RWTH Aachen University researchers developed PALADIN, a Pattern Language for Analyzing Disturbances in digital social Networks. PALADIN uses a graph-based model and pattern language to automatically analyze social networks for recurring disturbance patterns. It represents actors, media, artifacts and dependencies in a social network. PALADIN was tested on 10 disturbance patterns over 119 social network instances with over 17,000 individuals. The results showed PALADIN could detect different disturbance patterns and provide insights to network administrators. Future work will focus on interoperability, visualization of multidimensional disturbances, and integrating social network simulation.

Graph and language embeddings were used to analyze user data from Reddit to predict whether authors would post in the SuicideWatch subreddit. Metapath2vec was used to generate graph embeddings from subreddit and author relationships. Doc2vec was used to generate document embeddings based on language similarity between submissions and subreddits. Combining the graph and document embeddings in a logistic regression achieved 90% accuracy in predicting SuicideWatch posters, reducing both false positives and false negatives compared to using the embeddings separately. Next steps proposed using the embeddings to better understand similarities between related subreddits and predict risk factors in posts.Â
04 Diffusion and Peer Influence
The document discusses network diffusion and peer influence. It covers compartmental models of diffusion, how network structure affects diffusion through factors like distance, clustering, and highly connected nodes. Simulation studies show networks with shorter path distances, more independent paths between nodes, and higher clustering coefficients diffuse ideas and behaviors more quickly. The regression analysis finds these network structural characteristics strongly predict a network's relative diffusion ratio compared to random networks.
11 Network Experiments and Interventions
The document discusses different types of network experiments and interventions. It describes (1) assigning roommates randomly to manipulate networks and assess peer effects, (2) using natural experiments to manipulate exposure over existing networks, and (3) interventions that use networks to affect change. Specifically, it covers exogenous network experiments that randomly assign relationships, issues with experimental assignment, and four types of interventions: targeting individuals, segmentation, induction, and alteration.

10 More than a Pretty Picture: Visual Thinking in Network Studies
Visualization has been important in network science since its beginnings to make invisible structures visible. While metrics can describe networks, visualizations allow researchers to see relationships and patterns across multiple dimensions that numbers alone cannot reveal. Effective network visualizations communicate insights that would be difficult to understand otherwise, by depicting global patterns and local details simultaneously in a way that builds intuition about the network's structure and generating processes. However, challenges include lack of consistent display frameworks, integrating too much multidimensional information, and issues of scale for large and dynamic networks.

It also covers sociocentric measures like degree distributions, centralization, and density. Additionally, it explores local connectivity through triads, transitivity, and clustering coefficients as well as structural cohesion through components and cut points.
Social Network Analysis
This document outlines topics in social network analysis presented by Suman Banerjee of IIT Kharagpur. It introduces basics of modeling social networks as graphs and outlines several research issues including community detection, link prediction, opinion dynamics, influence propagation, and stability analysis. It also lists some tools, journals, conferences, and top researchers in the field of social network analysis.
02 Network Data Collection
This document discusses considerations for collecting social network data through surveys. It addresses research design elements like defining the relevant population boundaries and sampling approaches. For surveys specifically, it covers informed consent, name generator questions to identify social ties, response formats, and balancing depth of network detail collected versus sample size. The key challenges are defining the theoretical population of interest, collecting a sufficiently large and representative network sample, and designing survey questions that accurately capture social ties within time and resource constraints.
01 Introduction to Networks Methods and Measures
This document provides an introduction to social network analysis. It discusses how networks matter through two fundamental mechanisms: connections and positions. Connections refer to the flow of things through networks, viewing networks as pipes. Positions refer to relational patterns and networks capturing role behavior, viewing networks as roles. The document also covers basic network data structures including nodes, edges, directed/undirected ties, binary/valued ties, and different levels of analysis such as ego networks and complete networks. It provides examples of one-mode and two-mode network data.

13 An Introduction to Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models (aka SIENA)
This document provides an introduction to Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models (SAOMs), also known as SIENA models. It discusses when SAOMs are appropriate to use, provides an overview of the general SAOM form, and covers key components like the network and behavior objective functions and rate functions. The presentation also outlines how SAOMs are estimated and fitted to data, provides an empirical example, and discusses extensions. SAOMs model how networks and behaviors change over time as actors make micro-level decisions to maximize their objective functions.

