[rede.APPIA] Fwd: 1+1 year postdoc in modelling collective behaviour using hypergraphs

Hi all,

I have received this postdoctoral position offer at naXys (Namur, Belgium). I would appreciate if you circulate it among potential candidates.

Thank you

Luis

Subject: 1+1 year postdoc in modelling collective behaviour using hypergraphs



Hi Luis,

Here, you can find a call for an open position at naXys (Namur Institute for Complex Systems) for a 2-year postdoc:

https://www.naxys.be/2021/11/postdoctoral-research-associate/


It is an interdisciplinary project in which the mathematics of the networks science and hypergraphs theory is used to design and predict the collective dynamics of robotics swarms, that I will supervise with colleagues in Namur (Elio Tuci and Timoteo Carletti).

I hope you could circulate it to the member of your group and to others who may be interested.

Thank you,
Giovanni

EvoStar comprises four co-located conferences run each spring at different locations throughout Europe. These events arose out of workshops originally developed by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing, established by the Information Societies Technology Programme of the European Commission, and they represent a continuity of research collaboration stretching back over 20 years.

http://www.evostar.org/2022/

EvoStar is organised by SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and its Surroundings. This non-profit academic society is committed to promoting evolutionary algorithmic thinking, with the inspiration of parallel algorithms derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information and exchange.

The four conferences include:

– EuroGP 25th European Conference on Genetic Programming
http://www.evostar.org/2022/eurogp/

– EvoApplications 25th European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary and bio-inspired Computation
http://www.evostar.org/2022/evoapps/

– EvoCOP 22nd European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation
http://www.evostar.org/2022/evocop/

– EvoMUSART 11th International Conference (and 16th European event) on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design.

[rede.APPIA] DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar – 9 Nov – Cartograms, and how to obtain them using SOM’s

DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar
Tuesday 9 November, 14:30
Speaker: Victor Lobo NOVA-Information Management School & Escola Naval
Title: Cartograms, and how to obtain them using Self-Organizing Maps and controling their Magnification Effect.
Zoom link: videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/84889120945
<videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/87373848710> Abstract: Cartograms are geographic representations where the area of each region is distorted to as to be proportional to a given variable of interest. The most common ones are population cartograms, where regions with large populations are enlarged, squeezing the regions with less population. To obtain a good cartogram, not only each regions should occupy an area proportional to the variable of interest, but at the same time the necessary distortions should allow the users to still recognize the map. Several examples of cartograms shall be given, together with the algorithms that produce them. Finally, a method based on Self-Organizing Maps, named CartoSOM will be presented, together with a recent improvement based on a better estimation of the “Magnification Effect” of the SOM.
