#databeers_cph fans having fun here in Copenhagen Cheers Databeers Madrid 🍻

I had a blast performing my nation-scale-social-networks rap at the DataBeers Copenhagen yesterday! Thanks to the organizers for having me. I look forward to attending the next event in spring.

Thanks again to our amazing speakers Jeppe Rømer, Johanna Einsiedler, @jorgecarleitao, Christopher Jensen and Eva Otto, to our surprise guests Lasse Mohr and @BenFMaier, to our sponsors DTU Compute, ITUkbh, to Station - a Student Innovation House for hosting us and to all of you who joined! We had a blast🍻

Excited to introduce EXPASS - a novel explanation-directed neural message passing which aggregates only embeddings from nodes and edges identified as important by a GNN explanation method #GraphML [1/6]

My #ChatGPT prompt: 'write the song "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Tech Bros"'

🎤🎤🎤 Personal news 🚀🚀🚀 I’m beyond excited to share I recently joined Spotify (Spotify Research) as Research Scientist in Personalization!! We are also looking for an intern excited to improve the personalization and listening experience in Spotify lifeatspotify.com/jobs/summer-in…

A really refreshing take on how to publish science experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/things-could…. Fun, insightful and about as open-access as it can be.

What a great opening to a paper: arxiv.org/abs/1702.00467 . The Introduction is such a awesome take on how difficult it is to navigate all the different schools of thought when trying to solve a problem.

Finally got around to make a website. Its not much yet, but I insist on celebrating it anyway 🎉🥳

VIM continues to blow my mind: I just learned, that when using the insert-mode of VIM, you can type crtl+o to enter normal-mode for a single command. After the command, you re-enter insert mode. Such a satisfying command.

The video recording of my performance in the 2022 Copenhagen Science Slam is online!! youtube.com/watch?v=RERKFD… Side note, this is the performance that finally made me convert all presentations to pdf before showing them 😅 You can probably tell why.

Book recommendation: Invisible women. Really great writeup about how we as a society do not record data on women - leaving them 'invisible' in our metric-driven world.

🌐🎵#NetworkScience Music Video Alert!🎵🌐 Exploring the complex dance of social interactions, I delve into how our lives are sculpted by social “forces” through song, dance, and data science; it’s all algo’rythms and rhymes, baby! Watch it here [youtu.be/3NCR8G9iDGg]

My data viz image was picked for a cover of the Jan 2024 issue of the Nat Comput Sci journal 😋

Standing ovation for our visiting student Lasse Mohr's Dance Your Ph.D. entry on Social Forces. Best of luck in the competition! youtube.com/watch?v=3NCR8G…

Now that people have had some time to look for all the easter eggs🐣, let me ask, which poster in the children's-tv set was the best? If you missed the changing-poster easter egg, go back an check the original video: youtu.be/3NCR8G9iDGg?fe… 👀

We have an open rank position in Applied Machine Learning for Social Data Science. Join our faculty in wonderful Copenhagen! Or help us spread the word. 🙂 employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=…

Big congratz to all the winners! 🏆 Sorry that my own video didn't make it, but I'm happy to have participated and helped to make science more fun and accessible! If you haven't seen it, you can check out my entry at youtube.com/watch?v=3NCR8G…

Hey Mark Rober, big fan! Love how you have always emphasized fun and accesebility when communicating science and engineering! I tried to do the same in a recent video on my research in social network science, youtube.com/watch?v=3NCR8G…. Hope you can find time to watch it. Enjoy! 😀

My very first preprint is out! 'A Weighted-Median Model of Opinion Dynamics on Networks': arxiv.org/pdf/2406.17552 Highlight: a cool new mean-field approximation for continious-valued opinion dynamics
