CASOS: Home | CASOS
CASOS brings together computer science, dynamic network analysis and the empirical study of complex socio-technical systems. Computational and social network techniques are combined to develop a better understanding of the fundamental principles of organizing, coordinating, managing and destabilizing systems of intelligent adaptive agents (human and artificial) engaged in real tasks at the team, organizational or social level. Whether the research involves the development of metrics, theories, computer simulations, toolkits, or new data analysis techniques advances in computer science are combined with a deep understanding of the underlying cognitive, social, political, business and policy issues.

The decline effect and the scientific method : The New Yorker
The funnel graph visually captures the distortions of selective reporting. For instance, after Palmer plotted every study of fluctuating asymmetry, he noticed that the distribution of results with smaller sample sizes wasn’t random at all but instead skewed heavily toward positive results. Palmer has since documented a similar problem in several other contested subject areas. “Once I realized that selective reporting is everywhere in science, I got quite depressed,” Palmer told me. “As a researcher, you’re always aware that there might be some nonrandom patterns, but I had no idea how widespread it is.” In a recent review article, Palmer summarized the impact of selective reporting on his field: “We cannot escape the troubling conclusion that some—perhaps many—cherished generalities are at best exaggerated in their biological significance and at worst a collective illusion nurtured by strong a-priori beliefs often repeated.”

From dusty punch cards, new insights into link between cholesterol and heart disease
His Livermore cohort study collected dust until 1988, when Williams discovered the study’s punch cards at the University of California, Berkeley’s Donner Hall. Realizing he had found an epidemiological goldmine, Williams verified the cards’ authenticity by examining logbooks. He also found an old punch card machine to extract their data. Then, with the help of students and research assistants, he located and contacted 97 percent of the people in Gofman’s study over the next nine years.

Why I Hate Mechanical Turk Research « cond = false
Ok, it’s not that I actually hate it, but in reviewing a number of Turk papers, reading many more, and listening to many, many, many more planned Turk projects I find myself increasingly frustrated.  Don’t get me wrong: we use it all the time in my group for evaluation purposes (or labeling training/test data).  It allows us to cheaply–an interesting debate in itself–evaluate a number of new ideas in front of a large population.

Pinboard Blog
One of my favorite places to work is the reading room of a large municipal library. It's a kind of half-private space where you have access to endless books, a desk with a little green-shaded lamp, and someone stern to shush people when they get too chatty. Working quietly with others is not forbidden, but you don't go there to socialize. You have room to spread out your materials and you can dive deep into the things that interest you. And you're surrounded by other people doing the same thing.

Social media success doesn’t start with ROI
“What’s the ROI of your receptionist? What’s the ROI of your parking? What’s the ROI of the paint on the walls? What’s the ROI of the landscapers,” said Scott as he continued on his ‘I hate the ROI-obsessed business culture’ rant. “The idea that everything has to come back to a measurable ROI is ludicrous. ”

It is a paper written by Balachander krishnamurthy (AT&T Labs), Phillipa Gill (Uni Calgary) and Martin Arlitt (HP Labs - Uni Calgary)

"Our goal is to characterize a novel communication network in depth, its user base and geographical spread, and compare results of different crawling techniques in the presence of constraints from a generic measurement point of view".

Changes at Google Scholar: A Conversation With Anurag Acharya
In its own quiet way, Google Scholar has become a major force in scholarly communication. For many researchers, faculty, and students, it is the first search tool used, challenging the popularity and utility of veteran databases licensed—often at considerable cost—by academic and corporate libraries. Yet announcements about changes in the constantly evolving service seem to occur rarely and with little ballyhoo. For example, did you know that Google Scholar has launched its own digitization project, separate from the high-profile Google Book Search mass digitization? Or what about the new Key Author feature? Or the expansion into non-English languages and non-U.S./Western European content? A conversation with Anurag Acharya, the designer and missionary behind Google Scholar, helped us catch up on the latest developments.

Google Librarian Central - Article 12/2006 - 3
When I interned at Google last summer after getting my MSI degree, I worked on projects for the Book Search and Google Scholar teams. I didn’t know it at the time, but in completing my research over the course of the summer, I would become the resident expert on how universities were approaching Google Scholar as a research tool and how they were implementing Scholar on their library websites. Now working at an academic library, I seized a recent opportunity to sit down with Anurag Acharya, Google Scholar’s founding engineer, to delve a little deeper into how Scholar features are developed and prioritized, what Scholar’s scope and aims are, and where the product is headed.