Dorner Helga: INVESTIGATING PATTERNS OF INTERACTION IN THE CALIBRATE PROJECT
This document describes a study that used social network analysis to investigate participation patterns in two phases of the CALIBRATE online collaboration project. Teachers from several European countries collaborated online to evaluate and create learning objects for a digital learning repository. In Phase One, 23 teachers collaborated in subject-specific groups over email and a virtual learning environment. In Phase Two, 20 teachers collaborated in one group in a different virtual environment. The study analyzed message logs and interaction data to identify the most active/passive participants, how balanced participation was, how dense the networks were, and the role of the online facilitator. Key findings included identifying central and peripheral participants, how participation balanced changed across threads and phases, and that the facilitator's role evolved during the

1) Introduces social network analysis and why networks are important in social science. Networks matter because of connections that allow diffusion and because positions in networks influence roles and behavior.
2) Discusses research design considerations for collecting network data, including specifying relations of interest based on theoretical mechanisms, boundary selection, and sampling approaches.
3) Addresses accuracy of network survey data and how to handle inaccurate or missing data. The goal is to systematically understand connections between actors using empirical network data and analysis methods.
Contextualized versus Structural Overlapping Communities in Social Media.
This slide deck summarizes research on detecting overlapping community structures in social media networks. It discusses challenges in detecting contextualized overlapping communities based on post content. The key research questions are how structural community detection is affected by adding contextual similarities between users, and whether combining content and structure can improve detection performance. Several baseline structural detection algorithms are described, including DMID, SLPA, SSK, and CLIZZ. The presentation then proposes two content-based detection methods, CFOCA and TCMA, and combining content and structural values.
ICPSR - Complex Systems Models in the Social Sciences - Lecture 3 - Professor...
This document provides a summary of Stanley Milgram's small world experiment and discussion of complex network models. It discusses how Milgram found that the average path length between individuals in society is around 6 degrees of separation. Later work by Watts and Strogatz showed that networks with a small amount of randomness can display both clustering and small world properties. Degree distributions and other network measures like clustering coefficients and connected components are discussed. Preferential attachment models that generate power law degree distributions are presented.
Sinks Method Paper Presentation @ Duke Political Networks Conference 2010
This document proposes and evaluates distance measures for dynamic citation networks. It discusses how standard community detection methods do not capture the expected stability of relationships in citation networks. The authors introduce a distance measure based on the idea that two documents are more similar if they share more common "sinks", or ideas introduced into the network. They test this sink-based distance measure through simulations and on a United States Supreme Court citation network, finding it performs better than standard approaches at revealing stable communities over time.
Urban Agents and Citizen Apps
This document summarizes Fabio Carrera's research interests and projects related to developing an "Ambient Urban Platform" using autonomous agents and citizen apps for interactive urban planning. Some of the key projects discussed are the Venice Project Center, City Knowledge/City Lab, Santa Fe Project Center, Digital Earth Watch (DEW) project with NASA, and StreetBUMP project with the City of Boston. The goal is to develop a platform that integrates crowdsourcing data from mobile apps, sensors, and citizens to model and visualize urban systems and enable participatory decision-making.

