Science of Science Summer School (S4) 2022 August 1 - 12, 2022, Virtually hosted by the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, NY, USA https://s4.scienceofscience.org
Cost: Free, but apply Apply by: July 2, 2022
S4 will introduce you to foundational and emerging questions, theories, and methods for science of science. We will review the big questions regarding knowledge production and the role of individuals, teams, countries, institutions, and funding agencies in making this possible. We will review machine learning, artificial intelligence, network science, and other topics to answer these questions. The school will be heavily based on Python, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/Keras, networkx, and the JupyterLab environment. We will provide a curated web-based environment with all software packages and relevant datasets pre-installed, so you will not need anything installed on your computer.
The first week of summer school, August 1 - August 5, 2022:
* Interest-based suggested matching for group projects * Synchronous lectures and presentations by leaders in the field * Opportunities for group discussion about lectures * Opportunities for socializing The second week of summer school, August 8 - August 12, 2021:
* Synchronous (Zoom) lectures from mentors and speakers * One-on-one or small group meetings with mentors * Project presentations and results by the end of week August 12, 2021 * (Optional) mini-grant proposal submission by August 12, 2021 Speakers/mentors:
* Aaron Clauset, Associate Professor, Colorado University, Boulder * Ludo Waltman, Professor, Leiden University * Roberta Sinatra, Associate Professor, ITU Copenhagen * Julia Lane, Professor, New York University * Daniel Romero, Associate Professor, University of Michigan * Patricia Feeney, Head of Metadata, Crossref * Bei Yu, Professor, Syracuse University * Arunas Radzvilavicius, Editor, Nature Human Behaviour * Nihar B. Shah, Assistant Professor, CMU * Tom Hope, Assistant Professor, HUJI, and Research Scientist, Allen AI (AI2) Organizers:
