This week, scientists have been STUNNED by the possible discovery of room-temperature superconductivity. IF it is true, humanity might have passed a HUGE milestone. The impact will be WAY bigger than the combined impact by ChatGPT, artificial AI and anything else you’ve heard

Tomorrow we will present another paper at #KDD2023: "Adversaries with Limited Information in the Friedkin–Johnsen Model" led by Sijing Tu & joint with Aris Aris Gionis. This is part of a bigger agenda to develop a theory for what is going in online social networks. Read on.⬇️⬇️⬇️

Talk title, David Lazer: "The emergent logic of the Online Information Ecosystem" Talk title, Jon Kleinberg: "The Challenge of Understanding What Users Want: Inconsistent Preferences and Engagement Optimization"

First week of fall classes at Stanford. I'm teaching a new MS-level class, Social Algorithms, w/ detailed syllabus here: msande231.github.io/syllabus Draws on syllabi by @5harad Matthew Salganik | @msalganik.bsky.social Ashton Anderson & others. Input appreciated! Also, I'm now on the other place as jugander.

A random walk is Sₙ = X₁+⋯+Xₙ for IID sequence Xₙ. What is the probability that the first n terms are all negative? Interestingly, if Xₙ has a continuous and symmetric distribution, there is a simple answer which does not further depend on the distribution.

I'm looking for research assistants this semester to work on projects incl. data collection, analysis & running experiments to mitigate misinformation Ideal for third/final yr undergrads or masters students If you are interested please email me your CV or DM more below 👇

The final draft of Francis Bach's excellent new learning theory book is available: di.ens.fr/~fbach/ He doesn't cover VC dimension, but builds up from regression to general smooth losses, which is heresy of course, but actually fills a much-needed niche. Highly recommended!

The other platform is much better now. Please join us.