Only Collect « a historian’s craft
And the work is: Only Collect; that is to say, collect everything, indiscriminately. You’re five years old. Don’t presume too much to know what’s important and what isn’t. Photocopy journal articles, photograph archives; create bibliographies, buy books; make notes on every article or book you read, even if it’s just one line saying “Never read this again”; collect newspaper clippings and email them to yourself; collect quotes; save your ideas for future papers, future projects, future conferences, even if they seem wildly implausible now. Hoarding must become instinctual, it must be an uncontrollable, primal urge. And the higher, civilizing impulse that kicks in after the fact is organization, or librarianship. You must keep tabs on everything you collect, somehow; a system must be had, and the system must be idiot-proof. That is to say, you should be able to look back on it six months for now and not be completely stymied as to why you’ve organized things that way.

The Sir John Soane's Museum Web Page
Welcome to the web page of the house and Museum of Sir John Soane, R.A., architect.

Soane was born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, and died after a long and distinguished career, in 1837.

Soane designed this house to live in, but also as a setting for his antiquities and his works of art. After the death of his wife (1815), he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. Having been deeply disappointed by the conduct of his two sons, one of whom survived him, he determined to establish the house as a museum to which 'amateurs and students' should have access.

Tips for Using Delicious In (Doctoral) Research
del.icio.us is one of my most daily visited sites. Recently, I read a great post on the delicious blog about librarians and teachers using delicious more and more in their schools. This is an idea I think is fabulous and so I thought I might spell out a few ways I go about using this social bookmarking site for my doctoral research. I’ve been using delicious for at least a couple years now and have more than 3,300 websites bookmarked on my delicious page and a ridiculous amount of tags to go along with all those sites1. I use it for my blogging, I use it to send articles to friends, and most importantly I use it for my current research. I now find it indispensable in my daily schoolwork routine.

ASOP - The Antwerp Spider Research Project
Between September 2004 and October 2005, the first phase of a study of the spider fauna of Antwerp's inner city area was completed. Antwerp is the largest city in the north of Belgium. In the west it is bordered by the 400 meter wide river Scheldt, and the other sides by the ringway around the city. The oldest part is situated near the river. From there the city expands in concentric circles. During the first phase only the Sixteenth Century city area (marked in red) was examined. This research was noticed internationally by the press and the scientific community because of the surprising results in more than one area. The second phase (area marked in black) was started in april 2006 and runs upto april 2008. The results will be used to advise the Antwerp city council on ecological management of city green spots.

Read all about it: Simpler fonts make simpler tasks | Booster Shots | Los Angeles Times
Researchers at the University of Michigan worked with 20 students who were given the same instructions for an exercise routine printed in two different fonts. One was in Arial, an easy to read sans-serif font, and the other in Brush, a script font. They were asked to guess how long the routine would take, and were given a seven-point scale to rate the following: how quick it would feel, if it would flow naturally, drag on and feel boring, and how likely they were to incorporate it into their daily routine.

Health Beat: What Makes Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic Different?
Mayo is the outlier. Its culture is unusual because it is based on “the very egalitarian ethic of the people who established the place,” says Patterson, “and the fact that we’re in Minnesota”—a state with a longtime egalitarian tradition. As a result, “people have the opportunity to develop skills in whatever they want to do. Our nurses are superb at doing spinal taps, and they teach our residents.”

HOW I WORK
all our models involve silly assumptions. Given what we know about cognitive psychology, utility maximization is a ludicrous concept; equilibrium pretty foolish outside of financial markets; perfect competition a howler for most industries. The reason for making these assumptions is not that they are reasonable but that they seem to help us produce models that are helpful metaphors for things that we think happen in the real world.

Consider the example which some economists seem to think is not simply a useful model but revealed divine truth: the Arrow-Debreu model of perfect competition with utility maximization and complete markets. This is indeed a wonderful model -- not because its assumptions are remotely plausible but because it helps us think more clearly about both the nature of economic efficiency and the prospects for achieving efficiency under a market system. It is actually a piece of inspired, marvellous silliness.

