Research Topics Grades

11 fevereiro 2019, 11:12 João Miguel Dias

Hi everyone,


I've published the grades for the Research Topics Course, you can find them on the course's webpage (under section Pauta), or in the dropbox folder I've gave you access to.

I've decided this year to only consider the Seminars and the Quizzes part of the evaluation (15% each) if they increase your final grade. In other words, if the final grade taking everything in consideration would be lower than your research project grade, you will get to keep your research project grade as the final grade for the course.

If there is anything you would like to discuss about the grade, you have until the end of this week to send me an email.



Important announcements

22 dezembro 2018, 14:59 João Miguel Dias

Given the requests of several students, I've decided to postpone the delivery of the research project.


The new deadline is that you have to deliver and discuss your research project by the end of January.

Also, given that this semester there were no distinguished lectures from INESC-ID, I will relax that requirement about assistance to invited talks.

You just need to present proof of assistance to 4 normal invited talks or seminars.


Next classes

GAIPS Seminar - Artificial sociality - modelling the social mind

12 outubro 2018, 17:13 João Miguel Dias

I would like to invite you a Seminar organized by GAIPS next Monday, October 15th, at 11:30 in room 1.38 in Taguspark. 


Prof. Gert Jan Hofstede will be giving us a talk about his latest work on the use of agent-based models for modeling complex systems. Among other things, he is the co-author of probably the most widely known dimensional theory of cultural values.

Here are the details of the talk as well as a short bio.

Title: Artificial sociality- modelling the social mind

Abstract:Gert Jan will discuss ‘artificial sociality’, the subject for which he was recently appointed professor. It is about foundational conceptual models of human sociality based on social science, for use in agent-based models of complex systems in the life sciences. Artificial sociality involves two main components: designing individual minds, including emotions and underlying social motives, and modelling self-organization of behaviour at the level of the social system. A special focus rests on safety and resilience in socio-‘something’ systems in which human components are replaced by technical ones.

Bio:
Gert Jan Hofstede (1956) graduated as a population biologist in Wageningen, then went on to become a computer programmer. He returned to academia, and did a PhD in production planning (1992). During that time, Gert Jan became convinced that in complex systems, the human element is often understudied. He worked on simulation gaming, on trust and transparency in supply chains, and during the last decade, on social simulation. His current interest is in using agent-based models for capturing the relational side of complex socio-technical or socio-ecological systems, like, for instance, industrial safety or disease control in potato culture. He is a personal professor at the Information Technology group of Wageningen University, and founder of the Silico centre at that university.
