CSH Talk by Martin Proks: “Revisiting Transitions between Superstatistics”
The lecture by Martin Prokš from Czech Technical University in Prague will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Room 201. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract This work aims to provide an accurate method for a detection of a transition between Superstatistics. A slight improvement over the currently published method is achieved. Superstatistics framework is briefly recalled and a rather new concept of transition of Superstatistics, introduced by Beck and Xu…

The lecture by Markus Strauss from the CSH Vienna will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Room 201. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract: Multimorbidity is a major health issue, especially in the elderly, and better understanding the complex higher-order interactions between diseases is a goal of this work. In this seminar talk, I present our machine learning based approach of building an interpretable predictive model to characterize the multimorbid health state…

The lecture by Mirta Galesic from Santa Fe Institute will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Room 201. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract Diversity of opinions is known to improve group performance on complex tasks. One way to achieve group diversity is by bringing together people with different personal characteristics, such as gender, ethnicity, and age. In this talk I will describe several additional ways to increase group diversity by…

The lecture by Henrik Olsson from Santa Fe Institute will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Room 201. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract Decisions and forecasts are often done in groups rather than by isolated individuals. Examples are teams of health care professionals assessing patients’ chances to recover from cancer, Federal Open Market Committee deciding upon the federal funds rate, and academic committees making hiring and funding decisions. It is typically…

This workshop is organized by Aniko Hannak, CSH Vienna. Abstract This workshop aims to bring together researchers around the topics of bias and accountability in algorithmically aided systems. Specifically we will discuss examples of systems where algorithms can be harmful, how users' perception and interactions with these services affects outcomes, and finally research ideas and opportunities for designing accountable systems. The event is jointly organized by the Privacy and Sustainable Computing Lab of WU and the Complexity Science Hub, and…

The lecture by Thorsten Heinrich from University of Oxford will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Room 201. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract Technological change and industrial organization are connected on many levels: Where do new technologies emerge?, how do they diffuse in the industry and among consumers?, what impact does this have on the characteristics of the cross-sectional distribution of firms? Technologies do not evolve isolated: They rely…

CSH Workshop: “Current challenges in nonlinear regulatory system dynamics & evolution”
This workshop is organized by Rudolf Hanel, Medical University of Vienna & CSH Vienna. Abstract This workshop is intended to advance questions about the interplay of structure, dynamics, and evolution of non-linear regulatory systems, which are key to understanding a broad spectrum of phenomena of fundamental interest, covering dynamics of cellular organisms at a molecular level, societies, or entire ecosystems from local to global scales. The maybe most central question we may currently ask and possibly answer in this context…
