This study shows that rising political polarization is linked to an increase in distorted language patterns—commonly associated with anxiety and depression—highlighting a link between political expression and cognitively distorted thinking

Ya es oficial: recibí una beca Fulbright @FulbrightArg para visitar el laboratorio de @kcore_analytics en el City College de New York. Vamos a trabajar en redes dinámicas, percolación y acceso conciente en el cerebro humano @BrainlatUAI @Psicologia_UAI @UAI_CL

David Wolpert + I @sfiscience are editing a special issue @Entropy_MDPI on foundations of biological computation. Please submit if you work on neural or molecular circuits, GRN's or social circuits. We particularly seek mechanistic papers on computation.

Do you work on how molecular, cellular, neural or social systems compute from pov of biology, physics, computer science, or collective behavior? David Wolpert + I @sfiscience r editing a unique issue @Entropy_MDPI on foundations of biological computation

Collective computation: A starting point for building a theory for how biological systems compute is identification of info processing + circuit design principles that apply in neural circuits, GRN's, + social circuits. A Liqun Luo review @ScienceMagazine

Giorgio Parisi – awarded this year’s #NobelPrize in Physics – discovered hidden patterns in disordered complex materials. His discoveries are among the most important contributions to the theory of complex systems.

Great team work with Rafael Bomfim during his visit to our lab, and other colleagues from multiple institutions. @t_yamana @vascofurtado @kcore_analytics

@kcore_analytics was right.
Biden is officially the 46th President of the USA.

Prediction of 277 votes for Biden.
As a reminder in 2016, the predictions of the same AI concluded the victory of Trump.

Theoretically this made sense quite early on, but the practical problem is always how to identify those people (or places) prospectively in time to make a difference rather than retroactively when it's useless.

Major contribution toward a theory of optimal quarantine. Shows that a 'cream skimming' approach of quarantining the top ~2% of people with the greatest betweenness centrality has more effect in pandemic suppression that indiscriminately quarantining 90% of the population.

Last fall, we gathered @sfiscience workshop on biology & computation. Contribute to special issue @Entropy_MDPI if you find the idea that “biological systems compute.” intriguing.

CI will embrace a broad-minded approach to assessing performance. Any collective system in which a functional output is produced is fair game, from bird flocks to neural + cellular circuits to human teams to robot swarms based on principles from study of active granular materials

One of our goals in establishing Collective Intelligence is to build a diverse community of scholars. If you know of researchers working on collective phenomena from physics to social science who would bring new voices + perspectives to CI please contact me thru @twitter. Thanks!

Forthcoming—COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE—a new, open access journal devoted to theoretical + empirical foundations of CI across levels + substrates frm organizational behavior + CS to biology + physics. Chief editors--@ipeirotis, @Scott_E_Page, @geoffmulgan + @c4computation. More soon

Makse's (@kcore_analytics) @pnasnews paper provides good intro to fibration symmetries + conceptual merits of this approach. Added bonus @sfiscience’s Murray Gell-Mann’s work using symmetry principles to identify quarks is cited via The Quark + Jaguar tinyurl.com/yycptxpc
