Complex Systems Summer School 2016-Panel Questions

2016-06-23T16:57:50Z

Correa: Simple

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2016}}

Please post questions you might have for our panel. Panel includes Simon DeDeo, Josh Grochow, Elly Power, Jessica Flack

 
<ol>
<li> Compared with machine learning or data mining, we may feel that complex systems have less practical applications in enterprise development. How to better adopt the theories and profits of complexity into practical production and make this field better as a demand-driven research, as well as research guided production?</li>
<li> Systems like social activities and economic activities are quite complex. The trends of agent-based modelling usually simplifies or ignores many mechanisms and conditions, which are far away from real situations. Can we use these "toy models" to solve real world financial crisis, fight against terrorist organizations or protect civil rights?</li>
<li> How do you distinguish between research you'd consider to be complexity science or not? </li>
<li> Is it true that doing interdisciplinary research makes it harder to find an academic position? What advice do you have looking for academic jobs when you sit between disciplines (besides, of course, getting a position at SFI). </li>
<li> A paraphrasis of an Einstein's quote was used in one of our lectures: “Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.” When is a toy model too simple? When is a data analysis too simple? </li>
<li> </li>
<li> </li>
<li>Complexity science has roots in the physics. In applying its tools and methods in social science, what kinds of change of perspectives are needed? Can you show some examples? </li>
<li> </li>
<li> </li>

=June 24 @ 5:00pm - 1:00am Meow Wolf expedition: House of Eternal Return exposition and Concert at night: Nosaj Thing & Lucky Dragons=

Apparently a mindblowing non-linear interactive exposition in the day and awesome concert at night, so we can do both in one go or you can join us for either ; )

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/
and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

=June 25: Santa Fe Pride (on the Plaza)=

Santa Fe Pride is June 25 - there's a parade at 1 PM and then a festival on the Plaza immediately afterwards (1:30-ish). I've never been to a Pride and would love to go check it out, if anybody else is interested. - Ellen

=June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip=

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 25th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2016 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Plan to leave SJC after lunch on Saturday, arrive at the park around 4pm, hike till sunset; and then spend the night at Farmington (hotel/hostel), get back to the park for sunrise (~5:30am - 7am), and then head back to SJC in time for Sunday brunch.

Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.
*Cheng Jin

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Danilo. I have italian driving license. Some say I can drive.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.
*Jelena - I can drive
*Moriah - I can drive

=Other Ideas=

* Fractal Foundation Fractal Shows (http://fractalfoundation.org/fractal-shows/): First Friday in Albuquerque (July 1), Fourth Friday in Los Alamos (June 24)

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

* Santa Fe Opera!! options: 8:30pm start Fri July 1, Wed July 6 La Fanciuall del West (Puccini); Sat July 2 Don Giovanni

* 4th of July on Santa Fe Plaza

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Danilo. I have italian driving license. Some say I can drive.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.
*Jelena - I can drive
*Moriah - I can drive

=Other Ideas=

* Fractal Foundation Fractal Shows (http://fractalfoundation.org/fractal-shows/): First Friday in Albuquerque (July 1), Fourth Friday in Los Alamos (June 24)

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/
and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

Santa Fe Pride is June 25 - there's a parade at 1 PM and then a festival on the Plaza immediately afterwards (1:30-ish). I've never been to a Pride and would love to go check it out, if anybody else is interested. - Ellen

=June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip=

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 25th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2016 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

=June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip=

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.

Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

=July 1 Opera=

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

==Other Ideas==

* Fractal Foundation Fractal Shows (http://fractalfoundation.org/fractal-shows/): First Friday in Albuquerque (July 1), Fourth Friday in Los Alamos (June 24)

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

==Other Ideas==

* Fractal Foundation Fractal Shows (http://fractalfoundation.org/fractal-shows/): First Friday in Albuquerque (July 1), Fourth Friday in Los Alamos (June 24)

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

* Santa Fe Opera!! options: 8:30pm start Fri July 1, Wed July 6 La Fanciuall del West (Puccini); Sat July 2 Don Giovanni

We'll then head up through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Road_to_Taos High Road to Taos] and see some nice old towns, then lunch in Taos, see the Rio Grande Gorge, go to art museums,.

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

- Hey JP, any recommendation for good hangouts? I know folks have gone to Second Street but I've heard margaritas at the Shed are good (that's more of a restaurant, though, IIRC). - Ellen

Second Street, Draft Station, Thunderbird, Secreto are all pretty cool hangouts. There's also the Violet Crown movie theater with a *huge* beer selection and nice open space down in the Railyard. -JP

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/
and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

==June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 25th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2016 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

==Other Ideas==

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
*Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
*Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

==Meta-Epistemology and the Complexity of Research Areas==

===Keywords===
epistemology, complexity, mathematics, irreducibility, methodology, models

===Summary===

There are a lot of reasons modeling techniques develop in different fields, some of which include: 1) certain techniques and methodologies are more suited for the phenomena being studied by the field, 2) there's often historical path dependence of modeling methodologies that may or may not be suitable for the phenomena being studied by the field, and 3) it's difficult to determine what kinds of instruments are suitable to the phenomena, so researchers may copy the methodologies of other fields. This project would be a general effort to categorize fields by the complexity of the phenomena being studied (obviously we will have to break many fields into subfields), determine whether the methodologies historically and currently being employed by the mainstream of the field are suitable for the level of complexity of the phenomena being studied, and look at the replication rate for mainstream findings on real data in the field to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of unsuitable methodologies and the lack of replicability.

==Cities as Ecologies of Plans==
===Keywords===
ecology, economics, cities, civil engineering

===Summary===
The idea that the macro economy is an ecology of interacting plans has been gaining force among heterodox, complexity-aware economists. Similarly, cities are increasingly understood as not only having ecologies, but as ecological systems themselves. The project would be to create an agent-based model (likely in NetLogo) that bridges between the literature in economics and civil engineering, envisioning cities as ecologies of interacting plans.

Plans are created by individuals as a kind of dynamic chain of actions and strategies to attain some kind of goal. Goals can be anything: money, love, power, career, altruistic ends. Plans interact with the plans of others: if you want to move into a city, all other things being equal and assuming no vacancies, you need someone else to move out. In that sense, your plan to move in is coordinated with someone else's plans to move out. The plans and goals of people who move in/out of and live in cities directly affect the city as an ecological system. A suggested model: look at how a city's resources, spatial distribution, and other metrics are affected by the plans (dynamic strategies) and goals of its inhabitants. Is a lack of overall coordination (disharmony with the plans/goals of other inhabitants) with negative consequences for other inhabitants reflected in the ecological system of the city?

==Inferring the Structure of a Network==
===Keywords===
critical infrastructure, information theory, network theory, agent-based model

===Summary===
Deregulation of the US power grid has opened the door to speculators who trade futures contracts that are based on the minute-by-minute price difference for a megawatt hour between two generators (think nodes). The generators are connected by transmission lines (think edges) that must, in general, follow Kirchhoff's laws of current and potential. We want to explore what information exists in these location based prices regarding the structure of the underlying network of generators, consumers, and transmission lines. Public historical data on the price at each generator and the power both forecasted (24 hours ahead) and realized at each generator exists for certain regions of the US and I have built a small database of 2 years worth of this data for roughly 15 zones of the New York interconnect. An interesting side note, the power forecasted and demanded at one particular node tends to be periodic and easy to forecast. The price (which theoretically is driven by demand) at that same node exhibits multifractal properties, apparent heavy-tails in the increments, and long memory. The process that converts bids, offers, and the physical constraints of Kirchhoff's laws is usually a linear program that minimizes cost across all generators that can contribute to the demand.

Economist have noted that an abundance of natural resources (usually non-renewables) is apparently linked to worse economic indicators, an absence of democracy, and a number of other negative effects regarding the general health of the nation or region. A few of us have discussed exploring the dynamics of this alleged curse using the tools of complexity science. One possible question to explore is does the resource curse exhibit self-similarity at smaller scales of time, resource quantity, and competitors for the resource? Anecdotally one could think of this as the difference between say a mineral rich African nation and a Walmart store on Black Friday. Both have finite resources and competitors attempting to reap the resource while it exists. And both have been known to invoke violent responses.

We are open to exploring any other ideas related to the resource curse.

== Emergence of symmetry==

I'm super fascinated by the question of why there is so much symmetry in nature? For example, in the biological system, what are the evolutionary models that can explain such high percentage of species which exhibit certain type of (approximate) morphological symmetry? What can we learn from this mechanism?

Inspired by different examples in nature, we can try to invent network models that exhibit emergence of certain symmetry and structure formation. We can also analysis the chaotic behavior and entropy flow in the model we invented, and might discover some new phenomena of emergence!

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Language evolution in online fanfiction communities ==
=== Summary ===
I have a dataset containing fanfictions in the top ~40 most popular fandoms from Archive of Our Own(archiveofourown.org/media). The data includes:

(1) Fanfiction texts (original and moderately preprocessed), within a time range between 2010-now (since AO3 was founded).

(2) ~ 25 metadata fields, some of which include: Kudos, comments, bookmarks, publish date, tags, rating, categories, etc.

(3) The texts represented as topic distribution by buiding LDA models (ongoing, will be completed soon).

My current work with it focus on studying the influence of readers' preference on the writings being produced. Meanwhile, I will be happy to share the data and looking for other ideas/questions that may be associated with it.

== Movie citation network ==

New subpage here:
[[Movie Project|Movie Project]]

=== Summary ===
IMDB has an open access dataset at: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces. Our project is based on the dataset and we have current several potential research questions:

1) The sleeping beauty of movies. Based on the "shoutouts" of one movie to another, a "citation" network exists that connects millions of movies. The "sleeping beauties" had been identified in scientific paper citation networks, which are papers that became frequently cited a long time after publication. We are interested in finding similar (or different) patterns in the movie citation network.

2) If atypical combination of movie properties/citations/genres could predict its popularity.

3) A more general idea is the gender issue in movie industry, such as the different network structures of actor and actress.

We welcome any feedback!

==Emergence of power structures in networks==
===Summary===

Note: This is now a separate project from the prestige goods project.

High-level questions: How do (social) power structures emerge in complex networks? How do hierarchies restrict/modify information flow through networks? How does structural power (e.g., due to network hierarchy) differ/relate to intrinsic power (e.g. some nodes/people have more "skill/worth" regardless of their network position).

One idea I have is looking at the interplay of these dynamics by simulating (social learning) games on networks; for example, games where agents have to share information to estimate the worth of external items (like stocks, prestige goods etc.).
Other ideas would involve analysis of how information flow is affected by hierarchy etc.
 

At the first meeting we talked about how power is multi-faceted, and informed by multiple interaction or resource types. I really liked the idea of taking a multi-layer approach, running games on multiple networks (that may also relate to each other) which both contribute to power structure/hierarchy.

== A genetic model of music evolution==

===Keywords===
mutation, selection, recombination, cultural evolution, market ecology, music

===Summary===
We would like to build a genetic inspired model to describe the mechanism of music evolution in history. Basic idea is that different elements of characters in music is analogous to genes. Mutation creates new music character and language material, hence it is the source of musical diversity (genetic diversity). Migaration and cultural exchange propagate a music style to different community. Recombination allows different elements to form certain combinations. Natural selection, which is influenced by audiences' musical culture background, aesthetic values and market ecology. Selection chooses certain combination over others and when the number of differences reaches a critical point, it can be identified as a new style.

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Quantifying Trust==
===Keywords===
Agent Based Modeling, Information Theory, Game Theory
===Summary===

To me there are some simple rules of trust:

# The more we trust someone the less questions we are asking about their activity
# By trusting someone, a person reduces the amount of information he needs to process. e.g. If a pedestrian does not have a clear view of the road then he might follow other pedestrians in front of him. By following them he is reducing the amount of information he needs to process.
# If there is a "perfect trust" in a social system, then the system seems to be more ordered. For example in a military system a soldier blindly obeys the order of its officers. This makes the system more ordered.
# On the other hand the less there is trust the more disorder in the social system. So quantifying trust could be a way to quantify the disorderedness or entropy of a social system.
# But there is a catch. It is easier to propagate a misinformation in a system where everyone blindly trusts each other.

My intuition is that we can use both information theory and game theory to quantify trust this way. The problem is I don't have a dataset yet that can validate the rules above. But we can use the above observations to formulate an agent based model where we can tune the parameters to see if we can get any interesting observation.

Are there shortcuts to building trust? For example, in the area of financial instruments, can the use of credit ratings substitute for more detailed due diligence? What are the implications of such short cuts? [Nai Seng]

== Modeling cultural evolution through 150 years of language change ==
===Keywords===
cultural evolution, language, multilingual
===Summary===

'''This project has evolved. See the Slack channels for details.'''

I have a clean dataset of word evolution for 3 languages (English, French, German); this data is built from historical text (books mostly) and includes data for all words that are reasonably frequent/popular in that decade (more than 10000 words per decade). For every decade from 1850-2000 I have:
# word frequency/popularity
# historical "word vectors" (capture word meaning/semantics)
# word sentiment scores (whether a word is has a positive or negative connotation; English only)
# word part of speech tags (e.g., is a word used more as a noun or a verb in a given year).

I also know of a bunch of other datasets on language change etc. that might be useful, depending on the groups interest.

I am totally willing to give all this data away freely (even if I am not actively involved in the project).
The project website with my data is: nlp.stanford.edu/projects/histwords/

Also, this is closely related to my thesis, so I would be relatively hands off, but I know of lots of data, references, etc. that can get everyone going.
I work on more of the observational/data-driven side of things, though, and it sounds like there is a lot of interest in building more of a cognitive and/or ABM model that explains/predicts the patterns we see in real data (ambitious goal).
I think that is an awesome idea!

===Group Contact===
There are two slack channels:
* language-evolution: This is for general data-driven project ideas, e.g. correlating language change with cultural events (Harrison Smith has some neat ideas).
* language-abm: This is for discussing a project around ABM models of language change (Matteo Morini would be a good contact for this side of things)

=== Interested participants, please sign up below and join the Slack channel [sfi-csss-2016.slack.com/messages/language-evolution, email Will if not yet on Slack] ===
[[Matteo Morini]] I've always wanted to work on evolutionary linguistics. You have the (coolest) dataset; now we need to devise a model. Perhaps an ABM (w/geographical, metaphorical, network-based space) where people settle, meet, migrate, adjust to new words/morphemes. The (ambitious) goal would be to trim the model as to mimic the empirical data. Sounds feasible? Btw, we will need to figure out (a.k.a. fake ^_^) a way to deal with spatializing the non-geographically referenced dataset. Who's in?
[[Juste Raimbault]] @Matteo would be totally interested in tackling this question of generating synthetic data (hybrid data) of spatial distribution for populations at given time periods (but already involved in two projects, so maybe ok if it is not intricated into the ABM and just the parametrization step) ; have at least historical data for French cities 1830-2000.

Anjali Tarun (anjalibtarun@gmail.com) I've encountered this paper (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6014/176.long) that quantitatively analyzes culture using millions of digitized books. It would be interesting to see how language affect and distinguish each one's culture. [Will: The data on my web page is actually based on an updated version of the data in that paper.]

== Semantic word game ==
===Keywords===
cognitive science, language, games, network routing, free association

===Summary===
See http://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/ to play the game. The goal is, given a starting word, navigate through forced choices to a known target word. The global idea is to understand the effect of context and how individuals can manipulate semantic space online (like we constantly have to do in natural conversation. A project idea is to construct random models where we can see influence of the target word. For example, if we have directed search from the start node to the end node as well as a directed search path from goal to start, can we combine these paths to capture human performance.

Data is available for download at https://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/tasks/export and looks like (JSON)

== Cooperative game: Modeling communication and innovation ==
===Keywords===
agent based models, network science, cooperation, iterative games

===Summary===
Data available.
Game design:Each player is tasked with building a 'team' of 5-6 characters out of a league of 40-60 players. The team receives a numeric (deterministic) score. This is played iteratively for a fixed (known) set of rounds. Cooperation comes in because at any time each player can see the teams and scores of all other players and may copy, select characters from or otherwise utilize all other players teams. The goal is to maximize the score of the group.
Group size varies from 1 to 9 people in a session. Repeated games are played between the same team and difficult varies systematically within a full set of games.

Research question is still not nailed down but some ideas
model the communication structure (in terms of copying other peoples choices) in a network and look if certain structural elements are correlated with improved performance
model learning and improvement in terms of sharing information over iterative runs and across group size
look at instances of sweeping change as innovation and study propagation of this event through the group.

== Effect of observer on their environment ==
=== Keywords ===
uncertainty, observation
===Summary===
I'm interested in looking at how an observer affects their environment or the system they are studying. I've talked to a few people about this, but the idea may need more refinement to make a good project.

I've added a channel named observer_effects to the SFI CSSS 2016 slack group.

===Other Ideas===
If anyone has more specific ideas, please add them here.

JE: My perspective on this is through information theory: information transfer from self-past to self-future, conditioned on self-present. or something. This would require that information to be transferred through the environment. This perspective does not require the "self" to be an "observer" per se, but I expect they are intimately related.

== Temporal social networks (and dialogues) in film ==
===Keywords===
movies, films, social network analysis, pop culture
===Summary===

I have (or know of) three cool datasets for analyzing social networks and interactions of characters in films (i.e., the "social" networks of the characters in the movies, based on who appears with and talks with who).
* Dataset 1: pre-processed dialogues from around 300 movies + interesting IMBD metadata (this dataset is public; www.mpi-sws.org/~cristian/Cornell_Movie-Dialogs_Corpus.html).
* Dataset 2: detailed information on the temporal scene structure (who is on screen when + scene breaks etc.) for thousands of movies + metadata (e.g., rotten tomatoes scores); this data is more private/sensitive and is currently somewhat messy, but we can definitely use it for this project. It should be easy to extract dynamic networks from which characters are on screen together.
* Dataset 3: high-level static (i.e., non-temporal) network structures for character interactions in 700 movies (this dataset is public; www.moviegalaxies.com; not totally clear how the data was constructed).

I think this data could give some really interesting insights into the art of storytelling and motifs/archetypes that re-occur.

This is only tangentially related to my usual PhD work (I just happen to know of the data), so any high-level thoughts on what would be interesting to do with this data are welcome! (Feel free to edit/add things here). A couple things I thought of:
* How do structures of movie social networks predict genre, rating, box office success, country of production, etc.
* (Temporal) network motifs: what are the common patterns of different types of films?
* Movie social networks vs. real life social networks.

==Emergence of project groups in CSSS 2016==
===Keywords===
subgroups, team participation, satisficing, networks

===Summary===
We want to model team emergence in cross-disciplinary academic research.
- Is diversity important?
- What makes teams productive? What makes teams fun?
- How do teams form information networks?
- How do members satisfice?
- How do members select their teams and how does that align with success of the group?
- What are the conditions for maverick rigor?

