastructure\, examine what BikeDNA can teach us on the current state of data for active mobility\, and discuss the importance of local quality assessments to support increased uptake of open and crowd-sourced data.

SUMMARY:Roberta at Reykjavik University
DESCRIPTION:Quantitative understanding of success and inequality through network science\nThe unprecedented availability of large-scale datasets on human activities and interactions has enabled us to quantitatively understand how networks shape success and drive inequalities in various fields. In this talk\, I will highlight the crucial role of network science in comprehending social phenomena\, particularly in the realms of art and science. Specifically\, I will present a series of findings on the evolution of careers in the arts\, utilizing a random walk model that successfully predicts artists’ success even twenty years into the future. I will then shift my focus to the COVID-19 pandemic and the advent of Large Language models\, discussing how they have amplified network inequalities in science. Through these examples\, I will demonstrate the importance of network science in measuring\, predicting\, and designing algorithms for social phenomena.

SUMMARY:Luca Aiello at FRCCS 2023
DESCRIPTION:Coloring Social Relationships\nSocial 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 from conversational text but mostly focusing on sentiment or topic mining\, techniques that fall short on either conciseness or exhaustiveness. We propose a theoretical model of 10 dimensions (colors) of social relationships that is backed by decades of research in social sciences and that captures most of the common relationship types. We trained a deep-learning model to accurately classify text along these ten dimensions. By applying this tool on large-scale conversational data\, we show that the combination of the predicted dimensions suggests both the types of relationships people entertain and the types of real-world communities they shape. We believe that the ability of capturing interpretable social dimensions from language using AI will help closing the gap between the oversimplified social constructs that existing social network analysis methods can measure and the multifaceted understanding of social dynamics that has been developed by decades of theoretical research.

SUMMARY:CSH Vienna workshop: Sustainable mobility
DESCRIPTION:We are organizing a workhop in Vienna! \nSustainable Mobility: Data\, Networks\, and Complexity\n \nWhy 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 are the implications of sustained delay? Which data are we missing\, how should we grow network infrastructure\, and how to speed up the sluggish political process? The climate crisis demands pressing answers\, which we explore here with state-of-the-art insights in Data/Network/Complexity Science and Urban Planning. \nThis workshop brings together researchers and policymakers from Vienna and Copenhagen who work on understanding the best pathways towards sustainable mobility with focus on cycling\, or who are developing tools/methods supporting that aim. Our speakers will cover: Mobility and infrastructure data quality\, bicycle network planning\, politics & activism\, systemic complexity approaches.

SUMMARY:NERDS Seminar with Louisa Jane Di Felice
DESCRIPTION:Talk: The issue of scale in anarchy: an information perspective \nAnarchist 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 societies is viewed as unavoidable by mainstream historians\, anthropologists\, and theorists of “social complexity”. However\, many anarchist collectives operate through networks that can be vast in scale and scope and may provide the blueprint for alternative social configurations. From an information perspective\, these groups operate in a decentralized way\, exchanging information locally and distributing decision-making across multiple nodes. This research aims to use agent-based modelling (ABM) as a tool for utopia-building. In the first stage\, interviews with members of collectives in the neighbourhood of Vallcarca (Barcelona)\, are used to shape an ABM that abstracts the main information characteristics of their decision-making configurations\, building on the theory of multi-scale systems. In the second stage\, the model will be used to explore alternative futures and configurations with the same collectives\, up-scaling current practices as a means to discuss possible realities outside of the dominant one. Questions of interest include how to deal with global issues (e.g.\, climate change) without deferring to delegation\, how to include randomness in decision-making as a way to dilute power\, and how to maintain consensus-based approaches in large-scale collectives. \nBio \nLouisa Jane Di Felice is a post-doctoral researcher in the Autonomous Critical and Embedded Systems (ACES) group at Télécom Paris\, part of the Computer Science and Networks Department\, and in the Political Ecology Lab at the University of Barcelona\, in the Department of Economic History and Institutions. She holds a PhD from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) of the Autonomous University of Barcelona\, where she studied the implications of complexity for energy models at the science-policy interface. Her main research interests include hierarchy theory and theories of multi-scale systems\, complexity\, sustainability and environmental justice.

SUMMARY:NERDS Seminar with Jonas Juul
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAbstract:\nDo 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 by different kinds of content diffusing online. Here we demonstrate the importance of controlling for correlations in the statistical properties being compared. In particular\, we show that previously reported structural differences between diffusion paths of false and true news on Twitter disappear when comparing only cascades of the same size; differences between diffusion paths of images\, videos\, news\, and petitions persist. Paired with a theoretical analysis of diffusion processes\, our results suggest that in order to limit the spread of false news it is enough to focus on reducing the mean “infectiousness” of the information.