Efficient Markets Hypothesis: History
Around this time, Leonard Jimmie Savage, who had discovered Bachelier’s 1914 publication in the Chicago or Yale library sent half a dozen “blue ditto” postcards to colleagues, asking “does any one of you know him?” Paul Samuelson was one of the recipients. He couldn't find the book in the MIT library, but he did discover a copy of Bachelier’s Ph.D. thesis.

Mark Smolinski: Detect Epidemics Before They Start
Back in May 1993, as a medical resident at the University of Arizona, Mark Smolinski volunteered for a shift with the state's Department of Health. Right after he started, Arizona and neighboring states were struck by a deadly outbreak of an unidentified respiratory illness. The young doctor found himself face-to-face with an emerging epidemic, part of a team that spent sleepless months struggling to contain the outbreak. "I was going from hospital to hospital trying to determine the patients' exposures," he recalls of his harrowing first assignment. "Almost all the cases were under the age of 30, and it had a very high mortality rate."

She didn’t sell the plane on eBay | Susan Crawford blog
When you’re inside a phase change, or a hurricane, it’s very difficult to understand what’s going on. It feels, right now, like an important time for online political participation. Yet *policy* itself isn’t being made online. Maybe what’s happening is the growth of the great radar screen of being. Lots of swarms and seething trails of information - too much for any one person to take in, but taken together and understood by machines and algorithms built for benevolent and other reasons, the radar screen is becoming visible.

Labor Markets and Business Cycles
This paper does not speak directly to the cyclicality of unemployment and vacancies; however, the paper, and my recent research more generally, suggests that we should not necessarily think of unemployed workers as engaged in a search-intensive activity. Unemployment may instead be a consequence of adverse shocks to the value of human capital. Symmetrically, job vacancies need not be a sign of firms' effort to recruit new workers, but rather of their inability to do so. I am continuing to pursue the broader implications of these preliminary findings.

NAFEX
The North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) is a network of individuals throughout the United States and Canada devoted to the discovery, cultivation and appreciation of superior varieties of fruits and nuts. Founded in 1967 by a small group of pomological hobbyists, NAFEX has grown to an organization of more than 3,000 members, and is chartered as a nonprofit organization in the state of Illinois. Although the ranks of our membership include professional pomologists, nurserymen, and commercial orchardists, NAFEX members are all AMATEURS in the truest sense of the word; they are motivated by their LOVE of fine fruit.

Antique Radio Classified--Restoration Topics
My grandfather was a remarkable man who was fascinated by technology and built all kinds of electronic and mechanical gadgetry during his lifetime. He started working on electronic home projects in an era when components were only just becoming available to hobbyists. Among other things, he built electronic musical instruments, radios, and even a TV, around which all the neighbors gathered to watch some of the first BBC broadcasts from the Crystal Palace in London where he lived. In the late 1940s, he built an electronic wire recorder. Tape recording had not yet been introduced commercially and steel wire, thinner than a human hair, was the only medium available for making audio recordings. Although by this time wire recorders were being introduced to the domestic market in America, in Britain they were still a rarity, confined mainly to the military and to offices where they were used as dictaphones.

Official Google Research Blog: All Our N-gram are Belong to You
Here at Google Research we have been using word n-gram models for a variety of R&D projects, such as statistical machine translation, speech recognition, spelling correction, entity detection, information extraction, and others. While such models have usually been estimated from training corpora containing at most a few billion words, we have been harnessing the vast power of Google's datacenters and distributed processing infrastructure to process larger and larger training corpora. We found that there's no data like more data, and scaled up the size of our data by one order of magnitude, and then another, and then one more - resulting in a training corpus of one trillion words from public Web pages.

Introduction to Social Network Methods: Table of Contents
This on-line textbook introduces many of the basics of formal approaches to the analysis of social networks. The text relies heavily on the work of Freeman, Borgatti, and Everett (the authors of the UCINET software package). The materials here, and their organization, were also very strongly influenced by the text of Wasserman and Faust, and by a graduate seminar conducted by Professor Phillip Bonacich at UCLA. Many other users have also made very helpful comments and suggestions based on the first version. Errors and omissions, of course, are the responsibility of the authors.
