Manifesto of computational social science [PDF]
The increasing integration of technology into our lives has created unprecedented volumes of data on society's everyday behaviour. Such data opens up exciting new opportunities to work towards a quantitative understanding of our complex social systems, within the realms of a new discipline known as Computational Social Science.

Visibility matters during wayfinding in the vertical
Visibility is the degree to which different parts of the environment can be observed from a given vantage point. In the absence of previous familiarity or signage, the visibility of key elements in a multilevel environment (e.g., the entrance, exit, or ...

AI Pontryagin or how artificial neural networks learn to control dynamical systems
Optimal control of complex dynamical systems can be challenging due to cost constraints and analytical intractability. The authors propose a machine-learning-based control framework able to learn control signals and force complex high-dimensional ...

Explaining classification performance and bias via network structure and sampling technique
Social networks are very important carriers of information. For instance, the political leaning of our friends can serve as a proxy to identify our own political preferences.
