Die Erforschung der Abwärtsspirale – Dr. Jochen Michely erhält Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für seine Depressionsforschung. Mit Methoden der Computational Psychiatry untersucht der Psychiater von der #CharitéBerlin, wie Stimmung und Kognition sich beim Menschen auf neurobiologischer Ebene gegenseitig beeinflussen. Damit will er der Ursache von Depressionen näherkommen. Mehr dazu hier: https://www.charite.de/forschung/themen_forschung/2024/erforschung_der_abwaertsspirale_bei_depressionen/

Looking for easy to use "phylogenomic" computational tools to take a set of genomes and using methods such as gene tree - species tree reconciliation to infer for each gene likely scenarios for gene loss, duplication, horizontal gene transfer, orthology (and maybe even novel gene invention).
A #computational #analysis of potential #algorithmic #bias on platform X during the 2024 US #election. This technical report presents findings from a two phase analysis investigating potential algorithmic bias in engagement metrics on X by examining Elon Musk’s account against a group of prominent users, subsequently comparing Republican-leaning versus Democrat-leaning accounts. Analysis reveals a structural engagement shift around mid-July 2024 https://eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/

Phys.orgYes. Rosen distinguished between #modeling and #simulation, arguing that the latter is not based on a genuine form of modeling relations.
So, as I've said, he questions the validity of using #computational approaches in biology, not reductionism per se, which is a much larger philosophical topic explained in another Wikipedia article .

"In fact, the first 45 words an officer utters – roughly the first 27 seconds of a stop – predict whether that stop will end with the officer handcuffing, searching, or arresting the driver.”

If you want to start your own research group in NRW (a state in Germany) the Return program ("Rückkehrprogramm") may be for you. For details follow the link below. In short: you have lived in Germany before, have spent some time abroad as postdoc, and you are doing / planning work in computational research (official topic: "future computing"). Deadline January 9, 2025. Please boost.

'#Antisemitism in #OnlineCommunication: Transdisciplinary Approaches to #HateSpeech in the Twenty-First Century' ed. by Matthias J. Becker, Laura Ascone, Karolina Placzynta & Chloé Vincent is out now!
The normalisation of hate speech, including antisemitic rhetoric, poses a significant threat to social cohesion and #democracy. While global efforts have been made to counter contemporary antisemitism, there is an urgent need to understand its online manifestations.
Hate speech spreads easily across the internet, facilitated by anonymity and reinforced by algorithms that favour engaging content. This book addresses these issues by analysing explicit and implicit antisemitic statements in mainstream online discourse. Drawing from disciplines such as #corpuslinguistics, #computational #linguistics, #semiotics, #history, and #philosophy, this edited collection examines over 100,000 user comments from three language communities.