Merged from another project on same topic
field study of group formation in Summer Schools
we can use data on sex, nationality, profession and bio sketches
data on previous summer schools could be available as well

([[Simon Carrignon]] about the bio I was playing with it today: [https://github.com/simoncarrignon/bio-csss/blob/master/wiki.py | here] some lines of python code to grab the bio of all the people of this year. I played with mallet and the basic R cluster tools and it gives some stuff like the tree on the right [[File:Tree.png|100px|thumb|right|tree test]] there is funny things if one look carefully, but is really just naive tests I am not a specialist at all. But at least the python code can be usefull)

There is a nice paper about collective intelligence http://science.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/686
which can also be useful

We checked with Juniper and she can provice data for sex,nationality, science interest, but probably only going back to 2011

==Network and language dynamics of Reddit (Correlations between cultural and structural properties of communities))==
===Summary===

'''If someone (not Will) wants to lead/organize this that would be great! I would love to provide assistance, but it is very related to my PhD, so I want to try to branch out a bit :)'''

I have a cleaned dataset of all Reddit (www.reddit.com) comments from 2009 through 2014 (Reddit is a very popular social media forum with >30 million users; it is organized into thousands of user-moderated "subreddits", which are topically-focused communities).
The data includes all the text of the comments, usernames, the upvotes, and the thread structures (so networks can be constructed).
There are many interesting questions that could be investigated with the data, and I would love to hear ideas! (The data is totally public, and I am willing to share even if I don't work on the project). 

I have done a lot of pre-processing and preliminary analysis on a manageable and very clean subset of all 2014 comments for 1200 mid-to-large subreddits (about 50Gb).
My background is in natural language processing and network mining, and I have lots of preliminary analysis/machinery for measuring linguistic signals in the data.

One high-level idea I have is to look at the relationship between sociolinguistic/cultural features of a community and the dynamic network interaction structures (e.g., clustering of comment-reply networks).
I have a ton of sociolinguistic variables that could be used, e.g. how "polite" the language is or how much people use "we" vs "I".

Another cool project would be looking at conflict and/or anti-social behavior (again, I have some linguistic features that I think could be helpful for this).

== The assembly of plant-pollinator networks==
===Keywords===
networks, mutualisms, ecology, restoration, succession, assembly
===Summary===
I have a 10 year dataset of ~1500 observations of pollinators (bees, flies, butterflies, wasps etc.) visiting plants in a native plant restorations (hedgerows) in the Central Valley of CA. The assembling communities are paired with unrestored field margins (controls) and mature (non-assembling) hedgerows. The goal would be to examine how and why the structure of the network is changing through time. How are the individual species changing their interaction patterns? What does this mean for the topology/resilience of the network? There is also a spatial dimension (the meta-population dynamics of the networks?) that could be explored.

== Early Warning Signals in a Disease Network==
===Keywords===

===Summary===
In 2011 a major avian influence outbreak occurred in the domestic ostrich industry in the western cape of South Africa. This outbreak resulted in massive losses to the industry, and the eradiation of a significant number of farms. I have published papers looking at how the movement of birds may have caused the network to become more vulnerable over time (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0086973), and also looked at how the system self organized following the crash (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/1365-2664.12486/asset/jpe12486.pdf?v=1&t=ipgcjacz&s=b6f493d011a1e9cafa5849eadd8cb8d59be7b055).

I would like to investigate whether there were early warning signals of a regime shift. This work could relate to anticipating critical transitions, and looking to see whether this could present an empirical example of the presence of early warning signals.

I currently have data from 2005-2014 but could easily obtain data until 2016. I am really open to ideas of how to work with this data.

==Tracking the migrations of urban hipsters (aka spatiotemporal analysis and scaling of labor)==
===Summary===
This is linked to the "Viscosity of Labor" question on the MITRE Challenge Questions list, which is copied below: 
Given US Census collected data can we find relationships between labor and urban scale? 

"Using US Census data (and other sources) a number of interesting scaling laws have been discovered that relate to the dynamics of urban human social systems. These scaling laws relate to such things as the generation of intellectual property, income, tax revenue, crime, and so on. What about labor? Does the scaling seen in income come from new or shifting categories of labor or simply increasing the income within an existing (static?) distribution of labor categories? Is there a spatial component? Does the spatial distribution change with the scale of the urban area?" 
 
The above is the complete question from MITRE, but we can adjust/focus as needed depending on interest and ideas. I have a sample analysis in another context from a colleague (who actually came up with this idea) which gives some good starting ideas. One thing I would like to look into is appropriate diversity measures for labor distributions. 
 
There is plenty of US Census data available for this:
* BLS Standard Occupational Classification categories (http://www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm) - these are the 23 high-level categories used to classify occupations in Census datasets - first widespread rollout was in 2000, and the categories were revised in 2010 (but the high-level categories are straightforward to reconcile)
* US Decennial Census data (http://www.census.gov/2010census/)
* American Community Survey (ACS) data (http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/) - 5-year estimates are probably most suitable
We would probably start at the county level and go finer (census tract/block group) if time allows. 
Matching the labor categories across census years, etc. is going to be the main challenge. 
MITRE and SFI are actively working together to improve the 2030 Census, so we can reach out to SFI directly on this.

== A preliminary model of the coupled human-natural system of swidden agriculture ==

=== Summary ===

Swidden agriculture, also known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash-and-burn Slash-and-burn] is about as old as agriculture itself. It exists in diverse variants practiced by 200 to 500 million people in different regions of the world; all of these forms involve the slashing and burning of portions of forest, hence its name. There has been a historic controversy regarding swidden agriculture, with some publications presenting it as a destructive force that contributes to global deforestation and other publications highlighting its sustainability and ecological benefits when practiced as a means of subsistence. This controversy shows the need of tools to further research and assess the benefits and costs of swidden agriculture.

This project idea will address the following research question: How do human activities interact with the ecological landscape and the sustainability of swidden agriculture?

This project idea aims to produce a simple, preliminary model with the following components:

* A simplified social network of swidden farmers exchanging agricultural labor, inspired by [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=12140541436579423216&hl=en&as_sdt=0,32 Downey (2010)]
* A landscape in the form of a 2-D grid in which cells are patches of forest / crops

Possible model outputs include:

* Yearly harvest
* Biodiversity
* Yearly biomass production in forest and fallows
* A representative indicator of the "net production" of the complete system
* Sustainability of the complete system

Biodiversity, biomass production, and sustainability will need reasonable, simple definitions that follow modern literature on the subject.

=== Software and language ===

Every idea is worth discussing. NetLogo might be an option that fits with our limited calendar. Git and GitLab would be used to manage the source code.

== Modeling within-city residential migration ==

===Keywords===
residential mobility, neighborhood change, network analysis

=== Summary ===

I have a few datasets laying around that I cleaned for my thesis (and I’m not using for that purpose) and a few more that I obtained but never cleaned. All of them are data for the city of Madrid (Spain) on various geographical and time scales/resolutions, most of them related to social/environmental/demographic variables. This includes socioeconomic, demographic and other type of data at the smallest unit available (~1500 people). I also have geocoded data on all housing units in the city (including size and year of construction) and geocoded data on all commercial properties (including open/closed and licensed use). Most of this data I have from 2005 to 2015 with yearly updates. The commercial spaces area is available from 2012 to 2016 with monthly updates from 2015 onwards. I also have data at other levels (bigger areas) related to occupation and other socioeconomic variables. 

'''The new thing I'm proposing is using a dataset I'm not using for my thesis which has information on yearly residential migration patterns within the city of Madrid. This includes information about how many people have moved from each neighborhood to any other neighborhood by level of education. If we consider neighborhoods as nodes and people moving as weighted edges, I have the feeling we can use the tools of network analysis to see which neighborhoods are the most unstable/changing (i.e.: neighborhoods that are in certain network structures [motifs], neighborhoods that are more central, etc.). This can be then easily coupled with data from the other sources described above or below.''' This data is available from 2004 to 2014 with yearly updates. 
See an example of how this network would look here:
[[File:Network_ub_cities.png|200px|thumb|center]]

There are a few other I have not used yet (and don't plan to use for my thesis). All of them come from datos.madrid.es (let me know if you need help figuring out what's what!) 
'''Traffic''': dataset of traffic intensity in Madrid. This uses sensors placed in most traffic lights (~3600), and the dataset provides count of vehicles (and associated % capacity used) every 15 minutes, from 2013 to March 2016. Some of the data is messy (but they have a flag for unreliable data). 
'''Noise''': dataset of noise measured with ~30 static sensors, monthly averages, from 2000 onwards. 
'''Polution''': dataset of air pollution measured with ~24 static sensors, hourly averages, from 2001 onwards. 
'''Complaints''': dataset of complaints (such as not working traffic light, litter on the street, etc), from 2014-2016, geocoded and with precise date/time. 
'''Traffic infractions''': dataset of infractions 2014-2016, with address (geocoded in 2016) and with precise date/time.

I work on spatiotemporal data wherein I build a network based on the space and time separations between events in dynamical systems. I'm thinking if this method can be combined with your idea, taking into account the spatial aspect, as well as putting the economical issues (salary, opportunities, rental costs etc) in the weights of the edges. - [[Anjali Tarun]]

== Can we use metabolic networks to predict the next beneficial mutation?==
===ideas===
Richard Lenski (who is also associated with SFI) has evolved an coli population to use a new sugar source, and tracked their changes for 40000 generations. This is a widely studied dataset (>200 papers published on it already...) in one of the most widely studied biological system but there is still a lot we do not understand about it. For example although we know what genes evolved during the experiments, we do not know why it is these particular genes that changed. I think it would be cool to try to use genetic network (which is also very well understood) to try to understand how new mutations rising in frequency changes the performance of a bacteria, and how the previous state of performance changes what the next mutation should be.
The genetic interactions are pretty well mapped in e.coli.(Regulondb)
Also they claim that the performance plateaued, but the mutations that accumulated were still beneficial in the following paper. How did that happen? (Genome-wide Mutational Diversity in an Evolving Population of Escherichia coli)
From a more computer science perspective: 40000 generation for an iterative process doesn't seem like very long. Does the network structure of metabolism pathways allow rapid adaptation? What can we learn from these networks to apply to computer science problems?
These ideas are pretty raw... but I think something evolution related, that looks not just at a property of a system but also allow the system to change would be really cool.

== Complexity insights into Circular Economy ==

=== Keywords ===

Complexity economics, Network optimization, Urban systems, Agent-based modeling

=== Summary ===
The 'circular economy' is recent approach on questions of sustainability. The current 'take, make, waste' way of producing is considered to be not sustainable anymore. Current thoughts on 'closing the loop' mechanisms on producing and consuming are booming in many different academic fields. However, not yet from an integrated point of view. The idea of 'closing the loop' mechanisms corresponds to complex system paradigms, however complexity science has hardly been utilized in this field. In this project we want to start brainstorming on how complexity science can contribute to the field of circular economy. We think there are many ways in which complexity science can contribute, both in methods and in theory. Based on the competences in the group we would like to brainstorm on suitable research questions, that can range from very practical to theoretical issues.

=== Insights ===

''Please contribute here by adding your insights''

* (Juste) From the point of view of theoretical geography, I think this question directly enters the frame of the understanding of human settlements. Distribution of population and ressources in space and time is a fundamental question for which many theories have been proposed (Evolutive Urban theory, Scaling theories, Human territoriality, etc. among others) and that many disciplines have studied (economics, geography, planning, archeology, more recently physics). To my point of view this project has a strong component linked to this issue, as it tackles the question of sustainable territorial organizations and the possibility of the existence of closed subsystems. As a consequence, the study of circular economic systems should necessarily consider them as being, among others (1) multi-scalar, (2) non-ergodic and (3) non stationary [beside buzz-words : 1) urban systems exhibit by nature multi-scalarity, and thus a circular organization of ressources management would also be as it is necessarily embedded into an urban structure ; 2) path-dependancy and geographical context in urban systems generally imply that universality is difficult to establish and makes direct comparison hazardous : urban systems all over the world do not correspond to realizations of the same process at different times (see Pumain, 2012) ; 3) urban systems as economic systems in general are never at equilibrium and the nature and positions of attractors changes in times, i.e. parameters of the dynamic do not have a stationary distribution]. For these reasons, complexity approaches are a natural way to study them, and build associated models that include these properties.

* (Lorraine) Also from a cities perspective: taking the city as a non-equilibrium system, one could say the city forms a dissipative structure (Bristow and Kennedy, 2015) - this is also the case for ecosystems (Schneider and Kay, 1994). Dissipative structures maximize destruction of energy gradients (i.e., as the structure becomes more ordered/grows, more energy flows through). This has direct implications for increasing resource consumption in growing cities. Furthermore, scaling relationships for cities show that consumption of resources scales superlinearly with population (Bettencourt, 2013; Bettencourt et al, 2007), which implies that as cities grow, more and more energy is consumed. It would be interesting to explore the concept of a circular economy in such a system, i.e., can a "circular economy" policy mechanism actually change the organic dissipative/scaling nature of cities? Further, since ecosystems are also dissipative structures, are there examples of "circular economies" in ecology that can serve as a model for cities? Just some ideas, would love to discuss more.

* (Ben) I have worked on the topic of cleaning data sets for sustainable industrial production systems. Some of the work have been documented in http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/wiki/Industrial_Symbiosis_Data_Sources. I can also access to Europe Waste/pollution registry (stored as RDF format). It covers major industrial polluters in Europe.

== Using DOTA 2 video game data as a proxy to improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms ==
===Keywords===
Adaptive strategies, co-evolutionary systems, cybersecurity, DOTA 2, Inductive Game Theory, time-series analysis, potential NLP, potential genetic algorithms, potential network analysis
===Key Points===

'''Main question''': how to a) detect and b) quantify the rate of change of strategies in co-evolutionary systems?

'''Motivation''': improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms

'''Method''': use the competitive, strategic, multiplayer online game DOTA 2 data as a proxy for a cyber attack. Extract sets of strategies from game observables and develop an algorithm to detect when strategies change. This could be from within the games or from the drafting of characters (heroes).

===Summary===

Most metrics for scoring how well a given cyber intrusion algorithm performed involve static determinations after an attack has occurred and usually consist of simple false positive or false negative type scores. This does not enable the granularity necessary to improve these algorithms in appreciable ways. The goal is to develop new metrics to assess ''in real time'' when and how attackers adapt to the protective mechanisms they encounter so that the security teams can adjust their own defensive tactics more quickly. This could decrease the long lead time for patches and stave off additional damage.

Usable data from within the cyber domain that may help to strengthen detection algorithm scoring is nearly nonexistent. If actual attacks are documented in the real world, this data is rarely made available and may be network specific (hence, not generalizable). Thus, a proxy for the data is necessary. An online battle arena video game called Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) is a rich data source of real-time adaptive adversaries. Dota 2 is a strategic, competitive, multiplayer game where two teams of five individuals each compete against each other to complete objectives and to destroy the other team’s base in a time frame of ~20 to ~90 minutes. The players deploy various in-game and between-game tactics and procedures to achieve a specific measurable objective. Professional players vie for tens of millions of dollars in prize pools each year, and over 2 billion games have been played. Currently, we have access to a Mongo database with 500 GB of data (~2.5 million games played over one year).

This is akin to the classic ‘Red Queen hypothesis’ in evolutionary biology, but in this case we are interested in human behaviors where a strategy can be considered most generally as a ‘meme’ of sorts. Our hypotheses include: 1) a mapping exists between game observables and a set of strategies, 2) a measurable signal can be extracted from which to ascertain the adoption, stabilization, and decay of specific strategy traits, 3) changes in strategies occur over time, and 4) strategy changes are driven (at least in part) from behaviors of the opposing team. We postulate that testing these hypotheses will require an understanding of the co-evolutionary dynamics of the overall environment. In particular, the human behavioral components underlying the adversary/defense team actions will need to be assessed. The use of data from a multiplayer online game for this purpose assumes there is a valid mapping between the ‘game-space’ to ‘cyber-space’ behaviors from which useful inferences can be made. Through this exercise we hope to understand what types of data (if any) are useful for this purpose and how one might develop proxies to characterize strategies. Ultimately, we hope that the analysis could be applied against realistic data specific to a cyber intrusion.

See [[Media:mitredatadota.pdf |DOTA 2 DATA OVERVIEW]] for additional details.

===Technology===

Parsed data is in JSON format. We should have access to two databases: one is a mongo database discussed above for aggregated information (e.g., fights, deaths (characters respawn), characters played, items acquired, positions for the first 10 minutes, league IDs, player IDs, wins), and the second is raw data for every move and every action each player took throughout the entire game.

== Complexity in fruit fly learning behavior ==

=== Keywords ===
Fruit fly, learning, behavior, phenotypic space

=== Summary ===
I designed and built a high-throughput apparatus (currently in the process of patent application), in which I use laser to deliver heat stress to a single fly. When the fly moves, the laser turns on, when the fly stops, the laser shuts down. In order to avoid the heat, the fly has to learn not to move. Some flies have difficulty in making correct decisions under this stress. Different genetic mutations related to dopamine/serotonin systems may have contributed to the incorrect decisions made.

In the following figures, the first one is a fly’s movement trajectory before training; the second one is the same fly’s movement after one training (usually one fly will experience two training sessions or more).

Before training

[[Image:Beforetraining.jpg | 500px]]

After one training session

[[Image:Aftertraining.jpg | 500px]]

=== Objectives ===
The goal of this project is two-fold:
1) Quantify the complexity hidden in the learning curve of individual flies, and characterize variations from fly to fly.
2) Create a mathematical model for the fly’s learning process, and verify it in different animals, as well as to understand how mutation in the genome affect learning behavior from the perspective of parametric analysis in mathematical models.

My time-series trajectory measurement dataset consists of approximately 700 individual flies, including wide-type and mutant flies. It is a rich dataset ready to be analyzed.

== An Interdisciplinary Approach to Morphogenesis ==

=== Presentation ===

''This is not properly speaking a project proposition as the idea is quite ambitious and the result may be more at a theoretical level than concrete and practical developments. If some are really interested but are already busy with other projects, I think this one can be done without heavy time consumption if it stays at a theoretical level.''

The concept of morphogenesis is a powerful approach to many kind of complex systems. It aims at unveiling the processes responsible for the formation of patterns, and link the emergence of these patterns to functional properties of the system. This definition would sound wrong to anyone who has been involved with morphogenesis, as each field has its own definition and use of the concept. Proposing an interdisciplinary approach to this concept has already be done (see e.g. Bourgine & Lesne 2010, available [http://37.187.242.99/files/public/MorphogenesisBourgine.pdf here] ) but to my point of view its potential richness has not been exhausted. The idea would be to gather insights from various people having worked on morphogenesis and to study the potentialities of a self-consistent theoretical framework that would include the different views, and be autonomous as an approach to complex systems. The work would be both on an epistemological and theoretical level, but also potentially practical applications (e.g. develop an existing model someone has worked on, given the insights of other domains and of the theory).

==Patterns in Globalization==

===Keywords===
patterns, globalization, trade, fractals, trends, British empire, Trieste

===Summary===

What if can we see how is the face of globalization?
Globalization is a phenomenon lasting centuries. I believe we can begin to look better at its face from the data of trade.

Thanks to the scaling power of fractals, we can look for patterns into a small, well defined environments, such as the free ports.

I have the data regarding the flow of goods in the free port of Trieste in the 19th century and specifically those regarding Trieste and the British Empire.
Trieste was the main port of the Habsburg empire, one of the 10 most important port in the world at the time. In the 19th century we had a kind of globalization that was centred on the British financial system, so it is important to see the grade of integration with the British world System of a single free port out of the British empire.

I have data regarding:

vessels: tons and value of goods, flag, provenance and destination

goods: amount in tons and value of import-export for each typology,
general data regarding trade in Trieste

In addition I have the data regarding the Generali Insurance company. Based in Trieste, the company was and is one of most important insurance company in the world.
I have all its balance sheets from 1830s to World War 1. We can look at insurance on vessels and the goods they transported as a proxy for the general development of trade in Trieste and to evaluate trade risk over the time.

