The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I started studying architecture, but after two weeks, I realised I didn’t want to study buildings. I wanted to study something living, so I switched to an animal science program. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

How can we unravel the complex history of networks?

Futurum

Dr Min Xu, a statistician specialising in network analysis at Rutgers University, has developed a probabilistic model that can determine how a network has grown, which not only has applications in epidemiology, but is also useful in social science, genetics and counter-terrorism efforts. What is a network? “A

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains. But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”. Perhaps the AI is based on a huge neural network, with billions of numerical parameters that can get tweaked. Let’s look at a very simple case.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.

Delve Talks: Winnie Karanja, Maydm

Maydm

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And I just have a deep appreciation of culture and history and architecture. But I really was great at math.
