Complex Systems Studies

DDSA provides funding for national and international bachelor’s and master’s degree students, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to spend time with new research groups of interest in Denmark.

The purpose of the grant is to give students and young researchers the opportunity to form the basis for a future PhD or Postdoc fellowship application in collaboration with a potential supervisor from a Danish university or a Danish research institution.

How to Make Your Research Reproducible

Science is about standing on the shoulders of giants – making new discoveries and building new applications by reusing foundations laid by others. But however collaborative a process science is, we don’t always make it easy. Have you ever tried but failed to reproduce someone else's reported research results? How about your own results? According to scientific research, this is not uncommon in academia, which has led to the phenomenon being dubbed as "the reproducibility crisis". And reproducibility is just the first step of reusability.

In this webinar, we will discuss the challenges in reproducibility and reusability of scientific data, methods, and computer code. What do the terms really mean and how can we take steps to improve our work to take them into account.

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in physics used tools from physics to construct methods that helped lay the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning.

The Hopfield network can store patterns and has a method for recreating them. When the network is given an incomplete or slightly distorted pattern, the method can find the stored pattern that is most similar.

A 2019 study, by looking at citation networks, found that papers with more authors tend to receive more citations — large teams are good at developing a field. However, they found that the smallest teams — between one and three authors — were significantly more likely to publish disruptive results that could change the course of a field. So, in terms of sheer creativity, smaller groups seem to have an advantage.

#PhD fellowship in the emergence of social network structures at SODAS❗

Social networks (the patterns of social interactions between individuals) show high structural diversity across humans and non-human animal species, and these structures affect important processes such as the spread of disease and information. This PhD is part of a larger project called ‘New computational approaches for understanding the emergence of social network structures’, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

The deadline for applications is: 23:59 CETS on October 6, 2024❗

#Postdoc in social network emergence and methodology at SODAS! 👀

This postdoc is part of a larger project called ‘New computational approaches for understanding the emergence of social network structures’, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The postdoc will likely work on exploring a new idea for how information about underlying processes can be extracted from network data, in collaboration with the project team.

The deadline for applications is: 23:59 CETS on October 6, 2024❗

علوم اجتماعی محاسباتی چیه؟
آینده‌ش چه جوریه؟

علوم اجتماعی محاسباتی (Computational Social Science) یک شاخه جدید و میان‌رشته‌ای است که علاوه بر روش‌های سنتی مانند نظرسنجی‌ها، از ابزارهای محاسباتی و داده‌هایی مثل فعالیت‌های آنلاین، شبکه‌های اجتماعی و اطلاعات دیجیتال برای مطالعه و تحلیل رفتارها و روابط اجتماعی استفاده می‌کند.

این علم به ما کمک می‌کند تا الگوهای پیچیده در جوامع انسانی را بهتر بفهمیم، رفتارهای گروهی را پیش‌بینی کنیم، و تأثیر سیاست‌ها یا رویدادهای مختلف را بر جامعه ارزیابی کنیم. به طور خلاصه، علوم اجتماعی محاسباتی ترکیبی از داده‌ها، فناوری و تحلیل‌های اجتماعی است تا تصویری دقیق‌تر از جهان اجتماعی ارائه دهد.
