WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/watterson-bill/4909/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from Bill Watterson</a><blockquote>   CALVIN: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I can’t afford to take that risk.    HOBBES: You’re ignorant, but at least you act on it.</blockquote>Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist Calvin and Hobbes (1993-09-21) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/watterson-bill/4909/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/watterson-bill/4909/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=billwatterson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#billwatterson</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=calvinandhobbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#calvinandhobbes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#action</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#complexity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=confusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#confusion</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=decision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#decision</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=decisionmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#decisionmaking</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dosomething" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dosomething</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=gray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gray</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ignorance</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inaction</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=indecision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indecision</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=nuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nuance</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=optionparalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#optionparalysis</a>

Jack William BellI don't want to hear about isms, no matter what they are. The complexities of human interaction invalidate any reductive 'system' because rules which work in one situation fail or are easily gamed in another. Moreover, all 'systems' based on isms demonstrate unexpected second-order consequences in the real world.

ned haughtonWow."under conventional positivist frameworks, the majority of the most pressing issues are ignored: non-linear dynamics, multi-stable states, multi-scale behavior, slow/fast variable dynamics on the systems side and adaptive change, surprise and inherent unpredictability on the policy side. ... the “science” in traditional ecology is typically quadrate-science small scale, short term. For it is the only way to pretend that one can be certain. In essence the primary root to success under conventional science is to define a trivial question, use a replicated experimental protocol, and avoid type one error. I saw this vividly among the 60 editors of Conservation Ecology (a journal begun in 1997 that has come to be called Ecology and Society). Those who function at scales below a few meters or a few decades (from population genetics to quadrate ecology, population ecology and community ecology) tended to react to papers by wanting precise answers rather than interesting questions. They searched for what is wrong in a paper, rather than what might be relevant and novel. Their ignorance of the broad scientific literature, or even other areas of ecology and environmental science, was profound. Above that scale, the editors were just about the opposite. Their backgrounds were multidisciplinary with strong roots in one discipline, interests in both theory and practice that extended across large scale and cross scale systems."CS Holling, in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108235754.003" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108235754.003</a><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#complexity</a>

Charo del GenioNew paper! How can we detect the presence of communities in networks with higher-order interactions? For instance, by maximizing hypermodularity! Also, this formulation will allow you to leverage tensor spectral methods to do it. Additionally, the paper also argues that the "overfitting" of modularity methods is actually just people applying them where they are not supposed to be used. And, as a byproduct, there is an explanation of why higher-order SVD works so well in classification tasks in machine learning. Oh, the code is available to use in your own projects (link in the first comment). And moreover, the code includes an efficient data structure for higher-order networks that is independent from the community detection method and that you can also use in your own work. 😎<a href="https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/58dr-wktc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/58dr-wktc</a><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#networks</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#complexity</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maths</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CompSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CompSci</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/graphs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#graphs</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/higherorder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#higherorder</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/hypergraphs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hypergraphs</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/detection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#detection</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#algorithm</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/communitystructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#communitystructure</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/modularity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#modularity</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/hypermodularity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hypermodularity</a>