SUMMARY:NERDS Seminar with Francisco Rowe
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFrancisco Rowe will introduce the research project ITINERANT: InequaliTies IN Experiencing uRbAn fuNcTion: \nITINERANT aims to understand how different socio-economic groups experience\, access and benefit from the wide array of functions cities offer. To this end\, ITINERANT uses machine learning and combines a variety of traditional and digital footprint sources to measure urban function and capture how people move through these functional spaces. Understanding of how people use urban spaces is key to develop policies that ensure that benefits in accessibility to urban amenities are shared fairly across society. In the talk\, we will describe the key findings of the project. First\, we will describe the extent to which people move from urban areas to suburbs and further afield during COVID-19. Second\, we will present a novel approach to create a classification of urban function. Third\, we will show differences in the patterns of how people from different deprivation areas move across ranging types of urban functions.

SUMMARY:Michael and Ane at CASA UCL Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Bicycle networks: From data quality assessment to computational analysis\nCycling 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 of data quality in cycling infrastructure data sets\, focusing on the structural network perspective. Then\, we explore how such data enable the development of computational methods for automated bicycle network analysis and planning.

SUMMARY:NERDS SEMINAR: Claudia Acciai
DESCRIPTION:Claudia Acciai is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Sociology (UCPH). In her talk\, she will discuss status biases\, focusing on how nationality\, institutional affiliation\, gender and ethnicity can become status signals that\, when salient\, implicitly influence behaviors in the science system. Claudia’s presentation will draw on recent findings from two studies: a field experiment that investigates open science behaviors and attitudes\, and an observational study that quantifies the differential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the duration of peer-review process for scientists at different strata of the institutional-prestige hierarchy.

DESCRIPTION:Node Vector Distances: Methods and Applications\nMichele is an associate professor at IT University of Copenhagen since 2020. He mainly works on algorithms for the analysis of complex networks\, with methods spanning from Computer Science to physics\, and on applying the extracted knowledge to a variety of problems\, including economic development\, human mobility\, and the analysis of ideological polarization. His background is in Digital Humanities\, connecting new technologies with a classical education. He has a PhD in CS\, obtained in 2012 at the University of Pisa. In the past\, he visited Barabasi’s CCNR at Northeastern University\, and worked with Ricardo Hausmann for 6 years at the Center for International Development\, Harvard University. \n– \nHow quickly is a disease spreading through a social network? How diversified is a country in a network of related exported products? How polarized is the online discourse on social media? These seemingly unrelated questions can be answered with a common toolbox: they all require to compare different types of node attributes. In this workshop\, you will learn how to apply Node Vector Distance techniques: given two node attributes — represented as vectors — how far the two are on a network structure? Are they correlated when we take into account not only the value of a node itself\, but also the values of its neighbors? Or simply: how spread out in the network is an attribute? The workshop will make you familiar with ways to translate concepts such as Euclidean distance\, Pearson correlation\, and variance\, when the vectors do not live in an Euclidean space\, but on the complex landscape that is the topology of a network.

SUMMARY:Roberta Sinatra at Aarhus University\, The Science Studies Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Quantifying biases and inequalities in science\nEvery day our life is made easier by efficient algorithms that search and rank scientific information. Yet\, these algorithms have an issue: they are trained on citation data that is ingrained with human biases. Therefore the output is inherently biased too\, creating inequalities\, raising concerns of discrimination\, and harming economic growth. In this talk\, I focus on recent quantitative efforts in science studies to (1) uncover bias mechanisms in science\, (2) use this knowledge about biases to uncover inequalities in the scientific enterprise\, and (3) create fair metrics and algorithms.

SUMMARY:Keynote by Luca Aiello at International Conference on Discovery Science 2022
DESCRIPTION:Coloring Social Relationships\nSocial 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 from conversational text but mostly focusing on sentiment or topic mining\, techniques that fall short on either conciseness or exhaustiveness. We propose a theoretical model of 10 dimensions (colors) of social relationships that is backed by decades of research in social sciences and that captures most of the common relationship types. We trained a deep-learning model to classify text along these ten dimensions\, and we reached performance up to 0.98 AUC. By applying this tool on large-scale conversational data\, we show that the combination of the predicted dimensions suggests both the types of relationships people entertain and the types of real-world communities they shape.  \nWe believe that the ability of capturing interpretable social dimensions from language using AI will help closing the gap between the oversimplified social constructs that existing social network analysis methods can measure and the multifaceted understanding of social dynamics that has been developed by decades of theoretical research.