We can begin concentrating on 3 goods, for example, and to see what kind of networks of countries we find out, what trends they developed.
In general we can choose from the huge data set I have what can be more interesting to our purpose.
What models we can build, what math we can use and what tools fit better to find the patterns, which ultimately will led us to begin to see on the horizon the face of globalization.

These decisions are theorised to be based on; what they see is the best option for society (i.e. public health), what they see is the best option for themselves (financially or politically), what they are told is the best option by other decision makers, what they think based on previous experience, or a combination of various processes.

Health policy outcomes are determined collectively via interactions within policy systems. Policy actors (e.g. government departments, charities, businesses, media etc.) work to influence each other and final policy decisions. Policies with high levels of support are more likely to be implemented, while disagreement between actors may stop one decision and lead to another less beneficial public health outcome.

In cases of conflict, rival policy advocacy coalitions (network components) can form. Coalition structures may affect the flow of information between decision makers for future decisions, even when levels of conflict may be lower. This could in turn influence how well the policy process benefits public health, or benefits certain actors.

This project aims to explore how the characteristics of actors within policy systems can lead to different policy outcomes and system configurations. We aim to construct health policy networks based on existing research and policy theory, develop models to explain the evolution of policy networks over time, assess how our model outcomes compare to outcomes in real policy systems, and determine how changing parameters of the model could change the outcomes of the system.

The project will involve the following strands:

1. Identifying policy system structure; comparing UK and US policy systems (Based on political theory, health policy literature, or other suggestions from collaborators) 
2. Determining the ways in which actors take decisions (Based on data envelopment analysis, or other suggestions) 
3. Constructing a model to show changes in policy systems over time (Boolean Network, other suggestions) 
4. Determining are there certain characteristics of policy systems, policy actors, or policy options that lead to certain outcomes

The findings of the models could help us better understand conflict and coalitions in policy systems, variation in the use of evidence, and the emergence of communication breakdowns in policy enivronments.

==Complexity in Material Stocked in Japan==

===Keywords===
cities, industrial ecology, materials, GIS, fractals, scaling

===Summary===

There is an amazing GIS dataset from a group in Japan about material stocks in buildings and infrastructure -- cell size is 1km, it extends throughout the country over multiple years:

Tanikawa et al. 2015: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.12284/abstract

Looking at the map of the stocked materials, there are clear links to complexity (fractals, scaling, etc.). I have a copy of the dataset (but limited ArcGIS skills). It would be awesome to form a team to dive into this dataset using complexity tools. I think interesting things can be learned related to physical infrastructure growth and the mass of cities.

==Complexity and P = NP==
===Summary===

It seems intuitive that if I were to A) give you the output (and only the output) of the logistic map with paramater 4 and initial condition 0.4, you would have a hard time recovering the function and parameter set, and B) if I gave you the logistic map and parameter values, you could quickly verify that they produced the output. This project would be about studying the P=NP problem and the relevant information theory and chaos theory.

Admittedly this is something I know little to nothing about, and whole fields of time series analysis are devoted to recovering functions and their parameters: establishing that there exists a function that produces output that is not computably invertible but is easily verified would make a big statement on the P = NP idea. The activities of this group would be reading and understanding information theory and chaos theory and working towards a paper that provides some insight on P=NP and relevant complexity theory.

JE: I think symbolic regression could actually recover the return map rather quickly, although it would certainly be difficult (impossible) to confirm the uniqueness of this map. I'm very curious about this topic, but it could be as simple as a conversation with Jim Crutchfield sometime.

==Complexity in speech patterns==

===Summary===

Have you ever: 
- Been bored by listening to a monotone lecturer? 
- Been inspired by a dynamic motivational speaker? 
- Counted the number of “umms” in a conference talk? 
- Thought about how lovely it is to listen to Morgan Freeman? 
 
And more importantly, are you curious about what properties in speech patterns elicit these reactions? 
 
There are many properties in speech time series (fluctuations in tone, pattern of sound/silence, word pattern, etc. etc.). I’m interested in investigating patterns in these different properties, specifically how various complexity measures of speech relate to listener perception. 
 
Possible data: online lectures, political candidate debates or speeches (could be fun, especially given current politics) 
Possible measures of perception: “likes” or internet popularity, or a short study having CSSS participants rate short audio clips of people talking. 
*could also play around with speech simulations 
 
Other ideas welcome! 
* Was chatting with MITRE folks over dinner tonight and it was mentioned an experiment where people had to decide whether or not to exchange phone numbers based on listening to an audio clip with the words muffled out - only the speech pattern was perceptible. I can try to dig up the reference if anybody is interested. - Ellen

==Tournaments of the World==

===Summary===
Some of you may be aware of the (important) things that are going on in the world today: the NBA finals, Euro 2016, the 100th Copa America, the NHL finals, et al. A question that I am interested in is trying to deduce what the probability was that the winner of the tournament was going to win based on the data generated by the tournament (the results of all of the matches).

My ansatz is that this will involve some Bayesian analysis to create models of the various teams, then a Monte Carlo phase of simulating tournaments based on these models. Once this MC dataset is created, one can ask any number of fascinating questions (e.g., What is the predictive power of the tournament? How sensitive is it to the seeding? What is a better tournament algorithm? And, of course, how unlikely is it for the US to win a major soccer tournament?)

I feel like I need to work some more [complexity] into this idea. Suggestions are welcome. Perhaps there is something to be said regarding the information generated by sporting events (as they are not simply random events as insinuated above).

Note: This is not just about sports, but these tournaments provide a timely example of data that is akin to the human subject data that I often encounter in my work (so don't feel bad about joining in if sports aren't your thing).

==Removing bias from predictive algorithms==

===Keywords===
Machine learning, Justice policy

===Summary===
In many states across the US predictive algorithms are used in an effort to support judges in more objective decision making. These so called risk assessment algorithms are used to predict whether or not a person is likely to appear to court hearings, whether they are likely to repeat their criminal behavior after being released etc.. A recent [https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing report by ProPublica] shows that one of these algorithms, which is in use in different states, is heavily biased against Afro-Americans.

We are wondering whether there is a systematic way of removing such a bias, either by modifying the algorithm after training, or by systematically varying the set of criteria which is used to inform the algorithm in order to remove the bias without negatively affecting its predictive power.

A dataset of 7000 convicts and their criminal history after release from prison is available [[https://github.com/propublica/compas-analysis online]].

More generally, this could be used to avoid identifiability of specific groups in situations where such algorithms are used. This could apply for example to online shopping, in order to avoid discrimination.

Hi! this is really cool! I don't know if you have read the MITRE-SFI Challenge problems on Predicting Cascade Size in Financial Markets - using the framework of self-organized criticality. I'm putting a copy of it here, in case you get interested.

"Can we use simulation and history to predict the size of cascading events in the future? The dynamics of Self-Organized Critical (SOC) Systems are, by their very nature, very difficult to predict. The overall distribution of event sizes appears stationary but predicting the size of any given event is very difficult. For example, the canonical Bak Sandpile model shows a power law distribution for the sizes of sand avalanches. Although that distribution is stable, predicting the size of a given avalanche is very difficult (impossible?). Some have said that our critical infrastructure and financial markets are SOC systems. Others have claimed that they can predict the dynamics of these systems, especially financial markets. Does this make sense?
Can you take the Bak sandpile model and make any statements about future avalanche sizes based upon history? This prediction need not be specific, but could take the form of probabilities of larger or smaller avalanches occurring. Look broadly at the dynamics; for example, Sornette has found it useful to look at “draw-ups” and “draw-downs” or consecutive movements in the same direction (avalanches of increasing or decreasing size). Does this boil down to a sampling problem? If you had a time series of avalanches and some sense of the current state of the Bak sandpile could you do a better job of predicting the size of the next avalanche? If so, how accurate does your knowledge of the system need to be, does it need to include some information about where the next sand grain was likely to fall?" - [[Anjali Tarun | Anjali]]

== This is your side project! An interdisciplinary dialogue on modeling, from computer and theoretical models to their transposition into the empiric reality of the human glitch ==

===Keywords===
Interdisciplinarity, Epistemology, Fractals, Empirical Research

===Summary===

This project consists on creating real time Interdisciplinary dialogue. How we conceive and relate to our models, its pros and cons and, what can we learn from our different fields? What steps are needed for implementing awesome mathematical models into human reality so societies can actually integrate them? Hence, what are some of the gaps and challenges that we often encounter in the transmission of scientific knowledge into political, social and cultural systems?
What is the model for consciousness in your Complex Systems Field? Is it rational agents? Self emerging systems? Politics and health systems? Relation of bees and flowers? Human interactions in networks? Frankenstein supercomputers taking over the world? Sentient structures? Maybe no conscience at all! With this interdisciplinary soup we can see what emerges in our interactions.

You can think of it as a little oasis of reflection in the midst of the project frenzy…with a side project! So it’s taking a breath to reflect on what we are actually doing. And moreover, what does the application of our models imply? If what we do is useful, what use could that be, and how can we efficiently communicate that to people outside our fields (very often in the decision making processes or the receiving end).
In that sense, it is more like a workshop, with the final point integrating some of our exchanges. If the qualitative aspects for this interaction are non-predictable, we can hopefully arrive to some general conclusions and acquiring some meaningful insight in our fields...or bring up some interesting new questions!

So no brain frying needed into the wee hours of the night, it’s just taking some (restricted) time in 4 sessions to reflect on what our work implies in an interdisciplinary environment in an open and convivial setting.

Concretely, what you need to do is: Show up in time to the 4 sessions and exchange in dialogue. We present our models and how do we relate to them, why do we think they are important or working, or lacking, and then see if we can learn something from other models and transdisciplinary applications.

There will be a second phase to analyze the information gathered. It’s not mandatory to participate (for example due to time constraints from your main projects) but the people willing to do it can chip in with their skills to find a way to apply some of our models to our own process (in a way, like a fractal intake of our own medicine) and see what we can get out of this experience. For example, beyond the analysis on group dynamics, ideas and concepts sprouting, can we spot patterns from the waveform of the audio recorded from the sessions? Are there peaks correlated to certain ideas or sensible points? Would a time series analysis of this give out something of interest? As the group is established, do we see a form showing up, some bifurcation or change of state that is different form the end in regards to the beginning?

== Dynamic Information Routing on Complex Networks ==

===Keywords===
information flow, network dynamics, oscillator networks, attractors, characterizing influence of network components

===Summary===
Flexible information routing fundamentally underlies the function of many biological and artificial networks. Yet, how such systems may specifically communicate and dynamically route information is not well understood. Kirst et. al (2016) present a mechanism that routes information on top of collective dynamical reference states in complex networks. Switching between collective dynamics induces flexible reorganization of information sharing and
routing patterns, as quantified by delayed mutual information and transfer entropy measures between activities of a network’s units.

For this project, we are interested in characterizing nodes and network topologies that are especially influential on the routing of information flows on the overall network. Toward this end, we hope to identify attractors for this sort of high-dimensional complex network and, in so doing, identify the parameters that are most important in shaping information flows on the network. This work may also include re-exploration of metrics of directional information flow, network evolution, and/or application to neuroscience data.

==Expanding data sets via Complexity Warping==

===Keywords===
deep learning, time series classification, discretization

===Summary===
We attempt to address the problem of insufficient data instances for neural net training by creating new instances via Complexity Warping application to existing data.

Probably the best explanation of the problem and the approach, a different technique though, is given by Patrice Y. Simard, Dave Stdeinkraus, and John C. Platt in their work titled "Best Practices for Convolutional Neural Networks Applied to Visual Document Analysis"... 
''"...Synthesizing plausible transformations of data is simple, but the “inverse” problem – transformation invariance – can be arbitrarily complicated. Fortunately, learning algorithms are very good at learning inverse problems. Given a classification task, one may apply transformations to generate additional data and let the learning algorithm infer the transformation invariance. This invariance is embedded in the parameters, so it is in some sense free, since the computation at recognition time is unchanged. If the data is scarce and if the distribution to be learned has transformation-invariance properties, generating additional data using transformations may even improve performance [6]. In the case of handwriting recognition, we postulate that the distribution has some invariance with respect to not only affine transformations, but also elastic deformations corresponding to uncontrolled oscillations of the hand muscles, dampened by inertia..."''

We plan to re-use Diana Dabby's approach for variation (warping) of musical pitch sequences: ''"..The sensitive dependence property of chaotic trajectories offers a natural mechanism for variability. By affixing the pitch sequence of a musical work to a reference chaotic tra- jectory, it is possible to generate meaningful variations via a mapping between neighboring chaotic trajectories and the reference. The variations result from changes in the ordering of the pitch sequence. But two chaotic orbits started at nearly the same initial point in state space soon become uncorre- lated. To counter this, the mapping was designed so that a nearby trajectory could often track the reference, thus tem- pering the extent of the separation. Tracking means that pitches in the variation appear exactly where they did in the source. However, regardless of whether the two trajectories track, the mapping links the variation with the original by ensuring only those pitch events found in the source piece comprise the variation..."''

== Conceptual Drift ==

===Keywords===
history of ideas, evolution of philosophy, perception, behavior, feedback

===Summary===
I have talked with a few people regarding my curiosity surrounding the relationship between the way we perceive of ourselves in relation to the world around us and how these concepts are informed, embodied, and reinforced by a myriad of behaviors. In the process of questioning how philosophy can be considered a complex system some interesting ideas have emerged. After a brief conversation with one of our colleagues about "philosophical species," I identified an open-source data set that represents a Philosophical Influence Network (PIN). It represents quite a significant network spanning back to pre-socratic philosophy. I think this can be a decent starting point for some impressive narratives. Scottish philosopher David Hume, likened philosophical disciplines to species and this metaphor may be appropriate to utilize as we consider the evolution or "conceptual drift" of philosophical ideas.

I would also like to add that I am completely open to ideas surrounding this topic, i.e. I noticed someone mentioned the evolution of genes, memes, and temes; I think to some extent we have an overlap in interest.

Another caveat is the source of the PIN is problematic; it is sourced from the "influenced by" side bar on wikipedia for philosophers. Thus we encounter bias, fanboys, conflict, and other kinds of noise. However there are other databases that may be more objective i.e the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

===Potential Directions===

Where ideas go to die: Considering the richness of the PIN, it was suggested we may be able to search where ideas do really well and where others go to die. Each philosopher represents and attractor, furthermore each attractor interestingly represents ideas or concepts embodied within philosophical characters. This focus allows us to consider the drift, mutation, and other evolutionary processes surrounding concepts embedded in networks.

Why do "good" ideas go "bad?" : In this vein a couple of people have mentioned how we may explore what drives religion into war. Religions historically are meant to promote a kind of moral reasoning however throughout history as well as in contemporary society we see that religious fanaticism can drive violent acts. To what extent can we account for religious extremism and the emergence of groups like ISIS, and to what extent can we trace how violent ideologies emerge from moral doctrines?

Philosophy Divided: As we participate in the CSSS 2016 I can't help but recognize many philosophical assumptions we seem to tacitly evoke and at the same time identify other areas as painfully philosophical. In many regards this tension between the sciences and philosophy date back to Bacon's rejection of Aristotelianism. And as the scientific revolution emerged, a focus on the techne (artifact) also emerged, as a technical understanding of the physis or natural world, accompanied with technological advance. Today it seems as though the Aristotelian notions of techne and physis are "coming back around again." Can we account for the evolution of philosophical ideas in such a way that we can reimagine ancient philosophical concepts as complementary to novel research methods.

==Acquiring Information: to learn an existing language or to develop your own?==

===Summary===
In situations where a problem's solution is presented in an unrecognizable language, we are interested in the trade-offs between learning that language and finding a solution in your own language. We intend to study several forms of language and information; the project could take many possible directions of widely varied scope:
*Linear algebra: is it "better" to diagonalize a matrix or to represent eigenvectors in a non-eigen basis?
*Computational mechanics: is it easier to learn/synchronize to an existing (perhaps non-optimal) model or to develop your own e-machine?
*
*(motivation) Indigenous lore: Is it better to learn about an ecological system by listening to the lore of a native population or by strictly adhering to western scientific methods?

==A costly signaling prestige good model on a social network==
===Summary===
Note: I've changed the description/scope of the project. 
Prestige goods, in a nutshell, are goods whose primary value is in conveying social status/ranking (think Rolexes and iPhones). There is a great deal of speculation about how they contribute to increasing social complexity, including the idea that they were an older signaling system that predated true social stratification. Aimee Plourde has developed a costly signaling model of prestige goods that AFAIK has not been a) implemented as an ABM or b) tested out on a actual hunter-gatherer social network. We would like to remedy both of these omissions to explore the dynamics of prestige-as-costly-signaling over time, and whether it gives rise to any suggestive emergent behavior. 
The basic idea is to generate a "typical" hunter-gatherer social network (albeit based on historical ethnographic data). Individuals will start out with different levels of skill/success (the base case is low/high) and will interact with others in their network, resulting in gain/loss of skill and/or prestige. 
Data for this is iffy, so primarily we would be looking at it as an exploratory model (but if anyone has data ideas let us know). 
Kantner from the Santa Fe School of Advanced Studies has an alternate game-theory model for prestige goods that would be interesting to implement as well as time allows.

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

- Hey JP, any recommendation for good hangouts? I know folks have gone to Second Street but I've heard margaritas at the Shed are good (that's more of a restaurant, though, IIRC). - Ellen

Second Street, Draft Station, Thunderbird, Secreto are all pretty cool hangouts. There's also the Violet Crown movie theater with a *huge* beer selection and nice open space down in the Railyard. -JP

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

* Santa Fe Opera!! options: 8:30pm start Fri July 1, Wed July 6 La Fanciuall del West (Puccini); Sat July 2 Don Giovanni

* 4th of July on Santa Fe Plaza

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

==June 24 @ 5:00pm - 1:00am Meow Wolf expedition: House of Eternal Return exposition and Concert at night: Nosaj Thing & Lucky Dragons==

Apparently a mindblowing non-linear interactive exposition in the day and awesome concert at night, so we can do both in one go or you can join us for either ; )

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/
and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

==June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 25th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2016 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

==Other Ideas==

* Fractal Foundation Fractal Shows (http://fractalfoundation.org/fractal-shows/): First Friday in Albuquerque (July 1), Fourth Friday in Los Alamos (June 24)

* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22-25th

* Currents New Media Festival, Weekends in the Railyard

* Santa Fe Lavender Festival, June 18-19

* Santa Fe Opera!! options: 8:30pm start Fri July 1, Wed July 6 La Fanciuall del West (Puccini); Sat July 2 Don Giovanni

* 4th of July on Santa Fe Plaza

= July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip =

*Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

*Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
*Ryan (I have license and insurance)
*Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.

= Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip =
* Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park.
Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

*Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

*July 2
Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

*July 3
Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

*July 4
Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

<!*We'll be bussing folks back from SFI on Friday after our BBQ and can drop at some location in town -JP*!>

- Hey JP, any recommendation for good hangouts? I know folks have gone to Second Street but I've heard margaritas at the Shed are good (that's more of a restaurant, though, IIRC). - Ellen

Second Street, Draft Station, Thunderbird, Secreto are all pretty cool hangouts. There's also the Violet Crown movie theater with a *huge* beer selection and nice open space down in the Railyard. -JP

==June 24 @ 5:00pm - 1:00am Meow Wolf expedition: House of Eternal Return exposition and Concert at night: Nosaj Thing & Lucky Dragons==

Apparently a mindblowing non-linear interactive exposition in the day and awesome concert at night, so we can do both in one go or you can join us for either ; )

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/
and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;)
Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

==Meta-Epistemology and the Complexity of Research Areas==

===Keywords===
epistemology, complexity, mathematics, irreducibility, methodology, models

===Summary===

There are a lot of reasons modeling techniques develop in different fields, some of which include: 1) certain techniques and methodologies are more suited for the phenomena being studied by the field, 2) there's often historical path dependence of modeling methodologies that may or may not be suitable for the phenomena being studied by the field, and 3) it's difficult to determine what kinds of instruments are suitable to the phenomena, so researchers may copy the methodologies of other fields. This project would be a general effort to categorize fields by the complexity of the phenomena being studied (obviously we will have to break many fields into subfields), determine whether the methodologies historically and currently being employed by the mainstream of the field are suitable for the level of complexity of the phenomena being studied, and look at the replication rate for mainstream findings on real data in the field to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of unsuitable methodologies and the lack of replicability.

==Cities as Ecologies of Plans==
===Keywords===
ecology, economics, cities, civil engineering

===Summary===
The idea that the macro economy is an ecology of interacting plans has been gaining force among heterodox, complexity-aware economists. Similarly, cities are increasingly understood as not only having ecologies, but as ecological systems themselves. The project would be to create an agent-based model (likely in NetLogo) that bridges between the literature in economics and civil engineering, envisioning cities as ecologies of interacting plans.

Plans are created by individuals as a kind of dynamic chain of actions and strategies to attain some kind of goal. Goals can be anything: money, love, power, career, altruistic ends. Plans interact with the plans of others: if you want to move into a city, all other things being equal and assuming no vacancies, you need someone else to move out. In that sense, your plan to move in is coordinated with someone else's plans to move out. The plans and goals of people who move in/out of and live in cities directly affect the city as an ecological system. A suggested model: look at how a city's resources, spatial distribution, and other metrics are affected by the plans (dynamic strategies) and goals of its inhabitants. Is a lack of overall coordination (disharmony with the plans/goals of other inhabitants) with negative consequences for other inhabitants reflected in the ecological system of the city?

==Inferring the Structure of a Network==
===Keywords===
critical infrastructure, information theory, network theory, agent-based model

===Summary===
Deregulation of the US power grid has opened the door to speculators who trade futures contracts that are based on the minute-by-minute price difference for a megawatt hour between two generators (think nodes). The generators are connected by transmission lines (think edges) that must, in general, follow Kirchhoff's laws of current and potential. We want to explore what information exists in these location based prices regarding the structure of the underlying network of generators, consumers, and transmission lines. Public historical data on the price at each generator and the power both forecasted (24 hours ahead) and realized at each generator exists for certain regions of the US and I have built a small database of 2 years worth of this data for roughly 15 zones of the New York interconnect. An interesting side note, the power forecasted and demanded at one particular node tends to be periodic and easy to forecast. The price (which theoretically is driven by demand) at that same node exhibits multifractal properties, apparent heavy-tails in the increments, and long memory. The process that converts bids, offers, and the physical constraints of Kirchhoff's laws is usually a linear program that minimizes cost across all generators that can contribute to the demand.

==Resource Curse: paradox of plenty==
===Keywords===
resource curse, agent-based models, networks, economics, competition, self-similarity
===Summary===
Economist have noted that an abundance of natural resources (usually non-renewables) is apparently linked to worse economic indicators, an absence of democracy, and a number of other negative effects regarding the general health of the nation or region. A few of us have discussed exploring the dynamics of this alleged curse using the tools of complexity science. One possible question to explore is does the resource curse exhibit self-similarity at smaller scales of time, resource quantity, and competitors for the resource? Anecdotally one could think of this as the difference between say a mineral rich African nation and a Walmart store on Black Friday. Both have finite resources and competitors attempting to reap the resource while it exists. And both have been known to invoke violent responses.

We are open to exploring any other ideas related to the resource curse.

== Emergence of symmetry==

I'm super fascinated by the question of why there is so much symmetry in nature? For example, in the biological system, what are the evolutionary models that can explain such high percentage of species which exhibit certain type of (approximate) morphological symmetry? What can we learn from this mechanism?

Inspired by different examples in nature, we can try to invent network models that exhibit emergence of certain symmetry and structure formation. We can also analysis the chaotic behavior and entropy flow in the model we invented, and might discover some new phenomena of emergence!

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Language evolution in online fanfiction communities ==
=== Summary ===
I have a dataset containing fanfictions in the top ~40 most popular fandoms from Archive of Our Own(archiveofourown.org/media). The data includes:

(1) Fanfiction texts (original and moderately preprocessed), within a time range between 2010-now (since AO3 was founded).

(2) ~ 25 metadata fields, some of which include: Kudos, comments, bookmarks, publish date, tags, rating, categories, etc.

(3) The texts represented as topic distribution by buiding LDA models (ongoing, will be completed soon).

My current work with it focus on studying the influence of readers' preference on the writings being produced. Meanwhile, I will be happy to share the data and looking for other ideas/questions that may be associated with it.

== Movie citation network ==

New subpage here:
[[Movie Project|Movie Project]]

=== Summary ===
IMDB has an open access dataset at: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces. Our project is based on the dataset and we have current several potential research questions:

1) The sleeping beauty of movies. Based on the "shoutouts" of one movie to another, a "citation" network exists that connects millions of movies. The "sleeping beauties" had been identified in scientific paper citation networks, which are papers that became frequently cited a long time after publication. We are interested in finding similar (or different) patterns in the movie citation network.

2) If atypical combination of movie properties/citations/genres could predict its popularity.

3) A more general idea is the gender issue in movie industry, such as the different network structures of actor and actress.

We welcome any feedback!

==Emergence of power structures in networks==
===Summary===

Note: This is now a separate project from the prestige goods project.

High-level questions: How do (social) power structures emerge in complex networks? How do hierarchies restrict/modify information flow through networks? How does structural power (e.g., due to network hierarchy) differ/relate to intrinsic power (e.g. some nodes/people have more "skill/worth" regardless of their network position).

One idea I have is looking at the interplay of these dynamics by simulating (social learning) games on networks; for example, games where agents have to share information to estimate the worth of external items (like stocks, prestige goods etc.).
Other ideas would involve analysis of how information flow is affected by hierarchy etc.
 

At the first meeting we talked about how power is multi-faceted, and informed by multiple interaction or resource types. I really liked the idea of taking a multi-layer approach, running games on multiple networks (that may also relate to each other) which both contribute to power structure/hierarchy.

== A genetic model of music evolution==

===Keywords===
mutation, selection, recombination, cultural evolution, market ecology, music

===Summary===
We would like to build a genetic inspired model to describe the mechanism of music evolution in history. Basic idea is that different elements of characters in music is analogous to genes. Mutation creates new music character and language material, hence it is the source of musical diversity (genetic diversity). Migaration and cultural exchange propagate a music style to different community. Recombination allows different elements to form certain combinations. Natural selection, which is influenced by audiences' musical culture background, aesthetic values and market ecology. Selection chooses certain combination over others and when the number of differences reaches a critical point, it can be identified as a new style.

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Quantifying Trust==
===Keywords===
Agent Based Modeling, Information Theory, Game Theory
===Summary===

To me there are some simple rules of trust:

# The more we trust someone the less questions we are asking about their activity
# By trusting someone, a person reduces the amount of information he needs to process. e.g. If a pedestrian does not have a clear view of the road then he might follow other pedestrians in front of him. By following them he is reducing the amount of information he needs to process.
# If there is a "perfect trust" in a social system, then the system seems to be more ordered. For example in a military system a soldier blindly obeys the order of its officers. This makes the system more ordered.
# On the other hand the less there is trust the more disorder in the social system. So quantifying trust could be a way to quantify the disorderedness or entropy of a social system.
# But there is a catch. It is easier to propagate a misinformation in a system where everyone blindly trusts each other.

My intuition is that we can use both information theory and game theory to quantify trust this way. The problem is I don't have a dataset yet that can validate the rules above. But we can use the above observations to formulate an agent based model where we can tune the parameters to see if we can get any interesting observation.

== Modeling cultural evolution through 150 years of language change ==
===Keywords===
cultural evolution, language, multilingual
===Summary===

'''This project has evolved. See the Slack channels for details.'''

I have a clean dataset of word evolution for 3 languages (English, French, German); this data is built from historical text (books mostly) and includes data for all words that are reasonably frequent/popular in that decade (more than 10000 words per decade). For every decade from 1850-2000 I have:
# word frequency/popularity
# historical "word vectors" (capture word meaning/semantics)
# word sentiment scores (whether a word is has a positive or negative connotation; English only)
# word part of speech tags (e.g., is a word used more as a noun or a verb in a given year).

I also know of a bunch of other datasets on language change etc. that might be useful, depending on the groups interest.

I am totally willing to give all this data away freely (even if I am not actively involved in the project).
The project website with my data is: nlp.stanford.edu/projects/histwords/

Also, this is closely related to my thesis, so I would be relatively hands off, but I know of lots of data, references, etc. that can get everyone going.
I work on more of the observational/data-driven side of things, though, and it sounds like there is a lot of interest in building more of a cognitive and/or ABM model that explains/predicts the patterns we see in real data (ambitious goal).
I think that is an awesome idea!

===Group Contact===
There are two slack channels:
* language-evolution: This is for general data-driven project ideas, e.g. correlating language change with cultural events (Harrison Smith has some neat ideas).
* language-abm: This is for discussing a project around ABM models of language change (Matteo Morini would be a good contact for this side of things)

=== Interested participants, please sign up below and join the Slack channel [sfi-csss-2016.slack.com/messages/language-evolution, email Will if not yet on Slack] ===
[[Matteo Morini]] I've always wanted to work on evolutionary linguistics. You have the (coolest) dataset; now we need to devise a model. Perhaps an ABM (w/geographical, metaphorical, network-based space) where people settle, meet, migrate, adjust to new words/morphemes. The (ambitious) goal would be to trim the model as to mimic the empirical data. Sounds feasible? Btw, we will need to figure out (a.k.a. fake ^_^) a way to deal with spatializing the non-geographically referenced dataset. Who's in?
[[Juste Raimbault]] @Matteo would be totally interested in tackling this question of generating synthetic data (hybrid data) of spatial distribution for populations at given time periods (but already involved in two projects, so maybe ok if it is not intricated into the ABM and just the parametrization step) ; have at least historical data for French cities 1830-2000.

Anjali Tarun (anjalibtarun@gmail.com) I've encountered this paper (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6014/176.long) that quantitatively analyzes culture using millions of digitized books. It would be interesting to see how language affect and distinguish each one's culture. [Will: The data on my web page is actually based on an updated version of the data in that paper.]

== Semantic word game ==
===Keywords===
cognitive science, language, games, network routing, free association

===Summary===
See http://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/ to play the game. The goal is, given a starting word, navigate through forced choices to a known target word. The global idea is to understand the effect of context and how individuals can manipulate semantic space online (like we constantly have to do in natural conversation. A project idea is to construct random models where we can see influence of the target word. For example, if we have directed search from the start node to the end node as well as a directed search path from goal to start, can we combine these paths to capture human performance.

Data is available for download at https://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/tasks/export and looks like (JSON)

== Cooperative game: Modeling communication and innovation ==
===Keywords===
agent based models, network science, cooperation, iterative games

===Summary===
Data available.
Game design:Each player is tasked with building a 'team' of 5-6 characters out of a league of 40-60 players. The team receives a numeric (deterministic) score. This is played iteratively for a fixed (known) set of rounds. Cooperation comes in because at any time each player can see the teams and scores of all other players and may copy, select characters from or otherwise utilize all other players teams. The goal is to maximize the score of the group.
Group size varies from 1 to 9 people in a session. Repeated games are played between the same team and difficult varies systematically within a full set of games.

Research question is still not nailed down but some ideas
model the communication structure (in terms of copying other peoples choices) in a network and look if certain structural elements are correlated with improved performance
model learning and improvement in terms of sharing information over iterative runs and across group size
look at instances of sweeping change as innovation and study propagation of this event through the group.

== Effect of observer on their environment ==
=== Keywords ===
uncertainty, observation
===Summary===
I'm interested in looking at how an observer affects their environment or the system they are studying. I've talked to a few people about this, but the idea may need more refinement to make a good project.

I've added a channel named observer_effects to the SFI CSSS 2016 slack group.

===Other Ideas===
If anyone has more specific ideas, please add them here.

JE: My perspective on this is through information theory: information transfer from self-past to self-future, conditioned on self-present. or something. This would require that information to be transferred through the environment. This perspective does not require the "self" to be an "observer" per se, but I expect they are intimately related.

* Dataset 1: pre-processed dialogues from around 300 movies + interesting IMBD metadata (this dataset is public; www.mpi-sws.org/~cristian/Cornell_Movie-Dialogs_Corpus.html).
* Dataset 2: detailed information on the temporal scene structure (who is on screen when + scene breaks etc.) for thousands of movies + metadata (e.g., rotten tomatoes scores); this data is more private/sensitive and is currently somewhat messy, but we can definitely use it for this project. It should be easy to extract dynamic networks from which characters are on screen together.
* Dataset 3: high-level static (i.e., non-temporal) network structures for character interactions in 700 movies (this dataset is public; www.moviegalaxies.com; not totally clear how the data was constructed).

I think this data could give some really interesting insights into the art of storytelling and motifs/archetypes that re-occur.

This is only tangentially related to my usual PhD work (I just happen to know of the data), so any high-level thoughts on what would be interesting to do with this data are welcome! (Feel free to edit/add things here). A couple things I thought of:
* How do structures of movie social networks predict genre, rating, box office success, country of production, etc.
* (Temporal) network motifs: what are the common patterns of different types of films?
* Movie social networks vs. real life social networks.

==Emergence of project groups in CSSS 2016==
===Keywords===
subgroups, team participation, satisficing, networks

===Summary===
We want to model team emergence in cross-disciplinary academic research.
- Is diversity important?
- What makes teams productive? What makes teams fun?
- How do teams form information networks?
- How do members satisfice?
- How do members select their teams and how does that align with success of the group?
- What are the conditions for maverick rigor?

Merged from another project on same topic
field study of group formation in Summer Schools
we can use data on sex, nationality, profession and bio sketches
data on previous summer schools could be available as well

([[Simon Carrignon]] about the bio I was playing with it today: [https://github.com/simoncarrignon/bio-csss/blob/master/wiki.py | here] some lines of python code to grab the bio of all the people of this year. I played with mallet and the basic R cluster tools and it gives some stuff like the tree on the right [[File:Tree.png|100px|thumb|right|tree test]] there is funny things if one look carefully, but is really just naive tests I am not a specialist at all. But at least the python code can be usefull)

There is a nice paper about collective intelligence http://science.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/686
which can also be useful

We checked with Juniper and she can provice data for sex,nationality, science interest, but probably only going back to 2011

===Summary===
I am working with international consortia - Metasub
one of the projects is well known NY subway map of microbes
http://d2zahwnsqpmout.cloudfront.net/map/

Chris Mason from Cornell is willing to share the data they have collected in different stations and different parts of the stations

Microbial communities reflect history of the stations as well as people migration - interesting would be to create a model for microbe spread along the subway and exchange

Other data on NY could also be applied

==Genome of Law==
===Summary===

Off-the-cuff discussion about how a given set of laws/statutes/legal regulations might have similarities to genetic regulatory networks. More of an exploratory look, but might have some compelling things to be found. James has study from a colleague at MITRE looking at networks of laws and how they reference each other, and there are similar toe-dipping studies, but nothing rigorous.

==Network and language dynamics of Reddit (Correlations between cultural and structural properties of communities))==
===Summary===

'''If someone (not Will) wants to lead/organize this that would be great! I would love to provide assistance, but it is very related to my PhD, so I want to try to branch out a bit :)'''

I have a cleaned dataset of all Reddit (www.reddit.com) comments from 2009 through 2014 (Reddit is a very popular social media forum with >30 million users; it is organized into thousands of user-moderated "subreddits", which are topically-focused communities).
The data includes all the text of the comments, usernames, the upvotes, and the thread structures (so networks can be constructed).
There are many interesting questions that could be investigated with the data, and I would love to hear ideas! (The data is totally public, and I am willing to share even if I don't work on the project). 

I have done a lot of pre-processing and preliminary analysis on a manageable and very clean subset of all 2014 comments for 1200 mid-to-large subreddits (about 50Gb).
My background is in natural language processing and network mining, and I have lots of preliminary analysis/machinery for measuring linguistic signals in the data.

One high-level idea I have is to look at the relationship between sociolinguistic/cultural features of a community and the dynamic network interaction structures (e.g., clustering of comment-reply networks).
I have a ton of sociolinguistic variables that could be used, e.g. how "polite" the language is or how much people use "we" vs "I".

Another cool project would be looking at conflict and/or anti-social behavior (again, I have some linguistic features that I think could be helpful for this).

== The assembly of plant-pollinator networks==
===Keywords===
networks, mutualisms, ecology, restoration, succession, assembly
===Summary===
I have a 10 year dataset of ~1500 observations of pollinators (bees, flies, butterflies, wasps etc.) visiting plants in a native plant restorations (hedgerows) in the Central Valley of CA. The assembling communities are paired with unrestored field margins (controls) and mature (non-assembling) hedgerows. The goal would be to examine how and why the structure of the network is changing through time. How are the individual species changing their interaction patterns? What does this mean for the topology/resilience of the network? There is also a spatial dimension (the meta-population dynamics of the networks?) that could be explored.

==A costly signaling prestige good model on a social network==
===Summary===
Note: I've changed the description/scope of the project. 
Prestige goods, in a nutshell, are goods whose primary value is in conveying social status/ranking (think Rolexes and iPhones). There is a great deal of speculation about how they contribute to increasing social complexity, including the idea that they were an older signaling system that predated true social stratification. Aimee Plourde has developed a costly signaling model of prestige goods that AFAIK has not been a) implemented as an ABM or b) tested out on a actual hunter-gatherer social network. We would like to remedy both of these omissions to explore the dynamics of prestige-as-costly-signaling over time, and whether it gives rise to any suggestive emergent behavior. 
The basic idea is to generate a "typical" hunter-gatherer social network (albeit based on historical ethnographic data). Individuals will start out with different levels of skill/success (the base case is low/high) and will interact with others in their network, resulting in gain/loss of skill and/or prestige. 
Data for this is iffy, so primarily we would be looking at it as an exploratory model (but if anyone has data ideas let us know). 
Kantner from the Santa Fe School of Advanced Studies has an alternate game-theory model for prestige goods that would be interesting to implement as well as time allows.

** Awesome! I started reading your paper and it looks like a great starting point - maybe we could extend the model to distinguish between common goods (subsistence-level, go away after each season) and permanent prestige goods that convey social value, as well as looking into the implementations of prestige on agent actions.

== Early Warning Signals in a Disease Network==
===Keywords===
networks, disease, regime shifts

===Summary===
In 2011 a major avian influence outbreak occurred in the domestic ostrich industry in the western cape of South Africa. This outbreak resulted in massive losses to the industry, and the eradiation of a significant number of farms. I have published papers looking at how the movement of birds may have caused the network to become more vulnerable over time (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0086973), and also looked at how the system self organized following the crash (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/1365-2664.12486/asset/jpe12486.pdf?v=1&t=ipgcjacz&s=b6f493d011a1e9cafa5849eadd8cb8d59be7b055).

