network analysis

Talk by Dr Sebastian Ahnert, Dept. of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology (University of Cambridge) & Alan Turing Institute

This presentation, by Dr Eduard alvarez, Dr Oliver Dunn (Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure), Dr Xuesheng You ((Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure) ) and Dr Eduard Alvarez-Palau (and Open University of Barcelona) was given at the inaugural conference of the European Network for the Comparative History of Population Geography and Occupational Structure (ENCHPOPGOS held at Robinson College, Cambridge in September 2017.

Lucio Rennó (University of Brasília) gives a talk at the workshop on Coalitional Presidentialism at the Federal Congress of Brazil, Brasília.

An increasing amount of social interaction is taking place online: analyzing this data computationally offers enormous potential to address long-standing scientific questions, and to harness and inform the design of future social computing applications. With an increasing amount of social interaction taking place online, we are accumulating large amounts of data about phenomena that were once essentially invisible to us: the collective behaviour and social interactions of hundreds of millions of people. Analyzing this data computationally offers enormous potential to address both long-standing scientific questions, and to harness and inform the design of future social computing applications. In this talk, Jure discusses how the computational perspective can be applied to questions involving the structure of online networks and the dynamics of information that flow through such networks.
