==Going to Albuquerque on July 5th==

Organizing Ubers/Lyfts or personal cars for people needing to go to Albuquerque on July 5th. Please list your name if you need a ride to Albuquerque airport on July 5th. Also, list what time you need to be there for your flight. My flight (Andrew) is not until 16:30, but am happy to go earlier.

# Kazu (7:00 departure, might stay overnight in Albuquerque on the 4th)
# Pablo Franco (13:00 departure)
# Mikaela (13:07 departure)
# Harun (14:00 departure, will take the 7:37 train from 599)
# Andrew (16:30 departure, but will probably hang out in Albuquerque)
# Aabir (16:30 departure, happy to leave earlier)
# Pablo M. Flores (7:30 departure, might stay overnight in Albuquerque on the 4th)

==9:30AM Taxi to ABQ airport on July 5th==

Mark Chu is ordering an Uber from AIAI to ABQ Airport, departing at 930AM estimated to arrive at 1100AM.
Looking for total THREE passengers due to oversize luggage. Estimate cost per person is $33

# Mark
# Pablo Franco
# Mikaela Akrenius

 

==Weekend Shuttles==

A shuttle will be available to get you to and from downtown Santa Fe on Friday evening and Saturday mid-morning through the afternoon. The shuttle will be making runs back and forth between the downtown area and IAIA campus.

Shuttle schedule:

FRIDAY: 10:00pm - 1:00am

SATURDAY: 11:30am - 2:00pm and 10:30pm - 1:00am

We have two pickup spots:

Water & Sandoval at 269 W. Water Street

Railyard Pavillion at 1609 Paseo De Peralta

Please be prompt to pickup locations, as the shuttle will need to keep a tight schedule in order to stay on time. We also want to be respectful of Lorenzo's time, especially with the late-night pickups.

In the event a shuttle is overloaded, a to-and-from trip ("orbit") should be approximately 45 minutes.

The plan is to have the "beginning" return trip of the schedule depart from the Railyard location, with the final pickup night will departing from Water & Sandoval at 1:00am.

Final pickups for both days will be the Water & Sandoval location, so your worst-case scenario will be to meet the shuttle at 1:00am.

As a reminder, Uber and Lyft are also available and efficient ways of getting around.

 Completed Activities 

==White Sands==

Hello! Some of us are going to white sands on Saturday and have some spots left in cars if anyone wants to join

Car 1: Amy – leaving by 5:00 AM on Saturday morning (to get permits!)

* Lou
* Doug
* Jack
* Anshuman

Car 2: Adam (also leaving at 5am)

* Bhargav
* Paula
* Pablo Flores

Car 3: David (leaving at 5AM also)
*Aabir
*Chiara
*Ruggiero
*Shruti

Car 5 (rental):
*Patrick
*Backus
*Fabian
*Erwin

We can get permits for 2 campsites (up to 12 people). So, first come/first serve on the remaining spots. The drive is 4 hours from IAIA.

The spots are backpacking only – about 2 km walk from the car to a site (on sand). Please be sure to read this info page (https://www.nps.gov/whsa/planyourvisit/backpacking.htm). Expect it to be both very hot and probably quite chilly at night. A sleeping bag is necessary, lots of water, the ability to carry in/out food, and comfortable with no-bathroom conditions.

I think it’s easiest for each car to organize themselves – other than the permits (which I will grab), the rest of the details should be self-organized :)

Larremore Workshop: How To Rank Things & Pairwise Comparisons 2019

2019-06-24T06:44:42Z

PabloFlo:

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2019}}

Dan Larremore Workshop

Monday, June 24 @ 3:15pm in the conference room.

During lectures on networks and hierarchies, we discussed how a network representing the outcomes of discrete choices—Which wine is preferred? Swipe right or swipe left? Which team won the match?—can be used to find a ranking. In this workshop, we'll apply these methods by tasting, comparing, and ranking dozes of different salsas to find the most delicious. We'll also discuss topics like tournament design, adaptive tournaments, and the difference between a marketing study of salsa quality and a bracket-based tournament like the World Cup.

Zefferman Workshop 2019

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2019}}

Signup page for Matt Zefferman's workshop!

How do researchers reason through the steps of making evolutionary models? Here is your chance to try. On Monday Matt Zefferman will introduce evolutionary game theory and on Wednesday Liz Hobson will describe her empirical work on hierarchy and parakeet aggression. However, there currently isn't a theory about what hierarchical aggression strategies we should expect to evolve under different conditions. Matt and Liz have been thinking about modeling this and thought it would be a useful example for CSSS students interested in walking through the modeling process. When canonical models are presented in papers, coursework or textbooks there is often little information about how the sausage was made. Much like sausage-making - model-making is often not pretty. But hopefully you get delicious sausage at the end of the process. Also, like sausage-making most modeling is done in private. This will be Liz and Matt's first attempt to try it in public. The effort might fail spectacularly (this often happens more often than not), but going through the process can still be useful.

Limited to 20 spots, so we're going to run a lotto to decide seats. If you're interested, sign up here!

Complex Systems Summer School 2019-Tutorials

2019-06-14T18:23:57Z

PabloFlo: /* Interested Participants */

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2019}}

Please use this space to organize any tutorial you would like to offer your peers.