I would like to investigate whether there were early warning signals of a regime shift. This work could relate to anticipating critical transitions, and looking to see whether this could present an empirical example of the presence of early warning signals.

I currently have data from 2005-2014 but could easily obtain data until 2016. I am really open to ideas of how to work with this data.

==Tracking the migrations of urban hipsters (aka spatiotemporal analysis and scaling of labor)==
===Summary===
This is linked to the "Viscosity of Labor" question on the MITRE Challenge Questions list, which is copied below: 
Given US Census collected data can we find relationships between labor and urban scale? 

"Using US Census data (and other sources) a number of interesting scaling laws have been discovered that relate to the dynamics of urban human social systems. These scaling laws relate to such things as the generation of intellectual property, income, tax revenue, crime, and so on. What about labor? Does the scaling seen in income come from new or shifting categories of labor or simply increasing the income within an existing (static?) distribution of labor categories? Is there a spatial component? Does the spatial distribution change with the scale of the urban area?" 
 
The above is the complete question from MITRE, but we can adjust/focus as needed depending on interest and ideas. I have a sample analysis in another context from a colleague (who actually came up with this idea) which gives some good starting ideas. One thing I would like to look into is appropriate diversity measures for labor distributions. 
 
There is plenty of US Census data available for this:
* BLS Standard Occupational Classification categories (http://www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm) - these are the 23 high-level categories used to classify occupations in Census datasets - first widespread rollout was in 2000, and the categories were revised in 2010 (but the high-level categories are straightforward to reconcile)
* US Decennial Census data (http://www.census.gov/2010census/)
* American Community Survey (ACS) data (http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/) - 5-year estimates are probably most suitable
We would probably start at the county level and go finer (census tract/block group) if time allows. 
Matching the labor categories across census years, etc. is going to be the main challenge. 
MITRE and SFI are actively working together to improve the 2030 Census, so we can reach out to SFI directly on this.

== A preliminary model of the coupled human-natural system of swidden agriculture ==

=== Summary ===

Swidden agriculture, also known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash-and-burn Slash-and-burn] is about as old as agriculture itself. It exists in diverse variants practiced by 200 to 500 million people in different regions of the world; all of these forms involve the slashing and burning of portions of forest, hence its name. There has been a historic controversy regarding swidden agriculture, with some publications presenting it as a destructive force that contributes to global deforestation and other publications highlighting its sustainability and ecological benefits when practiced as a means of subsistence. This controversy shows the need of tools to further research and assess the benefits and costs of swidden agriculture.

This project idea will address the following research question: How do human activities interact with the ecological landscape and the sustainability of swidden agriculture?

This project idea aims to produce a simple, preliminary model with the following components:

* A simplified social network of swidden farmers exchanging agricultural labor, inspired by [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=12140541436579423216&hl=en&as_sdt=0,32 Downey (2010)]
* A landscape in the form of a 2-D grid in which cells are patches of forest / crops

Possible model outputs include:

* Yearly harvest
* Biodiversity
* Yearly biomass production in forest and fallows
* A representative indicator of the "net production" of the complete system
* Sustainability of the complete system

Biodiversity, biomass production, and sustainability will need reasonable, simple definitions that follow modern literature on the subject.

=== Software and language ===

Every idea is worth discussing. NetLogo might be an option that fits with our limited calendar. Git and GitLab would be used to manage the source code.

== Modeling within-city residential migration ==

===Keywords===
residential mobility, neighborhood change, network analysis

=== Summary ===

I have a few datasets laying around that I cleaned for my thesis (and I’m not using for that purpose) and a few more that I obtained but never cleaned. All of them are data for the city of Madrid (Spain) on various geographical and time scales/resolutions, most of them related to social/environmental/demographic variables. This includes socioeconomic, demographic and other type of data at the smallest unit available (~1500 people). I also have geocoded data on all housing units in the city (including size and year of construction) and geocoded data on all commercial properties (including open/closed and licensed use). Most of this data I have from 2005 to 2015 with yearly updates. The commercial spaces area is available from 2012 to 2016 with monthly updates from 2015 onwards. I also have data at other levels (bigger areas) related to occupation and other socioeconomic variables. 

'''The new thing I'm proposing is using a dataset I'm not using for my thesis which has information on yearly residential migration patterns within the city of Madrid. This includes information about how many people have moved from each neighborhood to any other neighborhood by level of education. If we consider neighborhoods as nodes and people moving as weighted edges, I have the feeling we can use the tools of network analysis to see which neighborhoods are the most unstable/changing (i.e.: neighborhoods that are in certain network structures [motifs], neighborhoods that are more central, etc.). This can be then easily coupled with data from the other sources described above or below.''' This data is available from 2004 to 2014 with yearly updates. 
See an example of how this network would look here:
[[File:Network_ub_cities.png|200px|thumb|center]]

There are a few other I have not used yet (and don't plan to use for my thesis). All of them come from datos.madrid.es (let me know if you need help figuring out what's what!) 
'''Traffic''': dataset of traffic intensity in Madrid. This uses sensors placed in most traffic lights (~3600), and the dataset provides count of vehicles (and associated % capacity used) every 15 minutes, from 2013 to March 2016. Some of the data is messy (but they have a flag for unreliable data). 
'''Noise''': dataset of noise measured with ~30 static sensors, monthly averages, from 2000 onwards. 
'''Polution''': dataset of air pollution measured with ~24 static sensors, hourly averages, from 2001 onwards. 
'''Complaints''': dataset of complaints (such as not working traffic light, litter on the street, etc), from 2014-2016, geocoded and with precise date/time. 
'''Traffic infractions''': dataset of infractions 2014-2016, with address (geocoded in 2016) and with precise date/time. 

===Interesting addition and comments to the idea===

Please add your comments and idea about the project here!

I work on spatiotemporal data wherein I build a network based on the space and time separations between events in dynamical systems. I'm thinking if this method can be combined with your idea, taking into account the spatial aspect, as well as putting the economical issues (salary, opportunities, rental costs etc) in the weights of the edges. - [[Anjali Tarun]]

== Can we use metabolic networks to predict the next beneficial mutation?==
===ideas===
Richard Lenski (who is also associated with SFI) has evolved an coli population to use a new sugar source, and tracked their changes for 40000 generations. This is a widely studied dataset (>200 papers published on it already...) in one of the most widely studied biological system but there is still a lot we do not understand about it. For example although we know what genes evolved during the experiments, we do not know why it is these particular genes that changed. I think it would be cool to try to use genetic network (which is also very well understood) to try to understand how new mutations rising in frequency changes the performance of a bacteria, and how the previous state of performance changes what the next mutation should be.
The genetic interactions are pretty well mapped in e.coli.(Regulondb)
Also they claim that the performance plateaued, but the mutations that accumulated were still beneficial in the following paper. How did that happen? (Genome-wide Mutational Diversity in an Evolving Population of Escherichia coli)
From a more computer science perspective: 40000 generation for an iterative process doesn't seem like very long. Does the network structure of metabolism pathways allow rapid adaptation? What can we learn from these networks to apply to computer science problems?
These ideas are pretty raw... but I think something evolution related, that looks not just at a property of a system but also allow the system to change would be really cool.

== Complexity insights into Circular Economy ==

=== Keywords ===

Complexity economics, Network optimization, Urban systems, Agent-based modeling

=== Summary ===
The 'circular economy' is recent approach on questions of sustainability. The current 'take, make, waste' way of producing is considered to be not sustainable anymore. Current thoughts on 'closing the loop' mechanisms on producing and consuming are booming in many different academic fields. However, not yet from an integrated point of view. The idea of 'closing the loop' mechanisms corresponds to complex system paradigms, however complexity science has hardly been utilized in this field. In this project we want to start brainstorming on how complexity science can contribute to the field of circular economy. We think there are many ways in which complexity science can contribute, both in methods and in theory. Based on the competences in the group we would like to brainstorm on suitable research questions, that can range from very practical to theoretical issues.

=== Insights ===

''Please contribute here by adding your insights''

* (Juste) From the point of view of theoretical geography, I think this question directly enters the frame of the understanding of human settlements. Distribution of population and ressources in space and time is a fundamental question for which many theories have been proposed (Evolutive Urban theory, Scaling theories, Human territoriality, etc. among others) and that many disciplines have studied (economics, geography, planning, archeology, more recently physics). To my point of view this project has a strong component linked to this issue, as it tackles the question of sustainable territorial organizations and the possibility of the existence of closed subsystems. As a consequence, the study of circular economic systems should necessarily consider them as being, among others (1) multi-scalar, (2) non-ergodic and (3) non stationary [beside buzz-words : 1) urban systems exhibit by nature multi-scalarity, and thus a circular organization of ressources management would also be as it is necessarily embedded into an urban structure ; 2) path-dependancy and geographical context in urban systems generally imply that universality is difficult to establish and makes direct comparison hazardous : urban systems all over the world do not correspond to realizations of the same process at different times (see Pumain, 2012) ; 3) urban systems as economic systems in general are never at equilibrium and the nature and positions of attractors changes in times, i.e. parameters of the dynamic do not have a stationary distribution]. For these reasons, complexity approaches are a natural way to study them, and build associated models that include these properties.

* (Lorraine) Also from a cities perspective: taking the city as a non-equilibrium system, one could say the city forms a dissipative structure (Bristow and Kennedy, 2015) - this is also the case for ecosystems (Schneider and Kay, 1994). Dissipative structures maximize destruction of energy gradients (i.e., as the structure becomes more ordered/grows, more energy flows through). This has direct implications for increasing resource consumption in growing cities. Furthermore, scaling relationships for cities show that consumption of resources scales superlinearly with population (Bettencourt, 2013; Bettencourt et al, 2007), which implies that as cities grow, more and more energy is consumed. It would be interesting to explore the concept of a circular economy in such a system, i.e., can a "circular economy" policy mechanism actually change the organic dissipative/scaling nature of cities? Further, since ecosystems are also dissipative structures, are there examples of "circular economies" in ecology that can serve as a model for cities? Just some ideas, would love to discuss more.

== Insights in Scientometrics ==
===Summary===
I have multiple scientometric datasets scraped from the "Web of Science" website, which include published works from different (hard sciences only, sorry) domains. Author(s), Year, Journal, ..., and citations are available. I have some code ready to pre-process those data, e.g. for linking articles by co-citations, or bibliographic coupling. I've been working on these data for some time, and am eager to offer the data in exchange for fresh, brilliant ideas.

== Using DOTA 2 video game data as a proxy to improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms ==
===Keywords===
Adaptive strategies, co-evolutionary systems, cybersecurity, DOTA 2, Inductive Game Theory, time-series analysis, potential NLP, potential genetic algorithms, potential network analysis
===Key Points===

'''Main question''': how to a) detect and b) quantify the rate of change of strategies in co-evolutionary systems?

'''Motivation''': improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms

'''Method''': use the competitive, strategic, multiplayer online game DOTA 2 data as a proxy for a cyber attack. Extract sets of strategies from game observables and develop an algorithm to detect when strategies change. This could be from within the games or from the drafting of characters (heroes).

===Summary===

Most metrics for scoring how well a given cyber intrusion algorithm performed involve static determinations after an attack has occurred and usually consist of simple false positive or false negative type scores. This does not enable the granularity necessary to improve these algorithms in appreciable ways. The goal is to develop new metrics to assess ''in real time'' when and how attackers adapt to the protective mechanisms they encounter so that the security teams can adjust their own defensive tactics more quickly. This could decrease the long lead time for patches and stave off additional damage.

Usable data from within the cyber domain that may help to strengthen detection algorithm scoring is nearly nonexistent. If actual attacks are documented in the real world, this data is rarely made available and may be network specific (hence, not generalizable). Thus, a proxy for the data is necessary. An online battle arena video game called Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) is a rich data source of real-time adaptive adversaries. Dota 2 is a strategic, competitive, multiplayer game where two teams of five individuals each compete against each other to complete objectives and to destroy the other team’s base in a time frame of ~20 to ~90 minutes. The players deploy various in-game and between-game tactics and procedures to achieve a specific measurable objective. Professional players vie for tens of millions of dollars in prize pools each year, and over 2 billion games have been played. Currently, we have access to a Mongo database with 500 GB of data (~2.5 million games played over one year).

This is akin to the classic ‘Red Queen hypothesis’ in evolutionary biology, but in this case we are interested in human behaviors where a strategy can be considered most generally as a ‘meme’ of sorts. Our hypotheses include: 1) a mapping exists between game observables and a set of strategies, 2) a measurable signal can be extracted from which to ascertain the adoption, stabilization, and decay of specific strategy traits, 3) changes in strategies occur over time, and 4) strategy changes are driven (at least in part) from behaviors of the opposing team. We postulate that testing these hypotheses will require an understanding of the co-evolutionary dynamics of the overall environment. In particular, the human behavioral components underlying the adversary/defense team actions will need to be assessed. The use of data from a multiplayer online game for this purpose assumes there is a valid mapping between the ‘game-space’ to ‘cyber-space’ behaviors from which useful inferences can be made. Through this exercise we hope to understand what types of data (if any) are useful for this purpose and how one might develop proxies to characterize strategies. Ultimately, we hope that the analysis could be applied against realistic data specific to a cyber intrusion.

See [[Media:mitredatadota.pdf |DOTA 2 DATA OVERVIEW]] for additional details.

===Technology===

Parsed data is in JSON format. We should have access to two databases: one is a mongo database discussed above for aggregated information (e.g., fights, deaths (characters respawn), characters played, items acquired, positions for the first 10 minutes, league IDs, player IDs, wins), and the second is raw data for every move and every action each player took throughout the entire game.

== Complexity in fruit fly learning behavior ==

=== Keywords ===
Fruit fly, learning, behavior, phenotypic space

=== Summary ===
I designed and built a high-throughput apparatus (currently in the process of patent application), in which I use laser to deliver heat stress to a single fly. When the fly moves, the laser turns on, when the fly stops, the laser shuts down. In order to avoid the heat, the fly has to learn not to move. Some flies have difficulty in making correct decisions under this stress. Different genetic mutations related to dopamine/serotonin systems may have contributed to the incorrect decisions made.

In the following figures, the first one is a fly’s movement trajectory before training; the second one is the same fly’s movement after one training (usually one fly will experience two training sessions or more).

Before training

[[Image:Beforetraining.jpg | 500px]]

After one training session

[[Image:Aftertraining.jpg | 500px]]

=== Objectives ===
The goal of this project is two-fold:
1) Quantify the complexity hidden in the learning curve of individual flies, and characterize variations from fly to fly.
2) Create a mathematical model for the fly’s learning process, and verify it in different animals, as well as to understand how mutation in the genome affect learning behavior from the perspective of parametric analysis in mathematical models.

My time-series trajectory measurement dataset consists of approximately 700 individual flies, including wide-type and mutant flies. It is a rich dataset ready to be analyzed.

== An Interdisciplinary Approach to Morphogenesis ==

=== Presentation ===

''This is not properly speaking a project proposition as the idea is quite ambitious and the result may be more at a theoretical level than concrete and practical developments. If some are really interested but are already busy with other projects, I think this one can be done without heavy time consumption if it stays at a theoretical level.''

The concept of morphogenesis is a powerful approach to many kind of complex systems. It aims at unveiling the processes responsible for the formation of patterns, and link the emergence of these patterns to functional properties of the system. This definition would sound wrong to anyone who has been involved with morphogenesis, as each field has its own definition and use of the concept. Proposing an interdisciplinary approach to this concept has already be done (see e.g. Bourgine & Lesne 2010, available [http://37.187.242.99/files/public/MorphogenesisBourgine.pdf here] ) but to my point of view its potential richness has not been exhausted. The idea would be to gather insights from various people having worked on morphogenesis and to study the potentialities of a self-consistent theoretical framework that would include the different views, and be autonomous as an approach to complex systems. The work would be both on an epistemological and theoretical level, but also potentially practical applications (e.g. develop an existing model someone has worked on, given the insights of other domains and of the theory).

==Patterns in Globalization==

===Keywords===
patterns, globalization, trade, fractals, trends, British empire, Trieste

===Summary===

What if can we see how is the face of globalization?
Globalization is a phenomenon lasting centuries. I believe we can begin to look better at its face from the data of trade.

Thanks to the scaling power of fractals, we can look for patterns into a small, well defined environments, such as the free ports.

I have the data regarding the flow of goods in the free port of Trieste in the 19th century and specifically those regarding Trieste and the British Empire.
Trieste was the main port of the Habsburg empire, one of the 10 most important port in the world at the time. In the 19th century we had a kind of globalization that was centred on the British financial system, so it is important to see the grade of integration with the British world System of a single free port out of the British empire.

I have data regarding:

vessels: tons and value of goods, flag, provenance and destination

goods: amount in tons and value of import-export for each typology,
general data regarding trade in Trieste

In addition I have the data regarding the Generali Insurance company. Based in Trieste, the company was and is one of most important insurance company in the world.
I have all its balance sheets from 1830s to World War 1. We can look at insurance on vessels and the goods they transported as a proxy for the general development of trade in Trieste and to evaluate trade risk over the time.

We can begin concentrating on 3 goods, for example, and to see what kind of networks of countries we find out, what trends they developed.
In general we can choose from the huge data set I have what can be more interesting to our purpose.
What models we can build, what math we can use and what tools fit better to find the patterns, which ultimately will led us to begin to see on the horizon the face of globalization.

== Consensus, conflict and coalitions: exploring agent interactions within health policy systems ==

===Keywords===
Decision making, Health policy, Network influence

===Summary===

Decision makers in health choose which policies to support from a range of options. These decisions are theorised to be based on; what they see is the best option for society (i.e. public health), what they see is the best option for themselves (financially or politically), what they are told is the best option by other decision makers, what they think based on previous experience, or a combination of various processes.

Health policy outcomes are determined collectively via interactions within policy systems. Policy actors (e.g. government departments, charities, businesses, media etc.) work to influence each other and final policy decisions. Policies with high levels of support are more likely to be implemented, while disagreement between actors may stop one decision and lead to another less beneficial public health outcome.

In cases of conflict, rival policy advocacy coalitions (network components) can form. Coalition structures may affect the flow of information between decision makers for future decisions, even when levels of conflict may be lower. This could in turn influence how well the policy process benefits public health, or benefits certain actors.

This project aims to explore how the characteristics of actors within policy systems can lead to different policy outcomes and system configurations. We aim to construct health policy networks based on existing research and policy theory, develop models to explain the evolution of policy networks over time, assess how our model outcomes compare to outcomes in real policy systems, and determine how changing parameters of the model could change the outcomes of the system.

The project will involve the following strands:

1. Identifying policy system structure; comparing UK and US policy systems (Based on political theory, health policy literature, or other suggestions from collaborators) 
2. Determining the ways in which actors take decisions (Based on data envelopment analysis, or other suggestions) 
3. Constructing a model to show changes in policy systems over time (Boolean Network, other suggestions) 
4. Determining are there certain characteristics of policy systems, policy actors, or policy options that lead to certain outcomes

The findings of the models could help us better understand conflict and coalitions in policy systems, variation in the use of evidence, and the emergence of communication breakdowns in policy enivronments.

==Complexity in Material Stocked in Japan==

===Keywords===
cities, industrial ecology, materials, GIS, fractals, scaling

===Summary===

There is an amazing GIS dataset from a group in Japan about material stocks in buildings and infrastructure -- cell size is 1km, it extends throughout the country over multiple years:

Tanikawa et al. 2015: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.12284/abstract

Looking at the map of the stocked materials, there are clear links to complexity (fractals, scaling, etc.). I have a copy of the dataset (but limited ArcGIS skills). It would be awesome to form a team to dive into this dataset using complexity tools. I think interesting things can be learned related to physical infrastructure growth and the mass of cities.