Unmetric facebook analysis
Facebook posts can be analyzed to identify customer sentiment and trends. A study of posts found that negative sentiment made up 39.3% of comments, with the most common issues relating to shipping and delivery delays. Sentiment analysis of social media provides insights into customer experiences that can help companies improve customer service.
Designing The Social In
Sign In allows users to access personalized information stored on a host site or applications that require authentication. It is used when personal data needs to be stored, when customization is unique to each user, or when the site acts as a repository for user-generated content. Sign In establishes a user's identity and presence on a site.
User behavior model & recommendation on basis of social networks
At present social networks play an important role to express people's sentiment and interest in a particular field. Extracting a user's public social network data (what the user shares with friends and relatives and how the user reacts over others' thought) means extracting the user's behavior. Defining some determined hypothesis if we make machine understand human sentiment and interest, it is possible to recommend a user about his/her personal interest on basis of the user's sentiment analyzed by machine. Our main approach is to suggest a user regarding the user's specific interest that is anticipated by analyzing the user's public data. This can be extended to further business analysis to suggest products or services of different companies depending on the consumer's personal choice. This automation will also help to choose the correct candidate for any questionnaire. This system will also help anyone to know about himself or herself, how one's behavior may influence others. It is possible to identify different types of people such as- dependable people, leadership skilled, people of supportive mentality, people of negative mentality etc.
the near future of tourism services based on digital traces
Digital objects used by tourists such as mobile phones and cameras leave a large amount of traces. The phone can indeed be geolocated through cell-phone antennas or GPS and digital cameras take pictures that people can upload on web sharing platforms such as Flickr. All of this enable new application that allow to count tourists or provide them with new sorts of services. Based on existing experiments, the presentation will describe how the tourism industry can benefit from these digital traces to obtain new representations of tourists activities and to build up new services based on them
4 urbact iufn
Sustainable food systems are not widely recognized as a priority issue or challenge for cities in OECD countries. A survey conducted in France found that while some local sustainable food actions exist, like community gardens and short distribution chains, sustainable food governance is not generally a political priority and there is a gap between rhetoric and action. To strengthen urban food systems, the document argues that cities need to mainstream sustainable food policies, engage stakeholders through governance, support local food production and planning, and take a human rights approach to food systems. The International Urban Food Network aims to contribute by sharing knowledge through events and an online platform.
R5 What Is The Impact Of Urban Activities
Urban activities have significant impacts on the environment. As more people move to cities, urban areas consume more resources and generate more pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, compact urban development can help reduce these impacts by promoting public transportation, walkability, and resource efficiency.
Urban Impact Framework
This document provides a framework for developing innovative recommendations to shape urban planning. It outlines an approach involving systemic thinking, revisiting conventional wisdom, and framing key questions. The analysis examines sectors as complex systems, understands trends/forces, and assesses performance. A historical analysis is conducted. The current state, emerging issues, and a desired future vision are described. Recommendations are developed using a three horizons framework and solution design principles. Solutions are evaluated based on desirability, feasibility, viability, and impact.

Points of distribution (PODs) are temporary locations established following a disaster to distribute life-sustaining supplies to the affected population. PODs are set up when commercial infrastructure is damaged and unable to support the population. They are closed as commercial resources are restored. The number of PODs needed depends on remaining infrastructure, population size, and jurisdiction's distribution capabilities. POD planning requires large, hard surfaces that can accommodate supply trucks and areas for unloading, traffic flow, stockpiles, and public access. Locations like schools, airports, and athletic fields are often used. Staffing PODs requires government agencies, non-profits, volunteers, and civic groups to operate effectively. Thorough training is also required on
Zipf distribution
The document describes how to generate combinations of items according to a Zipf distribution. It explains that the Zipf distribution assigns probabilities to ranks, with the highest ranked item having the greatest probability and each subsequent rank having less probability. It then shows how to calculate the Zipf probabilities for a set of 5 items and generate all possible combinations of those items weighted by their Zipf probabilities.
Introduction to power laws
This document provides an introduction to power laws and discusses their properties. Power laws describe distributions where the frequency of values decreases as a power of the value. They often arise in natural and human-made systems. Some key points:
- Power laws follow a straight line when plotted on logarithmic scales, indicating the relationship p(x) = Cx-α.
- Exponents typically range from 2-3. Power laws often only apply above some minimum value xmin.
- Moments only exist when the exponent is greater than the moment order plus 1.
- Median and wealth distribution are determined by the exponent α. Power laws produce "scale-free" and "top-heavy" distributions.

3. Methods are proposed for expert finding in communities by analyzing storytelling and recommending experts based on their values and knowledge in the community.
Social Software and Community Information Systems
Social Software links social entities on the Internet. With this term we label new communication and collaboration media like wikis, blogs, social bookmarking but also traditional media supporting communities of practice. Scientific and professional communities challenge information systems engineering with high demands on traceable and secured collaboration and processing of scientific data. Flexibility, adaptation, interoperability are only a few requirements to mention.
With the advent of international standards XML-based standards like MPEG-7 for the handling of complex multimedia metadata and service oriented architectures engineers and community facilitators can create more generic services for the many communities with diverse but professional needs. Therefore, communities have to be incorporated in the community information systems engineering process.
In the talk we present a new reflective information system architecture called ATLAS offering self observation mechanisms for the establishment of a community-centered learning and improvement process for social software.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Â
