“Statistics of complex systems: Towards a theory of driven out-of-equilibrium physics”
CSH president Stefan Thurner's talk is part of the Physikkolloquium at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz. Abstract We present a framework of driven out-of-equilibrium systems which are often at the core of complex adaptive systems. We show that driven systems that are composed of a driving process and a relaxation process, generically produce power law distributions for low driving rates. From the interplay of the driving rate with the relaxation processes we are able to understand the dynamical origin…

Simon Schweighofer and David Garcia will present their findings at the "Emotion and culture" session of the ISRE 2019 Conference, which takes place from July 11 to 13, 2019, in Amsterdam.

We tested this assumption by analyzing more than 17 Million public online messages from five social media in English, German, and Chinese. We applied established sentiment lexica, including the English, German,…

David Garcia will give this talk together with Bernard Rimé from Université de Louvain. The talk is part of the session "Emotions in and by Groups" at the ISRE 2o19 conference, which takes place in Amsterdam from July 10 to 13, 2019. Abstract After collective traumas like natural disasters and terrorist attacks, members of concerned communities experience intense emotions and talk profusely about them. While these exchanges resemble simple emotional venting, we hypothesized them to represent…
