Complexity and Connection Science @ VUW

Based @VicUniWgtn we work on #complexity #networks #emergence & develop computational tools that aim to securely & meaningfully augment human intelligence.

Great to see Béatrice Désy at #netsci2023 @netsci2023 presenting work with amazing colleague @nick_golledge. Sadly have to watch from a distance. /cc @vuwC2lab

According to @ronaldomenezes photo the other day there are 6 people from Oceania at #netsci2023. At least 3 are from Aotearoa and represent @PunahaMatatini. There's fellow PIs @droneale and @emilynz. And, of course, Béatrice Désy from our own @vuwC2lab.

A while ago @ronald_fischer got us thinking about the role of measurement invariance in the behavioral and social sciences. Here's a new version of our preprint: https://t.co/HN9nqx6ABD Thread about main points in quoted tweet. /cc @clauwa @mstrohm @susanjhalford @SilkeRoth

An article I'm specifically excited to see published now in @CACMmag: "The Veracity Grand Challenge in Computing: A Perspective from Aotearoa New Zealand". Here's why. 1/n #research #computing #science #ScienceTwitter #Veracity #trust #truth #authenticity #computer #technology

What an exciting new project @uvmcomplexity on "The "Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories". A short thread about why we @vuwC2lab are curious about this topic. 1/n #science #stories #complexity #NLProc #digitalhumanities

Congratulations to @BaNguyenX for defending his PhD thesis. If you want to learn about his work on International Research Collaboration Measurement, read his papers such as https://t.co/qZ0SbBF2pZ in @QSS_ISSI or https://t.co/nl7xCIBqhh and https://t.co/f9ZJ7YiX7K #bibliometrics

[Markus Luczak-Roesch @MLuczak]

Incredibly proud of @vuwC2lab @imVICnz member @BaNguyenX who successfully defended his PhD yesterday. Committee requires some but not too extensive changes & applauded Ba for substantial scholarship & a total of 11 manuscripts that are either under review or already published.

Okay twitter blue has been such a success I need to do a thread. Feel free to add to the 🧵on the great launch of this product

[Markus Luczak-Roesch @MLuczak]

In 2015 we started some thinking on whether we can capture formally when groups of people may contribute to a collectively intelligent or meaningful outcome without being centrally and purposefully coordinated. #collectiveintelligence 1/n

@CillaWehi @imVICnz Can we capture human personality from text? https://t.co/nsUHfBl4RR

Want to learn about options for postgrad research with our lab in 2023? Info session today and we are open to meet on demand to discuss. Thread!

[Markus Luczak-Roesch @MLuczak]

We're hosting an @imVICnz info session about postgrad research topics /w free pizza on level 12 at Rutherford House in Wellington today at noon. If you or someone you know is considering Honours or Master's study, please come along and spread the word so others do so as well. 1/n

What does it mean when #politicians say "We follow the #science" on #covid19? Lead author @Nancy_VicUniPhD from @vuwC2lab got a new paper published. "A computational approach to study the gap and barriers between science and policy" https://t.co/1VTY7qx8Ex #policy 1/n

"this complexity reveals that our current understanding of the actual structure of those systems [...] is incomplete, which raises novel questions for data science research but also from the perspective of social epistemology." 2/2
