NEXT DATA SCIENCE NIGHT ONLINE:  December 1


​5.15 p.m.  Data Science Night Meet + Greet
Link to join Gather from Chrome/Firefox.
Alternatively, join the zoom to be redirected to Gather, or choose to stay on zoom for chatting. 
Gather password is distributed on slack, email invitations, and will be available on zoom! 

5.30 p.m. Code+Cookies on Gather Town
Link to join Gather from Chrome/Firefox. Password distributed on slack and during webinar.
Poll for hybrid format
Pre-talk "hacking" with code available for people to play with on Google colab (python in jupyter notebook). The code simulates game theory (Prisoner's Dilemma) on a real social network. For people less comfortable with coding, there will also be options for people to describe changes for a moderator to implement and simulate. 

6.30 p.m. Games on complex networks

Presenters
  • Petter Holme - Tokyo Institute of Technology

Abstract: 
We can understand many situations in society and nature as game-theoretical interactions over social networks. Sometimes there is feedback from the game payoffs to the social network formation, sometimes not. In this talk, I will review some of the key results in the field and my contributions (typically taking the network structures from empirical data). Finally, I will present some of the main challenges for the future, including how to integrate the game theory of social actors into large-scale climate modeling.

Bio:
Petter Holme earned his PhD in theoretical physics at Umea University, Sweden in 2004. His thesis titled the "Form and Function of Complex Networks" exists as a book. Among his works, he has 3 books on temporal networks. He is currently a Specially Appointed Professor at the Institute of Innovative Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. Holme aims to bridge data science and theory in social sciences and public health.
We are also on meetup!

IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS​
We'll attempt our best to realize them.

Also we will assist you, if you want to lead a project or learning group, and gain visible data science leadership.

Since the Data Science Nights, and the project- and learning groups, are organized and hosted by volunteers, we need your help.

​We encourage diversity in topics, skill levels, and academic backgrounds.