==Complexity and P = NP==
===Summary===

It seems intuitive that if I were to A) give you the output (and only the output) of the logistic map with paramater 4 and initial condition 0.4, you would have a hard time recovering the function and parameter set, and B) if I gave you the logistic map and parameter values, you could quickly verify that they produced the output. This project would be about studying the P=NP problem and the relevant information theory and chaos theory.

Admittedly this is something I know little to nothing about, and whole fields of time series analysis are devoted to recovering functions and their parameters: establishing that there exists a function that produces output that is not computably invertible but is easily verified would make a big statement on the P = NP idea. The activities of this group would be reading and understanding information theory and chaos theory and working towards a paper that provides some insight on P=NP and relevant complexity theory.

JE: I think symbolic regression could actually recover the return map rather quickly, although it would certainly be difficult (impossible) to confirm the uniqueness of this map. I'm very curious about this topic, but it could be as simple as a conversation with Jim Crutchfield sometime.

==Complexity in speech patterns==

===Summary===

Have you ever: 
- Been bored by listening to a monotone lecturer? 
- Been inspired by a dynamic motivational speaker? 
- Counted the number of “umms” in a conference talk? 
- Thought about how lovely it is to listen to Morgan Freeman? 
 
And more importantly, are you curious about what properties in speech patterns elicit these reactions? 
 
There are many properties in speech time series (fluctuations in tone, pattern of sound/silence, word pattern, etc. etc.). I’m interested in investigating patterns in these different properties, specifically how various complexity measures of speech relate to listener perception. 
 
Possible data: online lectures, political candidate debates or speeches (could be fun, especially given current politics) 
Possible measures of perception: “likes” or internet popularity, or a short study having CSSS participants rate short audio clips of people talking. 
*could also play around with speech simulations

==Tournaments of the World==

===Summary===
Some of you may be aware of the (important) things that are going on in the world today: the NBA finals, Euro 2016, the 100th Copa America, the NHL finals, et al. A question that I am interested in is trying to deduce what the probability was that the winner of the tournament was going to win based on the data generated by the tournament (the results of all of the matches).

My ansatz is that this will involve some Bayesian analysis to create models of the various teams, then a Monte Carlo phase of simulating tournaments based on these models. Once this MC dataset is created, one can ask any number of fascinating questions (e.g., What is the predictive power of the tournament? How sensitive is it to the seeding? What is a better tournament algorithm? And, of course, how unlikely is it for the US to win a major soccer tournament?)

I feel like I need to work some more [complexity] into this idea. Suggestions are welcome. Perhaps there is something to be said regarding the information generated by sporting events (as they are not simply random events as insinuated above).

Note: This is not just about sports, but these tournaments provide a timely example of data that is akin to the human subject data that I often encounter in my work (so don't feel bad about joining in if sports aren't your thing).

==Removing bias from predictive algorithms==

===Keywords===
Machine learning, Justice policy

===Summary===
In many states across the US predictive algorithms are used in an effort to support judges in more objective decision making. These so called risk assessment algorithms are used to predict whether or not a person is likely to appear to court hearings, whether they are likely to repeat their criminal behavior after being released etc.. A recent [https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing report by ProPublica] shows that one of these algorithms, which is in use in different states, is heavily biased against Afro-Americans.

We are wondering whether there is a systematic way of removing such a bias, either by modifying the algorithm after training, or by systematically varying the set of criteria which is used to inform the algorithm in order to remove the bias without negatively affecting its predictive power.

A dataset of 7000 convicts and their criminal history after release from prison is available [[https://github.com/propublica/compas-analysis online]].

More generally, this could be used to avoid identifiability of specific groups in situations where such algorithms are used. This could apply for example to online shopping, in order to avoid discrimination.

Hi! this is really cool! I don't know if you have read the MITRE-SFI Challenge problems on Predicting Cascade Size in Financial Markets - using the framework of self-organized criticality. I'm putting a copy of it here, in case you get interested.

"Can we use simulation and history to predict the size of cascading events in the future? The dynamics of Self-Organized Critical (SOC) Systems are, by their very nature, very difficult to predict. The overall distribution of event sizes appears stationary but predicting the size of any given event is very difficult. For example, the canonical Bak Sandpile model shows a power law distribution for the sizes of sand avalanches. Although that distribution is stable, predicting the size of a given avalanche is very difficult (impossible?). Some have said that our critical infrastructure and financial markets are SOC systems. Others have claimed that they can predict the dynamics of these systems, especially financial markets. Does this make sense?
Can you take the Bak sandpile model and make any statements about future avalanche sizes based upon history? This prediction need not be specific, but could take the form of probabilities of larger or smaller avalanches occurring. Look broadly at the dynamics; for example, Sornette has found it useful to look at “draw-ups” and “draw-downs” or consecutive movements in the same direction (avalanches of increasing or decreasing size). Does this boil down to a sampling problem? If you had a time series of avalanches and some sense of the current state of the Bak sandpile could you do a better job of predicting the size of the next avalanche? If so, how accurate does your knowledge of the system need to be, does it need to include some information about where the next sand grain was likely to fall?" - [[Anjali Tarun | Anjali]]

== This is your side project! An interdisciplinary dialogue on modeling, from computer and theoretical models to their transposition into the empiric reality of the human glitch ==

===Keywords===
Interdisciplinarity, Epistemology, Fractals, Empirical Research

===Summary===

This project consists on creating real time Interdisciplinary dialogue. How we conceive and relate to our models, its pros and cons and, what can we learn from our different fields? What steps are needed for implementing awesome mathematical models into human reality so societies can actually integrate them? Hence, what are some of the gaps and challenges that we often encounter in the transmission of scientific knowledge into political, social and cultural systems?
What is the model for consciousness in your Complex Systems Field? Is it rational agents? Self emerging systems? Politics and health systems? Relation of bees and flowers? Human interactions in networks? Frankenstein supercomputers taking over the world? Sentient structures? Maybe no conscience at all! With this interdisciplinary soup we can see what emerges in our interactions.

You can think of it as a little oasis of reflection in the midst of the project frenzy…with a side project! So it’s taking a breath to reflect on what we are actually doing. And moreover, what does the application of our models imply? If what we do is useful, what use could that be, and how can we efficiently communicate that to people outside our fields (very often in the decision making processes or the receiving end).
In that sense, it is more like a workshop, with the final point integrating some of our exchanges. If the qualitative aspects for this interaction are non-predictable, we can hopefully arrive to some general conclusions and acquiring some meaningful insight in our fields...or bring up some interesting new questions!

So no brain frying needed into the wee hours of the night, it’s just taking some (restricted) time in 4 sessions to reflect on what our work implies in an interdisciplinary environment in an open and convivial setting.

Concretely, what you need to do is: Show up in time to the 4 sessions and exchange in dialogue. We present our models and how do we relate to them, why do we think they are important or working, or lacking, and then see if we can learn something from other models and transdisciplinary applications.

There will be a second phase to analyze the information gathered. It’s not mandatory to participate (for example due to time constraints from your main projects) but the people willing to do it can chip in with their skills to find a way to apply some of our models to our own process (in a way, like a fractal intake of our own medicine) and see what we can get out of this experience. For example, beyond the analysis on group dynamics, ideas and concepts sprouting, can we spot patterns from the waveform of the audio recorded from the sessions? Are there peaks correlated to certain ideas or sensible points? Would a time series analysis of this give out something of interest? As the group is established, do we see a form showing up, some bifurcation or change of state that is different form the end in regards to the beginning?

== Dynamic Information Routing on Complex Networks ==

===Keywords===
information flow, network dynamics, oscillator networks, attractors, characterizing influence of network components

===Summary===
Flexible information routing fundamentally underlies the function of many biological and artificial networks. Yet, how such systems may specifically communicate and dynamically route information is not well understood. Kirst et. al (2016) present a mechanism that routes information on top of collective dynamical reference states in complex networks. Switching between collective dynamics induces flexible reorganization of information sharing and
routing patterns, as quantified by delayed mutual information and transfer entropy measures between activities of a network’s units.

For this project, we are interested in characterizing nodes and network topologies that are especially influential on the routing of information flows on the overall network. Toward this end, we hope to identify attractors for this sort of high-dimensional complex network and, in so doing, identify the parameters that are most important in shaping information flows on the network. This work may also include re-exploration of metrics of directional information flow, network evolution, and/or application to neuroscience data.

"...Synthesizing plausible transformations of data is simple, but the “inverse” problem – transformation invariance – can be arbitrarily complicated. Fortunately, learning algorithms are very good at learning inverse problems. Given a classification task, one may apply transformations to generate additional data and let the learning algorithm infer the transformation invariance. This invariance is embedded in the parameters, so it is in some sense free, since the computation at recognition time is unchanged. If the data is scarce and if the distribution to be learned has transformation-invariance properties, generating additional data using transformations may even improve performance [6]. In the case of handwriting recognition, we postulate that the distribution has some invariance with respect to not only affine transformations, but also elastic deformations corresponding to uncontrolled oscillations of the hand muscles, dampened by inertia..."

==Acquiring Information: to learn an existing language or to develop your own?==

===Summary===
In situations where a problem's solution is presented in an unrecognizable language, we are interested in the trade-offs between learning that language and finding a solution in your own language. We intend to study several forms of language and information; the project could take many possible directions of widely varied scope:
*Linear algebra: is it "better" to diagonalize a matrix or to represent eigenvectors in a non-eigen basis?
*Computational mechanics: is it easier to learn/synchronize to an existing (perhaps non-optimal) model or to develop your own e-machine?
*
*(motivation) Indigenous lore: Is it better to learn about an ecological system by listening to the lore of a native population or by strictly adhering to western scientific methods?

==Meta-Epistemology and the Complexity of Research Areas==

===Keywords===
epistemology, complexity, mathematics, irreducibility, methodology, models

===Summary===

There are a lot of reasons modeling techniques develop in different fields, some of which include: 1) certain techniques and methodologies are more suited for the phenomena being studied by the field, 2) there's often historical path dependence of modeling methodologies that may or may not be suitable for the phenomena being studied by the field, and 3) it's difficult to determine what kinds of instruments are suitable to the phenomena, so researchers may copy the methodologies of other fields. This project would be a general effort to categorize fields by the complexity of the phenomena being studied (obviously we will have to break many fields into subfields), determine whether the methodologies historically and currently being employed by the mainstream of the field are suitable for the level of complexity of the phenomena being studied, and look at the replication rate for mainstream findings on real data in the field to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of unsuitable methodologies and the lack of replicability.

==Cities as Ecologies of Plans==
===Keywords===
ecology, economics, cities, civil engineering

===Summary===
The idea that the macro economy is an ecology of interacting plans has been gaining force among heterodox, complexity-aware economists. Similarly, cities are increasingly understood as not only having ecologies, but as ecological systems themselves. The project would be to create an agent-based model (likely in NetLogo) that bridges between the literature in economics and civil engineering, envisioning cities as ecologies of interacting plans.

Plans are created by individuals as a kind of dynamic chain of actions and strategies to attain some kind of goal. Goals can be anything: money, love, power, career, altruistic ends. Plans interact with the plans of others: if you want to move into a city, all other things being equal and assuming no vacancies, you need someone else to move out. In that sense, your plan to move in is coordinated with someone else's plans to move out. The plans and goals of people who move in/out of and live in cities directly affect the city as an ecological system. A suggested model: look at how a city's resources, spatial distribution, and other metrics are affected by the plans (dynamic strategies) and goals of its inhabitants. Is a lack of overall coordination (disharmony with the plans/goals of other inhabitants) with negative consequences for other inhabitants reflected in the ecological system of the city?

==Inferring the Structure of a Network==
===Keywords===
critical infrastructure, information theory, network theory, agent-based model

===Summary===
Deregulation of the US power grid has opened the door to speculators who trade futures contracts that are based on the minute-by-minute price difference for a megawatt hour between two generators (think nodes). The generators are connected by transmission lines (think edges) that must, in general, follow Kirchhoff's laws of current and potential. We want to explore what information exists in these location based prices regarding the structure of the underlying network of generators, consumers, and transmission lines. Public historical data on the price at each generator and the power both forecasted (24 hours ahead) and realized at each generator exists for certain regions of the US and I have built a small database of 2 years worth of this data for roughly 15 zones of the New York interconnect. An interesting side note, the power forecasted and demanded at one particular node tends to be periodic and easy to forecast. The price (which theoretically is driven by demand) at that same node exhibits multifractal properties, apparent heavy-tails in the increments, and long memory. The process that converts bids, offers, and the physical constraints of Kirchhoff's laws is usually a linear program that minimizes cost across all generators that can contribute to the demand.

==Resource Curse: paradox of plenty==
===Keywords===
resource curse, agent-based models, networks, economics, competition, self-similarity
===Summary===
Economist have noted that an abundance of natural resources (usually non-renewables) is apparently linked to worse economic indicators, an absence of democracy, and a number of other negative effects regarding the general health of the nation or region. A few of us have discussed exploring the dynamics of this alleged curse using the tools of complexity science. One possible question to explore is does the resource curse exhibit self-similarity at smaller scales of time, resource quantity, and competitors for the resource? Anecdotally one could think of this as the difference between say a mineral rich African nation and a Walmart store on Black Friday. Both have finite resources and competitors attempting to reap the resource while it exists. And both have been known to invoke violent responses.

We are open to exploring any other ideas related to the resource curse.

== Emergence of symmetry==

I'm super fascinated by the question of why there is so much symmetry in nature? For example, in the biological system, what are the evolutionary models that can explain such high percentage of species which exhibit certain type of (approximate) morphological symmetry? What can we learn from this mechanism?

Inspired by different examples in nature, we can try to invent network models that exhibit emergence of certain symmetry and structure formation. We can also analysis the chaotic behavior and entropy flow in the model we invented, and might discover some new phenomena of emergence!

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Language evolution in online fanfiction communities ==
=== Summary ===
I have a dataset containing fanfictions in the top ~40 most popular fandoms from Archive of Our Own(archiveofourown.org/media). The data includes:

(1) Fanfiction texts (original and moderately preprocessed), within a time range between 2010-now (since AO3 was founded).

(2) ~ 25 metadata fields, some of which include: Kudos, comments, bookmarks, publish date, tags, rating, categories, etc.

(3) The texts represented as topic distribution by buiding LDA models (ongoing, will be completed soon).

My current work with it focus on studying the influence of readers' preference on the writings being produced. Meanwhile, I will be happy to share the data and looking for other ideas/questions that may be associated with it.

== Movie citation network ==

New subpage here:
[[Movie Project|Movie Project]]

=== Summary ===
IMDB has an open access dataset at: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces. Our project is based on the dataset and we have current several potential research questions:

1) The sleeping beauty of movies. Based on the "shoutouts" of one movie to another, a "citation" network exists that connects millions of movies. The "sleeping beauties" had been identified in scientific paper citation networks, which are papers that became frequently cited a long time after publication. We are interested in finding similar (or different) patterns in the movie citation network.

2) If atypical combination of movie properties/citations/genres could predict its popularity.

3) A more general idea is the gender issue in movie industry, such as the different network structures of actor and actress.

We welcome any feedback!

==Emergence of power structures in networks==
===Summary===

Note: This is now a separate project from the prestige goods project.

High-level questions: How do (social) power structures emerge in complex networks? How do hierarchies restrict/modify information flow through networks? How does structural power (e.g., due to network hierarchy) differ/relate to intrinsic power (e.g. some nodes/people have more "skill/worth" regardless of their network position).

One idea I have is looking at the interplay of these dynamics by simulating (social learning) games on networks; for example, games where agents have to share information to estimate the worth of external items (like stocks, prestige goods etc.).
Other ideas would involve analysis of how information flow is affected by hierarchy etc.
 

At the first meeting we talked about how power is multi-faceted, and informed by multiple interaction or resource types. I really liked the idea of taking a multi-layer approach, running games on multiple networks (that may also relate to each other) which both contribute to power structure/hierarchy.

== A genetic model of music evolution==

===Keywords===
mutation, selection, recombination, cultural evolution, market ecology, music

===Summary===
We would like to build a genetic inspired model to describe the mechanism of music evolution in history. Basic idea is that different elements of characters in music is analogous to genes. Mutation creates new music character and language material, hence it is the source of musical diversity (genetic diversity). Migaration and cultural exchange propagate a music style to different community. Recombination allows different elements to form certain combinations. Natural selection, which is influenced by audiences' musical culture background, aesthetic values and market ecology. Selection chooses certain combination over others and when the number of differences reaches a critical point, it can be identified as a new style.

All ideas and discussions are welcome!

== Quantifying Trust==
===Keywords===
Agent Based Modeling, Information Theory, Game Theory
===Summary===

To me there are some simple rules of trust:

# The more we trust someone the less questions we are asking about their activity
# By trusting someone, a person reduces the amount of information he needs to process. e.g. If a pedestrian does not have a clear view of the road then he might follow other pedestrians in front of him. By following them he is reducing the amount of information he needs to process.
# If there is a "perfect trust" in a social system, then the system seems to be more ordered. For example in a military system a soldier blindly obeys the order of its officers. This makes the system more ordered.
# On the other hand the less there is trust the more disorder in the social system. So quantifying trust could be a way to quantify the disorderedness or entropy of a social system.
# But there is a catch. It is easier to propagate a misinformation in a system where everyone blindly trusts each other.

My intuition is that we can use both information theory and game theory to quantify trust this way. The problem is I don't have a dataset yet that can validate the rules above. But we can use the above observations to formulate an agent based model where we can tune the parameters to see if we can get any interesting observation.

== Modeling cultural evolution through 150 years of language change ==
===Keywords===
cultural evolution, language, multilingual
===Summary===

'''This project has evolved. See the Slack channels for details.'''

I have a clean dataset of word evolution for 3 languages (English, French, German); this data is built from historical text (books mostly) and includes data for all words that are reasonably frequent/popular in that decade (more than 10000 words per decade). For every decade from 1850-2000 I have:
# word frequency/popularity
# historical "word vectors" (capture word meaning/semantics)
# word sentiment scores (whether a word is has a positive or negative connotation; English only)
# word part of speech tags (e.g., is a word used more as a noun or a verb in a given year).

I also know of a bunch of other datasets on language change etc. that might be useful, depending on the groups interest.

I am totally willing to give all this data away freely (even if I am not actively involved in the project).
The project website with my data is: nlp.stanford.edu/projects/histwords/

Also, this is closely related to my thesis, so I would be relatively hands off, but I know of lots of data, references, etc. that can get everyone going.
I work on more of the observational/data-driven side of things, though, and it sounds like there is a lot of interest in building more of a cognitive and/or ABM model that explains/predicts the patterns we see in real data (ambitious goal).
I think that is an awesome idea!