= Upcoming Tutorials =

==Nonlinear Dynamics Discussion Session - [https://wiki.santafe.edu/index.php/Daniel_Borrero Daniel Borrero] (9:30 AM 6/15 & 6/16)==

I've taught upper division/intro graduate level Nonlinear Dynamics a couple of times before. Given the quick pace of some of the lectures by the SFI faculty and people's various levels of familiarity with this material, I'd be glad to lead a couple of review/question and answer/clarification sessions for any of the Nonlinear Dynamics lectures (Liz Bradley, Josh Garland, Dave Feldman, Vicky Yang) if anybody is interested. I would also be glad to consult on any projects involving dynamical systems. The idea is to keep it pretty informal, low key, and organic. All levels of expertise welcome!

=== Suggested Date and Time ===
Given that brunch will not be served till 11 AM on Saturday and Sunday, I propose meeting in the lecture hall at 9:30 on Saturday 6/15 (and maybe on Sunday 6/16 if needed).

=== Interested Participants ===
Sign up below in the bulleted list below if you are interested. If you have experience with dynamical systems and would like to share your expertise, please feel free to join. You can add more slots as needed:
* Daniel Borrero (presenter)
* Jeongki Lim
* Andrea Bacilieri
* ...

If you can't make it and want to talk about any of these subjects, feel free to come chat with [https://wiki.santafe.edu/index.php/Daniel_Borrero me].

==Data Visualization and Aesthetics - [https://github.com/eonadler/Data-Visualization/blob/master/Matplotlib%20and%20Data%20Visualization%20Tutorial.ipynb Ethan Nadler] (8:00 PM 6/19)==

This will be a tutorial/"formal" discussion (i.e. with slides) aimed at data visualization in science, and its relation to art and aesthetics. It will roughly be organized as follows, depending on interest:

1. Overview/live-coding tutorial based on a Python data visualization workshop I've run in the past;

2. Discussion of specific examples: each attendee will send a favorite plot/visualization that *they have made* (likely from past research), and we'll discuss each as a group;

3. Discussion of general principles: interesting topics include, but are not limited to:
* What makes a plot beautiful?
* Do scientific data visualization and art have the same aesthetic aims?
* Are aesthetic biases reflected in scientific data visualization? (If so, how?)

=== Suggested Date and Time ===
8:00 PM on Wednesday, 6/19.

=== Interested Participants ===
* Ethan Nadler (presenter)

== Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics in Python - [[Bhargav_Srinivasa_Desikan|Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan]] ==

I thought that doing an introductory level tutorial in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics in Python would be useful/fun - it usually adds a very informative level of complexity to projects, even when it isn't the primary mode of inquiry. If you don't have textual data, I can also guide you through the process of mining data off the internet, either through web scraping or twitter - you can also do cool stuff like mailing entire WhatsApp chat histories to yourself, which means we could also do some funky meta Santa Fe WhatsApp chat analysis!

I've conducted similar tutorials before ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWSs325tGoc&t=70s PyData LA 2018], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkAFJwi-G98&t=6s PyData Berlin 2017]), and I also share all my material on GitHub in the form of [https://github.com/bhargavvader/personal/tree/master/notebooks/text_analysis_tutorial Jupyter Notebooks].
I've linked the videos and code so that you can have a brief look to see if it's stuff you might be interested in.

I'd be doing:

* finding text data
* pre-processing text data
* identifying your problem
* part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition
* topic modelling
* text classification
* text generation with neural nets
* word embeddings

=== Suggested Date and Time ===
The tutorial usually runs for an hour and a half (maybe 45 mins - break - 45 mins?). I was thinking of doing this some time next week, either on Tuesday (the 18th) or Thursday (the 20th). I reckon that would be enough time for people to figure out if this might be relevant to their work!
I'll update this section on Monday (17th) with exact time/place.

=== Interested Participants ===
(if anyone would like to conduct the tutorial with me or add more to it, very happy to collaborate!) 

# Bhargav (presenter) 
# Arta Cika
# Xin Ran
# Daniel Borrero
# Jackie Brown
# Pam Mantri
# Dee Romo
# Jeongki Lim
# Ernest Aigner
# Robert Coulter
# Winnie Poel
# Travis Moore
# Pablo M. Flores

=== Note ===

This would require pretty basic python programming skills, but I'll be walking everyone through the code. Even if you can't code it might be useful to know what kind of problems you can solve, and I'd be happy to link to resources to learning enough python to get started on your own. There has been interest in doing a general Machine Learning tutorial too: we can talk about this during the text tutorial to figure out what might be most useful for everyone!

I'm happy to chat with folks for suggestions on if they'd want more/less than what has been described!

([[Bhargav_Srinivasa_Desikan|this]] is what I look like if you want to find me)

= Past Tutorials =
== Nonlinear Dynamics Q&A w/ D. Borrero (6/10) ==
Informal discussion of various topics in Nonlinear Dynamics. Topics covered included:
* Taylor series and linearization of nonlinear systems
* Why the stability of the fixed point has to do with the slope of map at the fixed point (i.e., f'(x*))
* How to think about dynamical systems with continuous time systems ("flows") that are governed by differential equations in 1-dimension
* Why trajectories in chaotic systems diverge exponentially and where exactly a Lyapunov exponent comes from
* Floquet multipliers and diverge of trajectories in maps
* Where the quadratic term in the logistic map comes from
