The apparent dichotomy between information-processing and dynamical approaches to complexity science forces researchers to choose between two diverging sets of tools and explanations, creating conflict and often hindering scientific…
We are living in an information era from Twitter to Fitocracy every episode of peoples life is converted to numbers. That abundance of data is also available in information technologies. From Stackoverflow to GitHub many big data sources…
The objective is to present one important aspect of the European IST-FET project "REV!GIS"1: the methodology which has been developed for the translation (interpretation) of the quality of the data into a "fitness for use" information, that…
Industrial organisations, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME), face a number of challenges with regard to the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and methods. The scope of analytics processing…
In democracies, major policy decisions typically require some form of majority or consensus, so elites must secure mass support to govern. Historically, elites could shape support only through limited instruments like schooling and mass…
Ranking algorithms are the information gatekeepers of the Internet era. We develop a stylized model to study the effects of ranking algorithms on opinion dynamics. We consider a search engine that uses an algorithm based on popularity and…
Data is evolving with the rapid progress of population and communication for various types of devices such as networks, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), actuators, and sensors. The increment of data and communication content goes…
The rise of "big data" has led to the frequent need to process and store datasets containing large numbers of high dimensional observations. Due to storage restrictions, these observations might be recorded in a lossy-but-sparse manner,…
A growing trend in modern data analysis is the integration of data management with learning, guided by accuracy, latency, and cost requirements. In practice, applications draw data of different formats from many sources. In the meanwhile,…
Prediction polling is an increasingly popular form of crowdsourcing in which multiple participants estimate the probability or magnitude of some future event. These estimates are then aggregated into a single forecast. Historically,…
Conventional machine learning methods are predominantly designed to predict outcomes based on a single data type. However, practical applications may encompass data of diverse types, such as text, images, and audio. We introduce…
Crowdsourcing and data mining can be used to effectively reduce the effort associated with the partial replication and enhancement of qualitative studies. For example, in a primary study, other researchers explored factors influencing the…
Developing an understanding of high-dimensional data can be facilitated by visualizing that data using dimensionality reduction. However, the low-dimensional embeddings are often difficult to interpret. To facilitate the exploration and…
We consider inference for a collection of partially observed, stochastic, interacting, nonlinear dynamic processes. Each process is identified with a label called its unit, and our primary motivation arises in biological metapopulation…
Databases covering all individuals of a population are increasingly used for research and decision-making. The massive size of such databases is often mistaken as a guarantee for valid inferences. However, population data have…
Advancements in Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) have made huge amounts of traffic data available through automatic data collection. A big part of this data is stored as trajectories of moving vehicles and road users. Automatic analysis of…
Online socio-technical systems can be studied as proxy of the real world to investigate human behavior and social interactions at scale. Here we focus on Instagram, a media-sharing online platform whose popularity has been rising up to…
Analyzing big data in a highly dynamic environment becomes more and more critical because of the increasingly need for end-to-end processing of this data. Modern data flows are quite complex and there are not efficient, cost-based,…
Recommender systems recommend objects regardless of potential adverse effects of their overcrowding. We address this shortcoming by introducing crowd-avoiding recommendation where each object can be shared by only a limited number of users…
Loss Data Analytics is an interactive, online, freely available text. The idea behind the name Loss Data Analytics is to integrate classical loss data models from applied probability with modern analytic tools. In particular, we seek to…