===Group Contact===
There are two slack channels:
* language-evolution: This is for general data-driven project ideas, e.g. correlating language change with cultural events (Harrison Smith has some neat ideas).
* language-abm: This is for discussing a project around ABM models of language change (Matteo Morini would be a good contact for this side of things)

[[Matteo Morini]] I've always wanted to work on evolutionary linguistics. You have the (coolest) dataset; now we need to devise a model. Perhaps an ABM (w/geographical, metaphorical, network-based space) where people settle, meet, migrate, adjust to new words/morphemes. The (ambitious) goal would be to trim the model as to mimic the empirical data. Sounds feasible? Btw, we will need to figure out (a.k.a. fake ^_^) a way to deal with spatializing the non-geographically referenced dataset. Who's in?
[[Juste Raimbault]] @Matteo would be totally interested in tackling this question of generating synthetic data (hybrid data) of spatial distribution for populations at given time periods (but already involved in two projects, so maybe ok if it is not intricated into the ABM and just the parametrization step) ; have at least historical data for French cities 1830-2000.

Anjali Tarun (anjalibtarun@gmail.com) I've encountered this paper (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6014/176.long) that quantitatively analyzes culture using millions of digitized books. It would be interesting to see how language affect and distinguish each one's culture. [Will: The data on my web page is actually based on an updated version of the data in that paper.]

== Semantic word game ==
===Keywords===
cognitive science, language, games, network routing, free association

===Summary===
See http://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/ to play the game. The goal is, given a starting word, navigate through forced choices to a known target word. The global idea is to understand the effect of context and how individuals can manipulate semantic space online (like we constantly have to do in natural conversation. A project idea is to construct random models where we can see influence of the target word. For example, if we have directed search from the start node to the end node as well as a directed search path from goal to start, can we combine these paths to capture human performance.

Data is available for download at https://pybossa.socientize.eu/pybossa/app/Semantics/tasks/export and looks like (JSON)

== Cooperative game: Modeling communication and innovation ==
===Keywords===
agent based models, network science, cooperation, iterative games

===Summary===
Data available.
Game design:Each player is tasked with building a 'team' of 5-6 characters out of a league of 40-60 players. The team receives a numeric (deterministic) score. This is played iteratively for a fixed (known) set of rounds. Cooperation comes in because at any time each player can see the teams and scores of all other players and may copy, select characters from or otherwise utilize all other players teams. The goal is to maximize the score of the group.
Group size varies from 1 to 9 people in a session. Repeated games are played between the same team and difficult varies systematically within a full set of games.

Research question is still not nailed down but some ideas
model the communication structure (in terms of copying other peoples choices) in a network and look if certain structural elements are correlated with improved performance
model learning and improvement in terms of sharing information over iterative runs and across group size
look at instances of sweeping change as innovation and study propagation of this event through the group.

Tomorrow at SFI first thing after we start working on projects

== Effect of observer on their environment ==
=== Keywords ===
uncertainty, observation
===Summary===
I'm interested in looking at how an observer affects their environment or the system they are studying. I've talked to a few people about this, but the idea may need more refinement to make a good project.

I've added a channel named observer_effects to the SFI CSSS 2016 slack group.

===Other Ideas===
If anyone has more specific ideas, please add them here.

JE: My perspective on this is through information theory: information transfer from self-past to self-future, conditioned on self-present. or something. This would require that information to be transferred through the environment. This perspective does not require the "self" to be an "observer" per se, but I expect they are intimately related.

== Temporal social networks (and dialogues) in film ==
===Keywords===
movies, films, social network analysis, pop culture
===Summary===

I have (or know of) three cool datasets for analyzing social networks and interactions of characters in films (i.e., the "social" networks of the characters in the movies, based on who appears with and talks with who).
* Dataset 1: pre-processed dialogues from around 300 movies + interesting IMBD metadata (this dataset is public; www.mpi-sws.org/~cristian/Cornell_Movie-Dialogs_Corpus.html).
* Dataset 2: detailed information on the temporal scene structure (who is on screen when + scene breaks etc.) for thousands of movies + metadata (e.g., rotten tomatoes scores); this data is more private/sensitive and is currently somewhat messy, but we can definitely use it for this project. It should be easy to extract dynamic networks from which characters are on screen together.
* Dataset 3: high-level static (i.e., non-temporal) network structures for character interactions in 700 movies (this dataset is public; www.moviegalaxies.com; not totally clear how the data was constructed).

I think this data could give some really interesting insights into the art of storytelling and motifs/archetypes that re-occur.

This is only tangentially related to my usual PhD work (I just happen to know of the data), so any high-level thoughts on what would be interesting to do with this data are welcome! (Feel free to edit/add things here). A couple things I thought of:
* How do structures of movie social networks predict genre, rating, box office success, country of production, etc.
* (Temporal) network motifs: what are the common patterns of different types of films?
* Movie social networks vs. real life social networks.

We want to model team emergence in cross-disciplinary academic research.
- Is diversity important?
- What makes teams productive? What makes teams fun?
- How do teams form information networks?
- How do members satisfice?
- How do members select their teams and how does that align with success of the group?
- What are the conditions for maverick rigor?

I played with mallet and the basic R cluster tools and it gives some stuff like the tree on the right [[File:Tree.png|100px|thumb|right|tree test]] there is funny things if one look carefully, but is really just naive tests I am not a specialist at all. But at least the python code can be usefull)

There is a nice paper about collective intelligence http://science.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/686
which can also be useful

We checked with Juniper and she can provice data for sex,nationality, science interest, but probably only going back to 2011

== NY subway microbiome ==
===Keywords===
networks, ecology, subway , city , communities
===Summary===
I am working with international consortia - Metasub
one of the projects is well known NY subway map of microbes
http://d2zahwnsqpmout.cloudfront.net/map/

Chris Mason from Cornell is willing to share the data they have collected in different stations and different parts of the stations

Microbial communities reflect history of the stations as well as people migration - interesting would be to create a model for microbe spread along the subway and exchange

Other data on NY could also be applied

==Genome of Law==
===Summary===

Off-the-cuff discussion about how a given set of laws/statutes/legal regulations might have similarities to genetic regulatory networks. More of an exploratory look, but might have some compelling things to be found. James has study from a colleague at MITRE looking at networks of laws and how they reference each other, and there are similar toe-dipping studies, but nothing rigorous.

==Network and language dynamics of Reddit (Correlations between cultural and structural properties of communities))==
===Summary===

'''If someone (not Will) wants to lead/organize this that would be great! I would love to provide assistance, but it is very related to my PhD, so I want to try to branch out a bit :)'''

I have a cleaned dataset of all Reddit (www.reddit.com) comments from 2009 through 2014 (Reddit is a very popular social media forum with >30 million users; it is organized into thousands of user-moderated "subreddits", which are topically-focused communities).
The data includes all the text of the comments, usernames, the upvotes, and the thread structures (so networks can be constructed).
There are many interesting questions that could be investigated with the data, and I would love to hear ideas! (The data is totally public, and I am willing to share even if I don't work on the project). 

I have done a lot of pre-processing and preliminary analysis on a manageable and very clean subset of all 2014 comments for 1200 mid-to-large subreddits (about 50Gb).
My background is in natural language processing and network mining, and I have lots of preliminary analysis/machinery for measuring linguistic signals in the data.

One high-level idea I have is to look at the relationship between sociolinguistic/cultural features of a community and the dynamic network interaction structures (e.g., clustering of comment-reply networks).
I have a ton of sociolinguistic variables that could be used, e.g. how "polite" the language is or how much people use "we" vs "I".

Another cool project would be looking at conflict and/or anti-social behavior (again, I have some linguistic features that I think could be helpful for this).

== The assembly of plant-pollinator networks==
===Keywords===
networks, mutualisms, ecology, restoration, succession, assembly
===Summary===
I have a 10 year dataset of ~1500 observations of pollinators (bees, flies, butterflies, wasps etc.) visiting plants in a native plant restorations (hedgerows) in the Central Valley of CA. The assembling communities are paired with unrestored field margins (controls) and mature (non-assembling) hedgerows. The goal would be to examine how and why the structure of the network is changing through time. How are the individual species changing their interaction patterns? What does this mean for the topology/resilience of the network? There is also a spatial dimension (the meta-population dynamics of the networks?) that could be explored.

==A costly signaling prestige good model on a social network==
===Summary===
Note: I've changed the description/scope of the project. 
Prestige goods, in a nutshell, are goods whose primary value is in conveying social status/ranking (think Rolexes and iPhones). There is a great deal of speculation about how they contribute to increasing social complexity, including the idea that they were an older signaling system that predated true social stratification. Aimee Plourde has developed a costly signaling model of prestige goods that AFAIK has not been a) implemented as an ABM or b) tested out on a actual hunter-gatherer social network. We would like to remedy both of these omissions to explore the dynamics of prestige-as-costly-signaling over time, and whether it gives rise to any suggestive emergent behavior. 
The basic idea is to generate a "typical" hunter-gatherer social network (albeit based on historical ethnographic data). Individuals will start out with different levels of skill/success (the base case is low/high) and will interact with others in their network, resulting in gain/loss of skill and/or prestige. 
Data for this is iffy, so primarily we would be looking at it as an exploratory model (but if anyone has data ideas let us know). 
Kantner from the Santa Fe School of Advanced Studies has an alternate game-theory model for prestige goods that would be interesting to implement as well as time allows.

== Early Warning Signals in a Disease Network==
===Keywords===
networks, disease, regime shifts

===Summary===
In 2011 a major avian influence outbreak occurred in the domestic ostrich industry in the western cape of South Africa. This outbreak resulted in massive losses to the industry, and the eradiation of a significant number of farms. I have published papers looking at how the movement of birds may have caused the network to become more vulnerable over time (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0086973), and also looked at how the system self organized following the crash (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/1365-2664.12486/asset/jpe12486.pdf?v=1&t=ipgcjacz&s=b6f493d011a1e9cafa5849eadd8cb8d59be7b055).

I would like to investigate whether there were early warning signals of a regime shift. This work could relate to anticipating critical transitions, and looking to see whether this could present an empirical example of the presence of early warning signals.

I currently have data from 2005-2014 but could easily obtain data until 2016. I am really open to ideas of how to work with this data.

==Tracking the migrations of urban hipsters (aka spatiotemporal analysis and scaling of labor)==
===Summary===
This is linked to the "Viscosity of Labor" question on the MITRE Challenge Questions list, which is copied below: 
Given US Census collected data can we find relationships between labor and urban scale? 

"Using US Census data (and other sources) a number of interesting scaling laws have been discovered that relate to the dynamics of urban human social systems. These scaling laws relate to such things as the generation of intellectual property, income, tax revenue, crime, and so on. What about labor? Does the scaling seen in income come from new or shifting categories of labor or simply increasing the income within an existing (static?) distribution of labor categories? Is there a spatial component? Does the spatial distribution change with the scale of the urban area?" 
 
The above is the complete question from MITRE, but we can adjust/focus as needed depending on interest and ideas. I have a sample analysis in another context from a colleague (who actually came up with this idea) which gives some good starting ideas. One thing I would like to look into is appropriate diversity measures for labor distributions. 
 
There is plenty of US Census data available for this:
* BLS Standard Occupational Classification categories (http://www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm) - these are the 23 high-level categories used to classify occupations in Census datasets - first widespread rollout was in 2000, and the categories were revised in 2010 (but the high-level categories are straightforward to reconcile)
* US Decennial Census data (http://www.census.gov/2010census/)
* American Community Survey (ACS) data (http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/) - 5-year estimates are probably most suitable
We would probably start at the county level and go finer (census tract/block group) if time allows. 
Matching the labor categories across census years, etc. is going to be the main challenge. 
MITRE and SFI are actively working together to improve the 2030 Census, so we can reach out to SFI directly on this.

== A preliminary model of the coupled human-natural system of swidden agriculture ==

=== Summary ===

Swidden agriculture, also known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash-and-burn Slash-and-burn] is about as old as agriculture itself. It exists in diverse variants practiced by 200 to 500 million people in different regions of the world; all of these forms involve the slashing and burning of portions of forest, hence its name. There has been a historic controversy regarding swidden agriculture, with some publications presenting it as a destructive force that contributes to global deforestation and other publications highlighting its sustainability and ecological benefits when practiced as a means of subsistence. This controversy shows the need of tools to further research and assess the benefits and costs of swidden agriculture.

This project idea will address the following research question: How do human activities interact with the ecological landscape and the sustainability of swidden agriculture?

This project idea aims to produce a simple, preliminary model with the following components:

* A simplified social network of swidden farmers exchanging agricultural labor, inspired by [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=12140541436579423216&hl=en&as_sdt=0,32 Downey (2010)]
* A landscape in the form of a 2-D grid in which cells are patches of forest / crops

Possible model outputs include:

* Yearly harvest
* Biodiversity
* Yearly biomass production in forest and fallows
* A representative indicator of the "net production" of the complete system
* Sustainability of the complete system

Biodiversity, biomass production, and sustainability will need reasonable, simple definitions that follow modern literature on the subject.

=== Software and language ===

Every idea is worth discussing. NetLogo might be an option that fits with our limited calendar. Git and GitLab would be used to manage the source code.

== Modeling within-city residential migration ==

===Keywords===
residential mobility, neighborhood change, network analysis

=== Summary ===

I have a few datasets laying around that I cleaned for my thesis (and I’m not using for that purpose) and a few more that I obtained but never cleaned. All of them are data for the city of Madrid (Spain) on various geographical and time scales/resolutions, most of them related to social/environmental/demographic variables. This includes socioeconomic, demographic and other type of data at the smallest unit available (~1500 people). I also have geocoded data on all housing units in the city (including size and year of construction) and geocoded data on all commercial properties (including open/closed and licensed use). Most of this data I have from 2005 to 2015 with yearly updates. The commercial spaces area is available from 2012 to 2016 with monthly updates from 2015 onwards. I also have data at other levels (bigger areas) related to occupation and other socioeconomic variables. 

'''The new thing I'm proposing is using a dataset I'm not using for my thesis which has information on yearly residential migration patterns within the city of Madrid. This includes information about how many people have moved from each neighborhood to any other neighborhood by level of education. If we consider neighborhoods as nodes and people moving as weighted edges, I have the feeling we can use the tools of network analysis to see which neighborhoods are the most unstable/changing (i.e.: neighborhoods that are in certain network structures [motifs], neighborhoods that are more central, etc.). This can be then easily coupled with data from the other sources described above or below.''' This data is available from 2004 to 2014 with yearly updates. 
See an example of how this network would look here:
[[File:Network_ub_cities.png|200px|thumb|center]]

There are a few other I have not used yet (and don't plan to use for my thesis). All of them come from datos.madrid.es (let me know if you need help figuring out what's what!) 
'''Traffic''': dataset of traffic intensity in Madrid. This uses sensors placed in most traffic lights (~3600), and the dataset provides count of vehicles (and associated % capacity used) every 15 minutes, from 2013 to March 2016. Some of the data is messy (but they have a flag for unreliable data). 
'''Noise''': dataset of noise measured with ~30 static sensors, monthly averages, from 2000 onwards. 
'''Polution''': dataset of air pollution measured with ~24 static sensors, hourly averages, from 2001 onwards. 
'''Complaints''': dataset of complaints (such as not working traffic light, litter on the street, etc), from 2014-2016, geocoded and with precise date/time. 
'''Traffic infractions''': dataset of infractions 2014-2016, with address (geocoded in 2016) and with precise date/time. 

===Interesting addition and comments to the idea===

Please add your comments and idea about the project here!

I work on spatiotemporal data wherein I build a network based on the space and time separations between events in dynamical systems. I'm thinking if this method can be combined with your idea, taking into account the spatial aspect, as well as putting the economical issues (salary, opportunities, rental costs etc) in the weights of the edges. - [[Anjali Tarun]]

== Can we use metabolic networks to predict the next beneficial mutation?==
===ideas===
Richard Lenski (who is also associated with SFI) has evolved an coli population to use a new sugar source, and tracked their changes for 40000 generations. This is a widely studied dataset (>200 papers published on it already...) in one of the most widely studied biological system but there is still a lot we do not understand about it. For example although we know what genes evolved during the experiments, we do not know why it is these particular genes that changed. I think it would be cool to try to use genetic network (which is also very well understood) to try to understand how new mutations rising in frequency changes the performance of a bacteria, and how the previous state of performance changes what the next mutation should be.
The genetic interactions are pretty well mapped in e.coli.(Regulondb)
Also they claim that the performance plateaued, but the mutations that accumulated were still beneficial in the following paper. How did that happen? (Genome-wide Mutational Diversity in an Evolving Population of Escherichia coli)
From a more computer science perspective: 40000 generation for an iterative process doesn't seem like very long. Does the network structure of metabolism pathways allow rapid adaptation? What can we learn from these networks to apply to computer science problems?
These ideas are pretty raw... but I think something evolution related, that looks not just at a property of a system but also allow the system to change would be really cool.

== Complexity insights into Circular Economy ==

=== Keywords ===

Complexity economics, Network optimization, Urban systems, Agent-based modeling

=== Summary ===
The 'circular economy' is recent approach on questions of sustainability. The current 'take, make, waste' way of producing is considered to be not sustainable anymore. Current thoughts on 'closing the loop' mechanisms on producing and consuming are booming in many different academic fields. However, not yet from an integrated point of view. The idea of 'closing the loop' mechanisms corresponds to complex system paradigms, however complexity science has hardly been utilized in this field. In this project we want to start brainstorming on how complexity science can contribute to the field of circular economy. We think there are many ways in which complexity science can contribute, both in methods and in theory. Based on the competences in the group we would like to brainstorm on suitable research questions, that can range from very practical to theoretical issues.

=== Insights ===

''Please contribute here by adding your insights''

* (Juste) From the point of view of theoretical geography, I think this question directly enters the frame of the understanding of human settlements. Distribution of population and ressources in space and time is a fundamental question for which many theories have been proposed (Evolutive Urban theory, Scaling theories, Human territoriality, etc. among others) and that many disciplines have studied (economics, geography, planning, archeology, more recently physics). To my point of view this project has a strong component linked to this issue, as it tackles the question of sustainable territorial organizations and the possibility of the existence of closed subsystems. As a consequence, the study of circular economic systems should necessarily consider them as being, among others (1) multi-scalar, (2) non-ergodic and (3) non stationary [beside buzz-words : 1) urban systems exhibit by nature multi-scalarity, and thus a circular organization of ressources management would also be as it is necessarily embedded into an urban structure ; 2) path-dependancy and geographical context in urban systems generally imply that universality is difficult to establish and makes direct comparison hazardous : urban systems all over the world do not correspond to realizations of the same process at different times (see Pumain, 2012) ; 3) urban systems as economic systems in general are never at equilibrium and the nature and positions of attractors changes in times, i.e. parameters of the dynamic do not have a stationary distribution]. For these reasons, complexity approaches are a natural way to study them, and build associated models that include these properties.

* (Lorraine) Also from a cities perspective: taking the city as a non-equilibrium system, one could say the city forms a dissipative structure (Bristow and Kennedy, 2015) - this is also the case for ecosystems (Schneider and Kay, 1994). Dissipative structures maximize destruction of energy gradients (i.e., as the structure becomes more ordered/grows, more energy flows through). This has direct implications for increasing resource consumption in growing cities. Furthermore, scaling relationships for cities show that consumption of resources scales superlinearly with population (Bettencourt, 2013; Bettencourt et al, 2007), which implies that as cities grow, more and more energy is consumed. It would be interesting to explore the concept of a circular economy in such a system, i.e., can a "circular economy" policy mechanism actually change the organic dissipative/scaling nature of cities? Further, since ecosystems are also dissipative structures, are there examples of "circular economies" in ecology that can serve as a model for cities? Just some ideas, would love to discuss more.

* (Ben) I have worked on the topic of cleaning data sets for sustainable industrial production systems. Some of the work have been documented in http://enipedia.tudelft.nl/wiki/Industrial_Symbiosis_Data_Sources. I can also access to Europe Waste/pollution registry (stored as RDF format). It covers major industrial polluters in Europe.

