Network Science

Network Science is a new journal for a new discipline -- one using the network paradigm, focusing on actors and relational linkages, to inform research, methodology, and applications from many fields across the natural, social, engineering and informational sciences. Given growing understanding of the interconnectedness and globalization of the world, network methods are an increasingly recognized way to research aspects of modern society along with the individuals, organizations, and other actors within it.

EPJ Data Science - a SpringerOpen journal

EPJ Data Science  - a SpringerOpen journal | CxAnnouncements | Scoop.it

The 21st century is currently witnessing the establishment of data-driven science as a complementary approach to the traditional hypothesis-driven method. This (r)evolution accompanying the paradigm shift from reductionism to complex systems sciences has already largely transformed the natural sciences and is about to bring the same changes to the techno-socio-economic sciences, viewed broadly.

10 years of "A New Kind of Science"

10 years of "A New Kind of Science" | CxAnnouncements | Scoop.it

Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science was published almost 10 years ago on May 14, 2002.

As a part of the 10th anniversary celebration, they are inventorying advances in NKS from the past decade: published and unpublished work motivated by NKS, including papers, artwork, programs, and products.

Should you have or known a project motivated by NKS (completed or in progress) they would love to hear from you. Please send information about the project to nks-advances@wolfram.com.

Workshop on "Cognitive Dynamics in Neural Systems: Mathematical and Computational Modeling", Lyon, France, March 29-30

Workshop on "Cognitive Dynamics in Neural Systems: Mathematical and Computational Modeling", Lyon, France, March 29-30 | CxAnnouncements | Scoop.it

Animals are proof that complete cognitive systems can be realized in neural substrates. It is thus natural that engineers from AI and machine learning have tried to design advanced cognitive systems on the basis of artificial neural networks. This has led to illuminating concepts and architectures in fields like computational linguistics, dynamic pattern recognition, autonomous agents, or evolutionary robotics. However, if one takes a close and critical look, one finds that nowhere do artificial systems close to biological levels of performance. One important cause for this gap is a lack of appropriate mathematical concepts. Biological neural systems are high-dimensional, nonlinear, heterogeneous, multiscale, nonstationary, stochastic, and heavily input-driven - a cocktail of properties which overwhelms current dynamical systems theory. Inasmuch as we do not possess mathematical models for such systems, we cannot understand them; and inasmuch as we do not understand, we cannot engineer. ...

ASSYST - Action for the Science of complex SYstems and Socially intelligent icT

One of the main goals of the ASSYST Coordination Action is to promote Complex Systems for Socially Intelligent ICT (COSI-ICT) and, more generally, Complex Systems (CS) Science in Europe and Worldwide. We do this by communicating widely with scientists, policy makers, and business people, and by showcasing success stories of CS applications.

3 PhD positions on evolution of speech, VUB, Belgium

3 PhD positions on evolution of speech
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium
Deadline: July first 2012
Envisaged starting date: September 2012

The AI-lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is looking for three PhD students that will work on Bart de Boer’s European Research Council project “ABACUS”. The ABACUS project investigates (evolution of) cognitive mechanisms for dealing with combinatorial speech. It uses a combination of iterated learning experiments, individual learning experiments and computational modeling. For each of these lines of research, a PhD position is available. The PhDs of the different projects are expected to cooperate closely with each other.

Master in Science Intelligent Adaptive Systems - Universität Hamburg

Master in Science Intelligent Adaptive Systems - Universität Hamburg | CxAnnouncements | Scoop.it

Intelligent systems and robots are expected to become an integral part of our daily lives. In order to be accepted by, and interact efficiently and naturally with humans, they have to adapt to changing environments as well as the users they interact with. Intelligent systems are not only expected to automatically acquire and manage knowledge through a variety of sensors but also to learn and optimise their behaviour over time. This International Master’s programme aims to provide students with the ability to create these intelligent adaptive systems and to prepare them for a future market, where intelligent behaviour is considered the standard for computer systems.