== Using DOTA 2 video game data as a proxy to improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms ==
===Keywords===
Adaptive strategies, co-evolutionary systems, cybersecurity, DOTA 2, Inductive Game Theory, time-series analysis, potential NLP, potential genetic algorithms, potential network analysis
===Key Points===

'''Main question''': how to a) detect and b) quantify the rate of change of strategies in co-evolutionary systems?

'''Motivation''': improve cyber intrusion detection algorithms

'''Method''': use the competitive, strategic, multiplayer online game DOTA 2 data as a proxy for a cyber attack. Extract sets of strategies from game observables and develop an algorithm to detect when strategies change. This could be from within the games or from the drafting of characters (heroes).

===Summary===

Most metrics for scoring how well a given cyber intrusion algorithm performed involve static determinations after an attack has occurred and usually consist of simple false positive or false negative type scores. This does not enable the granularity necessary to improve these algorithms in appreciable ways. The goal is to develop new metrics to assess ''in real time'' when and how attackers adapt to the protective mechanisms they encounter so that the security teams can adjust their own defensive tactics more quickly. This could decrease the long lead time for patches and stave off additional damage.

Usable data from within the cyber domain that may help to strengthen detection algorithm scoring is nearly nonexistent. If actual attacks are documented in the real world, this data is rarely made available and may be network specific (hence, not generalizable). Thus, a proxy for the data is necessary. An online battle arena video game called Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) is a rich data source of real-time adaptive adversaries. Dota 2 is a strategic, competitive, multiplayer game where two teams of five individuals each compete against each other to complete objectives and to destroy the other team’s base in a time frame of ~20 to ~90 minutes. The players deploy various in-game and between-game tactics and procedures to achieve a specific measurable objective. Professional players vie for tens of millions of dollars in prize pools each year, and over 2 billion games have been played. Currently, we have access to a Mongo database with 500 GB of data (~2.5 million games played over one year).

This is akin to the classic ‘Red Queen hypothesis’ in evolutionary biology, but in this case we are interested in human behaviors where a strategy can be considered most generally as a ‘meme’ of sorts. Our hypotheses include: 1) a mapping exists between game observables and a set of strategies, 2) a measurable signal can be extracted from which to ascertain the adoption, stabilization, and decay of specific strategy traits, 3) changes in strategies occur over time, and 4) strategy changes are driven (at least in part) from behaviors of the opposing team. We postulate that testing these hypotheses will require an understanding of the co-evolutionary dynamics of the overall environment. In particular, the human behavioral components underlying the adversary/defense team actions will need to be assessed. The use of data from a multiplayer online game for this purpose assumes there is a valid mapping between the ‘game-space’ to ‘cyber-space’ behaviors from which useful inferences can be made. Through this exercise we hope to understand what types of data (if any) are useful for this purpose and how one might develop proxies to characterize strategies. Ultimately, we hope that the analysis could be applied against realistic data specific to a cyber intrusion.

See [[Media:mitredatadota.pdf |DOTA 2 DATA OVERVIEW]] for additional details.

===Technology===

Parsed data is in JSON format. We should have access to two databases: one is a mongo database discussed above for aggregated information (e.g., fights, deaths (characters respawn), characters played, items acquired, positions for the first 10 minutes, league IDs, player IDs, wins), and the second is raw data for every move and every action each player took throughout the entire game.

== Complexity in fruit fly learning behavior ==

=== Keywords ===
Fruit fly, learning, behavior, phenotypic space

=== Summary ===
I designed and built a high-throughput apparatus (currently in the process of patent application), in which I use laser to deliver heat stress to a single fly. When the fly moves, the laser turns on, when the fly stops, the laser shuts down. In order to avoid the heat, the fly has to learn not to move. Some flies have difficulty in making correct decisions under this stress. Different genetic mutations related to dopamine/serotonin systems may have contributed to the incorrect decisions made.

In the following figures, the first one is a fly’s movement trajectory before training; the second one is the same fly’s movement after one training (usually one fly will experience two training sessions or more).

Before training

[[Image:Beforetraining.jpg | 500px]]

After one training session

[[Image:Aftertraining.jpg | 500px]]

=== Objectives ===
The goal of this project is two-fold:
1) Quantify the complexity hidden in the learning curve of individual flies, and characterize variations from fly to fly.
2) Create a mathematical model for the fly’s learning process, and verify it in different animals, as well as to understand how mutation in the genome affect learning behavior from the perspective of parametric analysis in mathematical models.

My time-series trajectory measurement dataset consists of approximately 700 individual flies, including wide-type and mutant flies. It is a rich dataset ready to be analyzed.

== An Interdisciplinary Approach to Morphogenesis ==

=== Presentation ===

''This is not properly speaking a project proposition as the idea is quite ambitious and the result may be more at a theoretical level than concrete and practical developments. If some are really interested but are already busy with other projects, I think this one can be done without heavy time consumption if it stays at a theoretical level.''

The concept of morphogenesis is a powerful approach to many kind of complex systems. It aims at unveiling the processes responsible for the formation of patterns, and link the emergence of these patterns to functional properties of the system. This definition would sound wrong to anyone who has been involved with morphogenesis, as each field has its own definition and use of the concept. Proposing an interdisciplinary approach to this concept has already be done (see e.g. Bourgine & Lesne 2010, available [http://37.187.242.99/files/public/MorphogenesisBourgine.pdf here] ) but to my point of view its potential richness has not been exhausted. The idea would be to gather insights from various people having worked on morphogenesis and to study the potentialities of a self-consistent theoretical framework that would include the different views, and be autonomous as an approach to complex systems. The work would be both on an epistemological and theoretical level, but also potentially practical applications (e.g. develop an existing model someone has worked on, given the insights of other domains and of the theory).

==Patterns in Globalization==

===Keywords===
patterns, globalization, trade, fractals, trends, British empire, Trieste

===Summary===

What if can we see how is the face of globalization?
Globalization is a phenomenon lasting centuries. I believe we can begin to look better at its face from the data of trade.

Thanks to the scaling power of fractals, we can look for patterns into a small, well defined environments, such as the free ports.

I have the data regarding the flow of goods in the free port of Trieste in the 19th century and specifically those regarding Trieste and the British Empire.
Trieste was the main port of the Habsburg empire, one of the 10 most important port in the world at the time. In the 19th century we had a kind of globalization that was centred on the British financial system, so it is important to see the grade of integration with the British world System of a single free port out of the British empire.

I have data regarding:

vessels: tons and value of goods, flag, provenance and destination

goods: amount in tons and value of import-export for each typology,
general data regarding trade in Trieste

In addition I have the data regarding the Generali Insurance company. Based in Trieste, the company was and is one of most important insurance company in the world.
I have all its balance sheets from 1830s to World War 1. We can look at insurance on vessels and the goods they transported as a proxy for the general development of trade in Trieste and to evaluate trade risk over the time.

We can begin concentrating on 3 goods, for example, and to see what kind of networks of countries we find out, what trends they developed.
In general we can choose from the huge data set I have what can be more interesting to our purpose.
What models we can build, what math we can use and what tools fit better to find the patterns, which ultimately will led us to begin to see on the horizon the face of globalization.

== Consensus, conflict and coalitions: exploring agent interactions within health policy systems ==

===Keywords===
Decision making, Health policy, Network influence

===Summary===

Decision makers in health choose which policies to support from a range of options. These decisions are theorised to be based on; what they see is the best option for society (i.e. public health), what they see is the best option for themselves (financially or politically), what they are told is the best option by other decision makers, what they think based on previous experience, or a combination of various processes.

Health policy outcomes are determined collectively via interactions within policy systems. Policy actors (e.g. government departments, charities, businesses, media etc.) work to influence each other and final policy decisions. Policies with high levels of support are more likely to be implemented, while disagreement between actors may stop one decision and lead to another less beneficial public health outcome.

In cases of conflict, rival policy advocacy coalitions (network components) can form. Coalition structures may affect the flow of information between decision makers for future decisions, even when levels of conflict may be lower. This could in turn influence how well the policy process benefits public health, or benefits certain actors.

This project aims to explore how the characteristics of actors within policy systems can lead to different policy outcomes and system configurations. We aim to construct health policy networks based on existing research and policy theory, develop models to explain the evolution of policy networks over time, assess how our model outcomes compare to outcomes in real policy systems, and determine how changing parameters of the model could change the outcomes of the system.

The project will involve the following strands:

1. Identifying policy system structure; comparing UK and US policy systems (Based on political theory, health policy literature, or other suggestions from collaborators) 
2. Determining the ways in which actors take decisions (Based on data envelopment analysis, or other suggestions) 
3. Constructing a model to show changes in policy systems over time (Boolean Network, other suggestions) 
4. Determining are there certain characteristics of policy systems, policy actors, or policy options that lead to certain outcomes

The findings of the models could help us better understand conflict and coalitions in policy systems, variation in the use of evidence, and the emergence of communication breakdowns in policy enivronments.

==Complexity in Material Stocked in Japan==

===Keywords===
cities, industrial ecology, materials, GIS, fractals, scaling

===Summary===

There is an amazing GIS dataset from a group in Japan about material stocks in buildings and infrastructure -- cell size is 1km, it extends throughout the country over multiple years:

Tanikawa et al. 2015: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.12284/abstract

Looking at the map of the stocked materials, there are clear links to complexity (fractals, scaling, etc.). I have a copy of the dataset (but limited ArcGIS skills). It would be awesome to form a team to dive into this dataset using complexity tools. I think interesting things can be learned related to physical infrastructure growth and the mass of cities.

==Complexity and P = NP==
===Summary===

It seems intuitive that if I were to A) give you the output (and only the output) of the logistic map with paramater 4 and initial condition 0.4, you would have a hard time recovering the function and parameter set, and B) if I gave you the logistic map and parameter values, you could quickly verify that they produced the output. This project would be about studying the P=NP problem and the relevant information theory and chaos theory.

Admittedly this is something I know little to nothing about, and whole fields of time series analysis are devoted to recovering functions and their parameters: establishing that there exists a function that produces output that is not computably invertible but is easily verified would make a big statement on the P = NP idea. The activities of this group would be reading and understanding information theory and chaos theory and working towards a paper that provides some insight on P=NP and relevant complexity theory.

JE: I think symbolic regression could actually recover the return map rather quickly, although it would certainly be difficult (impossible) to confirm the uniqueness of this map. I'm very curious about this topic, but it could be as simple as a conversation with Jim Crutchfield sometime.

==Complexity in speech patterns==

===Summary===

Have you ever: 
- Been bored by listening to a monotone lecturer? 
- Been inspired by a dynamic motivational speaker? 
- Counted the number of “umms” in a conference talk? 
- Thought about how lovely it is to listen to Morgan Freeman? 
 
And more importantly, are you curious about what properties in speech patterns elicit these reactions? 
 
There are many properties in speech time series (fluctuations in tone, pattern of sound/silence, word pattern, etc. etc.). I’m interested in investigating patterns in these different properties, specifically how various complexity measures of speech relate to listener perception. 
 
Possible data: online lectures, political candidate debates or speeches (could be fun, especially given current politics) 
Possible measures of perception: “likes” or internet popularity, or a short study having CSSS participants rate short audio clips of people talking. 
*could also play around with speech simulations

==Tournaments of the World==

===Summary===
Some of you may be aware of the (important) things that are going on in the world today: the NBA finals, Euro 2016, the 100th Copa America, the NHL finals, et al. A question that I am interested in is trying to deduce what the probability was that the winner of the tournament was going to win based on the data generated by the tournament (the results of all of the matches).

My ansatz is that this will involve some Bayesian analysis to create models of the various teams, then a Monte Carlo phase of simulating tournaments based on these models. Once this MC dataset is created, one can ask any number of fascinating questions (e.g., What is the predictive power of the tournament? How sensitive is it to the seeding? What is a better tournament algorithm? And, of course, how unlikely is it for the US to win a major soccer tournament?)

I feel like I need to work some more [complexity] into this idea. Suggestions are welcome. Perhaps there is something to be said regarding the information generated by sporting events (as they are not simply random events as insinuated above).

Note: This is not just about sports, but these tournaments provide a timely example of data that is akin to the human subject data that I often encounter in my work (so don't feel bad about joining in if sports aren't your thing).

==Removing bias from predictive algorithms==

===Keywords===
Machine learning, Justice policy

===Summary===
In many states across the US predictive algorithms are used in an effort to support judges in more objective decision making. These so called risk assessment algorithms are used to predict whether or not a person is likely to appear to court hearings, whether they are likely to repeat their criminal behavior after being released etc.. A recent [https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing report by ProPublica] shows that one of these algorithms, which is in use in different states, is heavily biased against Afro-Americans.

We are wondering whether there is a systematic way of removing such a bias, either by modifying the algorithm after training, or by systematically varying the set of criteria which is used to inform the algorithm in order to remove the bias without negatively affecting its predictive power.

A dataset of 7000 convicts and their criminal history after release from prison is available [[https://github.com/propublica/compas-analysis online]].

More generally, this could be used to avoid identifiability of specific groups in situations where such algorithms are used. This could apply for example to online shopping, in order to avoid discrimination.

Hi! this is really cool! I don't know if you have read the MITRE-SFI Challenge problems on Predicting Cascade Size in Financial Markets - using the framework of self-organized criticality. I'm putting a copy of it here, in case you get interested.

"Can we use simulation and history to predict the size of cascading events in the future? The dynamics of Self-Organized Critical (SOC) Systems are, by their very nature, very difficult to predict. The overall distribution of event sizes appears stationary but predicting the size of any given event is very difficult. For example, the canonical Bak Sandpile model shows a power law distribution for the sizes of sand avalanches. Although that distribution is stable, predicting the size of a given avalanche is very difficult (impossible?). Some have said that our critical infrastructure and financial markets are SOC systems. Others have claimed that they can predict the dynamics of these systems, especially financial markets. Does this make sense?
Can you take the Bak sandpile model and make any statements about future avalanche sizes based upon history? This prediction need not be specific, but could take the form of probabilities of larger or smaller avalanches occurring. Look broadly at the dynamics; for example, Sornette has found it useful to look at “draw-ups” and “draw-downs” or consecutive movements in the same direction (avalanches of increasing or decreasing size). Does this boil down to a sampling problem? If you had a time series of avalanches and some sense of the current state of the Bak sandpile could you do a better job of predicting the size of the next avalanche? If so, how accurate does your knowledge of the system need to be, does it need to include some information about where the next sand grain was likely to fall?" - [[Anjali Tarun | Anjali]]

== This is your side project! An interdisciplinary dialogue on modeling, from computer and theoretical models to their transposition into the empiric reality of the human glitch ==

===Keywords===
Interdisciplinarity, Epistemology, Fractals, Empirical Research

===Summary===

This project consists on creating real time Interdisciplinary dialogue. How we conceive and relate to our models, its pros and cons and, what can we learn from our different fields? What steps are needed for implementing awesome mathematical models into human reality so societies can actually integrate them? Hence, what are some of the gaps and challenges that we often encounter in the transmission of scientific knowledge into political, social and cultural systems?
What is the model for consciousness in your Complex Systems Field? Is it rational agents? Self emerging systems? Politics and health systems? Relation of bees and flowers? Human interactions in networks? Frankenstein supercomputers taking over the world? Sentient structures? Maybe no conscience at all! With this interdisciplinary soup we can see what emerges in our interactions.

You can think of it as a little oasis of reflection in the midst of the project frenzy…with a side project! So it’s taking a breath to reflect on what we are actually doing. And moreover, what does the application of our models imply? If what we do is useful, what use could that be, and how can we efficiently communicate that to people outside our fields (very often in the decision making processes or the receiving end).
In that sense, it is more like a workshop, with the final point integrating some of our exchanges. If the qualitative aspects for this interaction are non-predictable, we can hopefully arrive to some general conclusions and acquiring some meaningful insight in our fields...or bring up some interesting new questions!

So no brain frying needed into the wee hours of the night, it’s just taking some (restricted) time in 4 sessions to reflect on what our work implies in an interdisciplinary environment in an open and convivial setting.

Concretely, what you need to do is: Show up in time to the 4 sessions and exchange in dialogue. We present our models and how do we relate to them, why do we think they are important or working, or lacking, and then see if we can learn something from other models and transdisciplinary applications.

There will be a second phase to analyze the information gathered. It’s not mandatory to participate (for example due to time constraints from your main projects) but the people willing to do it can chip in with their skills to find a way to apply some of our models to our own process (in a way, like a fractal intake of our own medicine) and see what we can get out of this experience. For example, beyond the analysis on group dynamics, ideas and concepts sprouting, can we spot patterns from the waveform of the audio recorded from the sessions? Are there peaks correlated to certain ideas or sensible points? Would a time series analysis of this give out something of interest? As the group is established, do we see a form showing up, some bifurcation or change of state that is different form the end in regards to the beginning?

== Dynamic Information Routing on Complex Networks ==

===Keywords===
information flow, network dynamics, oscillator networks, attractors, characterizing influence of network components

===Summary===
Flexible information routing fundamentally underlies the function of many biological and artificial networks. Yet, how such systems may specifically communicate and dynamically route information is not well understood. Kirst et. al (2016) present a mechanism that routes information on top of collective dynamical reference states in complex networks. Switching between collective dynamics induces flexible reorganization of information sharing and
routing patterns, as quantified by delayed mutual information and transfer entropy measures between activities of a network’s units.

For this project, we are interested in characterizing nodes and network topologies that are especially influential on the routing of information flows on the overall network. Toward this end, we hope to identify attractors for this sort of high-dimensional complex network and, in so doing, identify the parameters that are most important in shaping information flows on the network. This work may also include re-exploration of metrics of directional information flow, network evolution, and/or application to neuroscience data.

==Expanding data sets through Complexity Distortion==

===Keywords===

===Summary===
Excerpt from a Microsoft Research paper, "Best Practices for Convolutional Neural Networks Applied to Visual Document Analysis",
Patrice Y. Simard, Dave Steinkraus, John C. Platt... 
"...Synthesizing plausible transformations of data is simple, but the “inverse” problem – transformation invariance – can be arbitrarily complicated. Fortunately, learning algorithms are very good at learning inverse problems. Given a classification task, one may apply transformations to generate additional data and let the learning algorithm infer the transformation invariance. This invariance is embedded in the parameters, so it is in some sense free, since the computation at recognition time is unchanged. If the data is scarce and if the distribution to be learned has transformation-invariance properties, generating additional data using transformations may even improve performance [6]. In the case of handwriting recognition, we postulate that the distribution has some invariance with respect to not only affine transformations, but also elastic deformations corresponding to uncontrolled oscillations of the hand muscles, dampened by inertia..."

==Acquiring Information: to learn an existing language or to develop your own?==

===Summary===
In situations where a problem's solution is presented in an unrecognizable language, we are interested in the trade-offs between learning that language and finding a solution in your own language. We intend to study several forms of language and information; the project could take many possible directions of widely varied scope:
*Linear algebra: is it "better" to diagonalize a matrix or to represent eigenvectors in a non-eigen basis?
*Computational mechanics: is it easier to learn/synchronize to an existing (perhaps non-optimal) model or to develop your own e-machine?
*
*(motivation) Indigenous lore: Is it better to learn about an ecological system by listening to the lore of a native population or by strictly adhering to western scientific methods?

==July 1 Opera==

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!
